    I actually think that would be really good for Trump, if it actually happened. Remember what happened to W’s approval after 9/11, and what kinds of new powers were passed even with the then more functional democracy.

        Will red America really see it that way? Blue America will still hate Trump, of course.

          Probably, its their proud soldiers going of to war… And losing. Or maybe still winning but at a high cost

          Military embarrassments is a pretty terminal for regimes, Argentina post Falklands war comes to mind

          Either way, pretty sure the red states would like him more if he won with no consequences
