“It would seem the fate of Trump’s presidency lies in his decision to enter into a ground war with Iran — something successive presidents, including himself, have promised not to do since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in which millions of American men and women served over a 20-year period, draining resources, morale and, frankly, recruitment potential for the services. In poll after poll, the majority of Americans oppose going to war with Iran at all, and fear a prolonged war that will suck the country into another quagmire. This should set alarm bells in the administration. Republicans continue to support the war but in decreasing numbers, and they have clearly soured even more on the idea of sending in ground troops. There’s more. A new Fox News poll released on Wednesday revealed just how low Trump’s numbers were sinking and why.” (03/27/26)
