This is When Support for War Ends in Twin Falls

Again, this is an opinion, but I believe four dollars a gallon for regular gas is the breaking point.  Liberals, who a few years ago wanted eight dollars a gallon to promote the crunchy lifestyle, now find higher prices better political leverage.  They weren’t going to support a war started by President Trump, even if gas was a buck-98 a gallon.  They see an opportunity to turn you against the mean orange man.  But when Newt Gingrich, an icon of American conservatism, warns that costs at the pump will erode support, I listen.  You can hear him too by clicking here.

We Aren't as Committed as Previous Generations

Even some of Trump’s strongest backers say he didn’t do enough to sell the war.  Look, if he had announced it in advance, the element of surprise would’ve been lost.  Iran probably knew the day was coming, but if they had known it was February 28^th, things would’ve been far more difficult for the United States and Israel.

Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

Meanwhile, we've seen this before:
