Thomas Massie names the "calmer heads that could prevail" in the Trump admin: Vance, Gabbard, RFK Jr

Massie: "There are still voices in this administration -- you've still got JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr -- you've still got calmer heads that could prevail."

without being inside the Trump tent, she fades into obscurity. She knows that. She isn't going to ruin that, no matter how many pirouettes she has to do on her supposed "principles".

They're more concerned about their jobs than they are about doing the right thing.
The bridge too far for them is to stop getting invitations to CPAC and Faux News. The horrors of not having celebrity News Readers say their names!
Iran? Most of the "calmer heads" in this mis-administration couldn't to find it on a map specifically focused on Central Asia unless you circled it in red, and even then, they might mistake one of the nearby 'Stans for it.

...that Iran is just weeks away from having a nuclear weapon.
That type of supporting dear leader isn't demonstrating a "calmer head".

Just lunatics. Vance is completely untrustworthy. Gabbard is compromised. RFK JR has nothing to do with this.
