Asking whether Buttigieg is correct saying that innocent people died as a result of “tit for tat”

More than 17,000 votes. Smerconish was astounded at the number of responses and the wide margin

...where he said something like, "What happened to the days when we were all united against a common enemy?" That really bugged me. Why do we always have to have an enemy? If I was thinking wistfully of how I'd like the world to be, that's not the framework I would use.

That said, an online poll on his viewers isn't in any way significant.

Tit for Tat is very real with the people I don't consider as the government.

He's actually one of the better commentator's on TV. Not radical spewing of either sides talking points. He usually takes on the issues of the day and sometimes he's on my side, sometimes he's not. I look and vote for his question of day periodically:

A die hard Republican. I bet that poll shocked the pants off him.

I use to listen to him on the radio sometimes. He was very supportive of Obama because he felt Obama was saying the right things about Pakistan at the time.

I haven't been listening to him lately but I'd be shocked if he supported Trump, or any of the crazier Republicans. I'm sure he recognizes that those aren't true conservatives, and that he would support a "sane" (in his mind) Democrat over a nutjob winger. I'm guessing he wouldn't support Bernie Sanders though.

A lot of people I know who aren't as tuned in to politics, like to listen to him for exactly those reasons.

Senseless loss of lives I agree The timing most likely started over trump impeachment and his religious minions seeing a break in trump to convince him to hit Iran now imo
