WEBVTT - Hugh Hewitt: GOP Better Not Go Wobbly on Iran

0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>This is you. Hewittt for townhall dot Com. Many predictions

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>about the midterm elections in the United States are dire

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:10.239
<v Speaker 1>for the GOP. A wipeout in the House, perhaps even

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 1>losing the Senate majority as well. The GOP could weather

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the electoral storm that almost always chasens the party of

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>a president finishing his six year in office. But they

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>got to do stuff to do that weathering. Every candidate

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 1>and every partisan race has to make the case, which

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>is easy to make. The Islamic Republic of Iran is

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>an evil regime that cannot have News seems certain that

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>President Trump is not going to go wobbly in the

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>battle with Iran. Similarly, the GOP better not go wobbly either.

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>Americans have lost the muscle memory of victory. It will

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>quickly regain an appreciation for resolve once the conflict is over.

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>GOP candidates must loudly and persuasively argue that the battle

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>with Iran was long past due and is well worth winning.

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>There is no winning for the GOP in November without

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>demanding and defending victory in this battle with Iran. I'm

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:58.400
