    Yeah, unfortunately I think it's more likely to see the Dems thread the needle and go "Of course, domestically, we're against everything the Trump administration is doing; but even we have to admit it's admirable the support he's showing our Israeli allies."

          The question is, can we get enough of these regular people to come around to the idea that the Dem party leadership is their fucking enemy?
