Well, it could have been a lot worse for Republicans. The Democrats won back the House of Representatives for the first time since Barack Obama’s first term. Republicans gained three seats in the Senate. And President Trump will have an emboldened group of House Democrats ready to foil his gains and put pressure on him with subpoena power.

While the country is obsessing over the midterm elections on Tuesday, the military industrial complex rife with neoconservative nation builders has completed its hijacking of President Trump’s foreign policy. Instead of navigating a non-interventionist America First foreign policy, the president has hired warmonger John Bolton lobs bombs and sends troops to Syria based on faulty information of chemical weapons attacks. Is Trump appeasing the generals and neoconservatives in order to stay in power?
