Those contours of big partisan splits apply to pretty much everything these days. Trump would have had trouble with MAGA had he gone further. Long article in Jewish World Review about pre-strike efforts to politic with the non-intervention faction. Ceasefire helped. It doesn't take much effort to find statements from Obama, Biden and both Clintons about not allowing Iran to have nukes so the party posture here is another example of being obsessed with the Bad Orange Man to the exclusion of forming coherent policy positions.

If you'd of asked me two months ago of the wisdom of Israel bombing the heck out of Iran followed by the US bunker busting some enrichment site, I'd of thought it crazy dangerous. Once Israel had air superiority over Tehran I changed my thinking. Just goes to show I and probably most others aren't that well informed. Trump's big bombs by the time he dropped them, were low risk and not controversial, to me anyway.

Too much partisanship on most issues.

Polls are not based on reality nor facts. All they indicate is the impact of spin.

The courageous act of Donald J Trump will never be acknowledged by those that simply hate him. Yes, perhaps the nuclear threat of Iran was not as strong said obliterated but it was certainly very effective and I ran will have a very long time if ever to get back to where it was. My prediction is that the cease-fire will not last. And hey what about Gaza and Hamas?

Democrats' immediate and unqualified opposition and footdragging continues to look stupid and evil. Once again, it portrays a party that cannot celebrate ANY American success. No, there won't be any further involvement. Trump said Iran won't have nukes. Now they wont. This was not even Grenada. But from a kid cancer survivor at the SOTU to the murders of Americans by illegals to rioting and burning to every single big public issue, the "politics" of the strike once again accentuate that the Democrats give a clear image of a party that hates the USA, and the NYC primary, where a socialist jihadi was elected, underscores that point. Latest generic ballot show Rs with an EIGHT point lead (!), and last two reliable Trump polls were 54% and 56%. Until Democrats can make the public think that they actually care about the future of the nation, they are sunk.
