And so giving him credit for that in that lasting success is something that no one was willing to do the first term and most people forget about now. But what a lot of this stuff is contingent upon is โ I mean I think that it's also โ
mostly true that uh uh you know people don't love war i mean there are some i mean i know that there's this idea of that these bloodthirsty warmongers but i think by and large that's not the case Yeah, I mean, there's John Bolton. I mean, Donald Trump, of course, hired John Bolton, which was a weird thing.

And then also, and look, and also, you know, he's, I mean, yeah, I mean, you're talking about the evolution of politics. He's talking about this Iran deal and praising this Iran deal, the potential of this Iran deal, which most of the observers of this stuff and the JCPOA basically say pretty much the same thing, which, you know, very similar.

i don't doubt that and i think that you know what he did in 2016 when it came to iraq was actually open that lane up for people to criticize it and actually now to say the opposite of that would be surprising to hear a republican say on stage or not debate said she was the first one to do it and then everyone kind of followed suit after it was like okay here's the signal that that part is gone but what a lot of this relies upon i mean again the rhetoric is fine
