I know the administration gets super pissed when you criticize them over the war. This war was a catastrophic mistake. And we can all just agree now. I mean, I know they&#8217;re out there saying, well, we won, we won.   Here&#8217;s what they never understood, the Marc Thiessens, the Will Chamberlains, the Mark Levins. You don&#8217;t get any political points, even if you did win a war and that slop was true. You don&#8217;t get any political points with these people from winning a war they didn&#8217;t want, from winning a war that actually hurt them, from winning a war that completely distracted you away from the domestic agenda they elected you to implement.   It was all downside. And that&#8217;s what they never understood. We could go out, bro, and put the banner up, mission accomplished. We won, rah, rah, America, b*tch, and come home. And that&#8217;s it. It&#8217;s too late. It&#8217;s too late. You have to do something now for them, or you&#8217;re going to lose badly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/09\/02\/rich_baris_even_if_we_win_in_iran_you_dont_get_political_points_from_winning_a_war_people_didnt_want.html\">RealClearPolitics Videos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rich Baris, director of Big Data Poll, on &#8220;The People&#8217;s Pundit&#8221; podcast, said the Iran War has become a political liability for the Trump administration because it pulled attention away from the domestic agenda voters actually cared about.
