But the president should not be telling people to stay quiet and trust him because it will always work out either.
Well, I think that the risk is much greater in the general election.
The primary election is going to be fought between people who are really interested in politics.
I would push back against your groups, because I think neocon versus non-interventionist, those are...
those are groups but they're not the only two they're not the biggest two i i would say most people now aren't neocons neocon was a really it was a particular point in time uh not only are neocons and non-interventionists not the main categories but i would suggest that most people who identify as conservatives or who vote republican sort of sit somewhere in the middle don't particularly care but they sit somewhere in the middle of those
things.
And Trump himself... Depends on the conflict.
Well, it does.
But also Trump himself sounds like both of them.
You know, sometimes Trump sounds very hawkish as he has here.
Sometimes he sounds like a Jacksonian.
Sometimes he sounds like a non-interventionist or even an isolationist.
He's been called all sorts of names.
And that's because he contains multitudes.
So I don't particularly like the setup because I don't think those are the groups.
What I do think is possible, not necessarily because of this Iran war, but the
situation you suppose where a third party comes along I think it's possible as a general matter because more and more Americans have moved into non-partisan camp
And that has left the two parties more on the wings.
And primaries tend to elevate the people who are the most enthusiastic about politics within those two parties.
So at some point, it does seem possible to me that someone will come along in the middle, maybe using some of this populist energy and spoil an election.
