In my humble opinion, Trump may have just DELIVERED the US Senate to the Democrats in 2026! (along with the House!)

[Jack Valentino]

Trump and the Republicans were ALREADY at 2006 Bush disapproval poll ratings over the economy,
WITHOUT any new middle eastern war----

and NOW they want to add a NEW "Iraq war" on top of that ???

"NOBODY VOTED FOR THAT!"--- and indeed, Trump RAN on
NOT starting any new wars---- before he became a 'neo-con' himself!
Even many MAGATS are now bailing on him over THIS particular 'broken promise'!

And, before he started this NEW WAR against Iran,
Republicans were ALREADY starting to panic about their continued control of the Senate!-----
before this NEW SHIT was thrown against the wall!


I think this will TURN the upcoming Senate general elections
in Ohio, Maine, Alaska and TEXAS---

(and possibly some other states which I can't imagine right now---
and that the Democratic incumbents/candidates in any 'swing states'
will HOLD their seats this November!)


((YEAH, I'd rather that the 'High-Chair Hitler' hadn't done this,
but we can't seem to control him---

but I think this is the 'silver lining'!))



((( Too bad Iranian civilians may 'pay the price' for it,
but 'it is what it is'! )))

1. It will be a distant memory to most by November.

[Jack Valentino]

2. That depends on how long the war lasts.....

but if Trump TACO's soon enough, you may be right....




In any case, I don't think it helps him any

(and you among the many on this form should not be so pessimistic!)

20. Trump's gonna cut and run from Iran

He'll be there just long enough to assure that Israel isn't threatened. I believe he said this is gonna last about a week.

Then, he's outta there. At least that's what I predict. He doesn't like being unpopular and right now it doesn't like a transition to a new type of government is gonna happen. It will be a repeat of same old, plus nine Pakistani protesters were killed at the US Embassy in Karachi today. Not a good look.....

3. I doubt it. He has really pissed off MAGA.

Super far right Nick Fuentes;

"Do not vote in the midterms, and if you do, VOTE DEMOCRAT! This administration needs to be SHUT DOWN!"

6. They always go back to home

[SSJVegeta]

9. Yeah losing the far right isolationist crowd could actually be the nail in the oversized McDonalds paperbag

[planj07]

10. We shall see

The isolationist stance is a pretty fervent one for some conservatives. I definitely think TACO is going to lose supporters but enough to vote Democrat?

[Jack Valentino]

16. probably enough to 'stay home'----

dildo pedophile has a poor record of turning out his voters,
when he is not personally on the ballot----

and there is no need for them to vote for Democrats,
if they only fail to show up for the election....

11. Who knows where we'll be in November

It’s been just over one year since he’s been back in office and it feels like an eternity.

We could have a stock market crash by then, fueled by open AI falling apart. We could have increasing unemployment too. Inflation could be spiking.

Impossible to say. Any initial quick “success” of taking out Khamanei will likely be short lived.

[Celerity]

12. OpenAI is a private company and is not publicly traded on any stock exchange.

[SSJVegeta]

4. ...and if he goes much further than he already has, he will be removed from office

...to be real, his support in congress is already teetering on the brink of collapse.

[Jack Valentino]

5. He SHOULD be--- but I won't predict that much----

since the Republican congresspeople are SO WEAK....

[SSJVegeta]

8. He SHOULD have been removed 9 years ago and every day he has been in office since

...but even sychophantic power hungry politicians have their limits. And this will be it.

(If he follows through with a full scale invasion)

The reason is because a substantial portion of the GOP's entire base at this point is anti-war.

[RockRaven]

7. Never underestimate the stupidity, ignorance, or distractibility of American voters.

[WheelWalker]

13. I agree, comrade ...

I think if this War brings regime change, it will be to the United States and not Iran

[Raine]

14. Polls show the majority are in favor of whats going on. nt

[regnaD kciN]

17. They always are, for the first month...

[LeftInTX]

21. It's not gonna last that long.

Trump only cares about he looks.

[Jack Valentino]

22. THIS poll says a mere 27% approve of this Iran war now!

https://democraticunderground.com/10143624350

"About 27% of respondents said they approved of the strikes, while 43% disapproved and 29% were not sure. About nine in 10 respondents said they had heard at least a little about the strikes, which began early on Saturday.

About 56% of Americans think Trump, who has also ordered strikes in Venezuela, Syria and Nigeria in recent months, is too willing to use military force to advance US interests. The vast majority of Democrats - 87% - held this view, as did 23% of Republicans and 60% of people who don’t identify with either political party."

[BannonsLiver]

15. I don't see what the upside is for the Republicans beyond the sugar high.

They will lose an as yet determined number of isolationist types within the maga spectrum. And it doesn’t have to be many for it to matter to impact the midterms.

If it’s unsuccessful it adds to a long list of problems they already had. If it’s successful, post afterglow, everyone still has the same problems they had before here at home.

[flvegan]

18. "Too bad Iranian civilians may 'pay the price' for it, but 'it is what it is'!"

I really wish I hadn't read that here at DU.

[Jack Valentino]

23. Sorry if you found that somehow offensive.

Naturally I hope that civilian casualties could be kept to a minimum---
and if it were up to ME, there wouldn't be ANY, because there would BE no war...

[Doodley]

19. This is why the elections will not happen, or if they do there will be so much election interference and

intimidation, the two GOP-fixed outlier opinion polls that give Trump 50% approval will claim to have been right all along.
