    It’s not comparable to supporting the latest Israeil offensive, however that level of offensive was not in play during Trump’s term. However, during his term Israel did continue it’s general anti-Palestinian aggression, and Trump was obviously fine and dandy with it to the point of moving the embassy to effectively take the side of the Zionists. So every data we have to guess Trump’s behavior relative to the Gaza invasion suggests he’d be at least as pro-Zionist as the current administration.

    Trump is not a Reagan or Bush or even a “Republican” so much as he is “Trump”. To the extent it came up, he was snubbed by former presidents including Bush. Trying to extrapolate 30 year old Republican behavior to guess Trump’s behavior doesn’t work.

        Perhaps, but that’s where we are, unfortunately.

        Biden won the primaries previously because they hoped he would be inoffensive to slightly right leaning folks that might have been willing to vote against Trump.
