While most Republicans are still with Trump on Iran, beneath the outward show of unity, something more politically dangerous is beginning to emerge: a growing fear that a war sold as limited could turn into the kind of Middle East quagmire MAGA voters thought they had already rejected.

And it isn't just the usual anti-interventionist voices. It is now being voiced by Trump allies, rank-and-file House Republicans, and even senior GOP lawmakers leaving closed-door briefings sounding less reassured than rattled.

To wit - several Republican members of Congress and two GOP senators told ZeroHedge that the Iran war - or, just as importantly, its economic fallout in the form of higher gas prices - could seriously frustrate MAGA voters if it drags on.

The clearest warning came from South Carolina Rep. and gubernatorial candidate Nancy Mace, who said that during her statewide campaigns, she's received standing ovations for her opposition of U.S. boots on the ground.
