Former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) laid into President Donald Trump's administration on MS NOW as they head into final negotiations for a deal to end the Iran war, faulting them for not understanding the most basic things about the enemy they attacked and then capitulated to.

"I wonder if the military brass and the intelligence community laid it on the line to the President before he made a decision to go," said Kasich, a frequent critic of the administration who endorsed former President Joe Biden.
