The Iran War Weighs On Troop Morale & Voters’ Patience

Left, Right & Center vor 3 Wochen

The political lives of some Republicans literally depend on their
carefully crafted messaging around an unpopular war and unpopular
president. Many know they can’t abandon Trump, and getting on his
bad side doesn’t generally end well for Republicans,
either.

We talk about dire conditions reported on the USS Abraham Lincoln
where its extended Middle East deployment has pushed some sailors
to the brink. It’s put a spotlight on the morale of our troops,
as well as what our military strength looks like to other
countries.

Plus we take listener questions, including from one who thinks a
progressive swing left is a losing strategy for Democrats who’ll
need the South to win the next presidency.
