Not sure about the bump? or not sure it will be short-lived.?

Sooo ... I think all Republicans will love the killing of brown Muslims, I think all the 'bros' will love the use of big bombs that go bang, I think liberal Zionists will love killing people for Israel, and I think there will also be a bit of a rally around the flag.

Sooo ... 2005 Iraq War level? That sort of slow decay? But I think it is a net positive in 2028 for Trump. It gives Trump an accomplishment and a club to bash Democrats "why do you love the terrorists and hate the troops".

But ... again ... not sure.

I am old enough to remember the beginning of the Iraq war, and how those of us who opposed it were so vehemently demonized. I can't believe we're doing this again.

Sister, me too.

I can't believe we're doing it again. I'd tell you to watch MSNBC, CNN and the NYT to see which way they swing, but, I can't tell you to watch them in good conscience.

I think Democrats will support the attack as much as Republicans. Hillary 2003 support.

There will be the obvious attacks on progressives as usual for "criticisng the commander in chief during a time of war", yada, yada, yada.

An interesting insight will be the NYC Primary. If it's a big swing to Cuomo, then it's going to get REALLY bad.

While I do not totally agree with all of the characterizations, you provide a very Good analysis.

I think the test will be if support drops precipitously when Americans start dying for Israel.

I think that will cause an even STRONGER rally around the flag for some, but others may not ... you know ... the antisemites.

The price of gas will probably go up ... not sure how long Trump can distract from that ... at least a year I suspect.

Well, one thing is for certain: we'll be home by Christmas!

That's right, fight! Let the Yankees be the ones to ask for peace! The situation's very simple: the Yankees can't fight, and we can! It won't even be a battle! That's what! I think they'll just turn and run every time! One Southerner can lick 20 Yankees! Why, will finish him in one battle! Gentlemen can always fight better than rabble!
