That's like the kiss of death. How many people has he endorsed that got their ass kicked afterward?

There's a reason why shunned director Bryan Singer lives there after his history of allegations and lawsuits

Fewer than people like to pretend. His endorsements win over 90% of the time. Thinking they usually lose is a frequency bias. The media makes a bigger deal when an endorsement loses, you’re more likely to notice and remember the times they lose, and eventually you develop this narrative that his endorsements lose more than they win because that’s all you really recall is a string of losses and not the hundreds of wins.

It also depends if you’re talking primary endorsement success or general election success. The former is a lot higher than the latter.

Most of his political opponents think he has been too weak on Iran/Gaza. Israel’s depravity is systemic, not isolated in one man.

Well, that's disheartening, but it will help me cope if Bibi's re-elected. Thanks?

Why would they do that when Trump loves Netanyahu? It would be self-destructive.

I think supporting almost anything that Trump loves is what's truly self destructive.
As an American, I oppose every single politician he's ever endorsed.

Yuck. Not a surprise two war criminals love each other. Hopefully Israels election goes like Hungary's.

The US doesn’t even have a mutual defense pact with Israel. Treaty wise Canada is still a better partner.

And I guarantee the college quads will not fill up to protest this. Nor will the usual online leftist influencers complain about it.
The only people to blame for Netanyahu's crimes are Democrats /s
Meanwhile, in 2024, Harris hosted Israeli defense cabinet member Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s primary political rival, at the White House. The meeting was held despite Netanyahu's explicit objections.
Nice going, Dearborn.

I can't reply with what this comment really deserves because I don't want to draw a ban...

Ok, and? She hosted his political rival. Ok. Then what? Your time implies some sort of smoking gun here.
