So I think it's a matter of crowding out rather than convincing people they should vote for Republicans in the midterms because of what he did in Venezuela.

That's not going to happen.

Yes.

And, you know, there are some members of MAGA, prominent members that have pointed this out.

Marjorie Teller Greene, who's left Congress because of a falling out with Trump, said, boy, were we wrong when we believed him that he wouldn't spend taxpayer dollars overseas and he'd focus on problems right here at home in the USA.

So there are people who think that there are very few of them who are willing to come out and criticize Trump.

But maybe instead of voting against Republicans, maybe they'll just stay home.

Well, the raid fits with MAGA.

Running Venezuela on a day to day basis, whatever that means, might not fit with MAGA.

Probably not.

He doesn't see any limits.

on his ability to exercise U.S.

force abroad, except that he doesn't seem to want to do this to other big superpowers.

According to the Trump doctrine, the three big aggressive superpowers, China, Russia, and the U.S., can pretty much do what they want in their own sphere of influence or neighborhood.

In the U.S.

case, it's the Western Hemisphere.

Even though he seems very willing to use military force against smaller, weaker countries like Venezuela or maybe Greenland,

He is extremely reluctant to confront the other two superpowers.

He has not put pressure on Vladimir Putin to reverse his invasion of Ukraine.

And he doesn't seem to be talking about doing anything to defend Taiwan against a potential Chinese takeover.
