"Only nine percent of MAGA opposes it. In addition, beyond MAGA, the broader GOP base is overwhelmingly on board with this war. For example, while a new Quinnipiac Poll found only 40% of Americans support Trump’s iran war--among the GOP that number shoots up to 85%. ...

"A majority so clear that politicians like Kent want to tap into it. And that’s a good thing.
But there’s a cynicism to his letter and its insistence that the president of the United States is some defenseless lamb being led astray by Israel. …
