[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3386965, member: 66082"] I learned this about republicans following the Iraq war. For well over a decade, republicans defended that disastrous war. I'd get into all kinds of debates with republican co-workers about that war and again for well over a decade they defended it. I really believed they cared about the policy outcome of the Iraq war. Trump runs for President and to destroy Jeb Bush, he attacks GWBush and the Iraq war. Trump basically parrots the most anti-Iraq war talking points, stuff I had been saying for years. He stressed repeatedly that he was against the war before it began, he stressed that the war was a huge mistake that we should have never fought it, and said Bush created ISIL. It was total repudiation of all of the "policy" reasons republicans supposedly supported that war. And my republican co-workers didn't give a damn. They no longer defend the Iraq War, and they weren't upset with Trump because the Iraq War didn't matter to them. It was thing to argue with "democrats" about who were just attacking their guy GWBush, but the actual policy outcomes of the Iraq war don't matter one bit to republicans. They do not care and that's why they dropped defending that war once Trump came along. Republicans do not care about policy. [/QUOTE]
