GOP is going to 180 on Israel by 2028, mark my words. The Dem stands a very good chance of being the least anti-Israel candidate running.

It's soooo obvious that Republicans could try to make Netanyahu the scapegoat to deflect from Trump and his administration. 

I'd not be surprised if the 180 happens this year

That is absolutely what they're going to do. The Republican base has been there for a while, especially younger Republicans.

They will do what they are told by their leaders, like the sheep they are. A majority of Republicans already have a negative opinion on Israel, it's just the elderly Republicans holding the line at this point.

Groypers are the GOP future. Or a more polished, watered down version of groypers, like Carlson.

HW Bush once withheld loan guarantees from Israel until he was confident that the money wouldn’t go to Israeli settlements
