GOLDMACHER: “What is striking and connects everything, everyone has said so far is that he didn't sell this in advance, right? This was a surprise strike. It wasn't just a surprise for Iran. Even if there was a military buildup, there wasn't a public relations build up. And so, what you saw yesterday as he's going down to visit with House Republicans is a post facto sales job of this military action, not even using the word war. And when you don't sell something in advance, you don't build public support. You see the weaknesses in your argument, and you strengthen them by testing it in public. And he just absolutely did not do that in the run up here.”
