Bill Kristol Thinks Trump's GOP Is About to Get Wiped Out (Plus: JVL!) | Bulwark Daily

The Iran war and its impacts at home are major issues in the midterms, but POTUS is not finished with his misadventure in the Middle East. One key Democratic senator who's been briefed on the war plan says it's "insane" and would lead to a "devastating escalation" of the conflict. In rosier news, the polls continue to look good for the Democrats. Bill—who was bullish back in the summer—is even more so now, while Tim remains nervous about the Senate margin. And in a special bonus segment, JVL and Tim break down Haley Stevens's psychotic break over the weekend. Bill Kristol and Jonathan V. Last join Tim Miller. Start speaking a new language with Babbel!
