The two-week temporary ceasefire has done little to quell GOP fears about the war in Iran costing the party seats in November.
Republicans are relieved over Trump’s steps toward reconciliation in Iran — but they worry the measures are too little, too late to save them from a brutal midterm election cycle.
Behind the public celebration by many Republicans of the temporary two-week ceasefire announcement, longtime party operatives continue to warn of a bleak political reality as the cost-of-living concerns around the war including spiking gas prices that are likely to continue for weeks if not longer even if the fragile ceasefire holds.
A person close to the White House, granted anonymity to speak candidly, put it bluntly.
“This war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterms in November — the Senate and House,” the person said.
No you didn’t. If I were Republican I would have voted Republican. Why would I do a roundabout voting thing, rather than just vote Republican if I wanted a Republican to win?
I think I’d bet money I did, in fact.
Odds even better from a brand-spankin’ new 1-month-old account, LOL. Got that classic false equivalence both sides wedge-driving scent, even!
Looks, Acts, Quacks, Helps a Republican!
Must be a Republican.

Obivously you didn’t look at my profile where I listed my accounts. My original account is Lemmy.today. Then it was lemmings.world, but it’s closing. So I created this one. I am not a new 1-month-old account.
All that info is right in my profile.
I have been on Lemmy for 3 years, bub.
So you bet money that someone on Lemmy who says they are not a republican, is a republican? Um…doubt it. But if true, you are taking Lemmy way too seriously.
Again tho, if I were republican, wouldn’t it be better for me to vote Republican? Why would I vote third party if I were a republican? Seems kinda the long way around, don’t you think?
