    First of all, I didn’t name names. But how would a Republican be different? They’re all hawks. They wouldn’t pressure Israel to wind things down at all, they might even put boots on the ground

      Why are you getting into weird hypotheticals? If it’s a republican, it will be Trump. If it’s not, because he straight up dies, they’ll still be the same voter base: a voter base which isn’t going to accept boots on the ground.

      “Pressuring” Israel has done precisely fuck all, which is my point. Because by “pressuring” you mean “asking nicely”.

      And you’re right: a republican wouldn’t be different. That’s what I’m saying.
