Dems Eyeing 2028 split on Criticism of Attacks on Iran

Axios, a Voice of the Crust.
Potential Democratic presidential candidates are blasting Donald Trump’s war against Iran, but their criticisms differ — and a few even echo some Trump talking points.
The problem for Democrats is that Americans have been waiting for decades for some President to do what Trump has been doing, from getting stuck into the immigration problem to robust action against state sponsors of Islamic terrorism like Iran, and everything the Democrats have to say against Trump’s actions merely pulls them deeper and deeper into the tarpit of obvious anti-Americanism.
Favoring every other nation except your own may work in Britain and Canada and Australia, and certainly works in Europe, but with Americans … not so much.
