Jonathan Tamari: “After nearly two years of clinging to the president, it’s a tough sell to tell people less than six weeks before Election Day that, hey, actually, we don’t support this war that’s been going on for seven months.”

“It’s even harder when some turn down a chance to put their words into action, as several did Thursday by again voting against a resolution to end the conflict, despite calling for it to wrap up or complaining that gas prices are too high.”

“The Iran vote might help them again avoid blowback from Trump, but it keeps at-risk senators on record supporting one of his most unpopular decisions.”
