I hope you're right, but Ted Cruz & co are very pro-bombing

Will Ted Cruz even be around in 2 years? His in-your-face loathsomeness may be catching up with him, even in TX GOP primaries.
-
that's a lot of time to expand into Syria & as a Texan, no reason to think he'd be replaced by a less politically odious guy
-
Fair point, and yes, a less odious replacement to Cruz might be equally pro-bombing. But not quite a given anymore.
-
good reason to think losing seats will only make remaining Lege more extreme http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/10/15/13273658/congress-2017 …

That's bad for federal social and economic policy BUT I expect deep divisions within this caucus on questions of war and peace.
-
like I said, I hope you're right but looking at how Rand shifted on backing Israel makes me doubt
-
He was and remains a contemptible weenie on US aid to Israel/Egypt BUT look at him vote against US support for Saudi air war on Yemen

she will wage war secretly via the CIA
-
I think even there she'll face greater pushback than Obama has with his drone campaign.
-
she's admitted that the first thing she wants to do is to overthrow Assad
-
She wants that, but will she be able to do it? A lot of people on both sides of GOP/Dem divide sick of endless expanding wars…

tend to think she is prisoner of her own rhetoric & the wrongheaded foreign policy crowd she admires. Hope I'm wrong & you're right
-
Either way I expect her and her crowd of liberal hawks/neocons to face heavier resistance than expected from many sides
-
hope you're right! Not sure the media will be one of those sides expressing resistance.

Damn, I wish I could be that optimistic. War is the health of the state. Personal feelings about Dear Leader mean nothing.
