Why Do the Republicans Keep Sending Out Their Players Unprepared?

I expect the Democrats to rail and scream distortions to outright lies, but Republicans be prepared to challenge them. Trump had made it clear for days and in his post that he was threatening infrastructure. The media responded with misleading claims that attacking infrastructure is a war crime. No. The Geneva Convention outlaws purposefully destroying civilian infrastructure. Hospitals, schools, etc. Infrastructure used for military purposes is fair game. Simple. Stationing civilians around any infrastructure, however, is a warcrime. Please scream about that.
Trump's bluster that a whole civilization will be wiped out was just that: bluster. Anyone with a map and population statistics - about 90 million Iranians minus the tens of thousands that the Iranian government just murdered - could easily see that we couldn't wipe out the entire Iranian civilization. Nor would the military comply if ordered to. They are familiar with the Geneva Convention, which, sadly, many Americans are not.
I get it. Trump's roller coaster can be exhausting, and, granted it is complicated, but Republicans need to grab every teaching moment.
