Thus ends a breathtaking performance of Republican failure theater. Once upon a time, knowing that your party controlled both chambers of Congress would have given you great comfort that a terrible treaty negotiated with a terrorist power could never become law in the United States.
I think this makes it official: I’m on the Trump bandwagon. Hail Caesar.
What’d the GOP get out of all this? What did their huge advantage in the House and their eight-seat majority in the Senate ultimately amount to in terms of concessions? It’s one thing to lose a momentous fight on foreign policy, ceding all of your constitutional leverage in the process, but if you can get some goodies for your side at least you can say it’s not a total loss. Unless I missed something, we got … nothing.
Not a thing — not even, in all likelihood, the right to crow and say that our resolution of disapproval passed the Senate with plenty of Democratic support. This fiasco will end with an essentially party-line vote on cloture, leaving Obama free to argue to the world that the deal has the acquiescence of the U.S.
here’s Dick Cheney wondering why Republicans ever agreed to treat this deal as something less than a treaty in the first place. Oh, by the way: Iran’s hardliners, the same people whom Barack Obama thinks are making “common cause” with Republicans, want you to know that nothing about this agreement has changed their conviction that the United States is indeed “the Great Satan” and that, if anything, they should go ahead and expand the reach of their ballistic missiles because of that.

Yeah, blame Bush
“..Yeah, blame Bush..”
No blame. Just stating comparative facts. And in many ways, just like his brother. Review the history of what he prevented the border patrol from doing to stop illegals from crossing the border.
I wish all of the ignorant democrats (blacks, whites & mexicolon) who voted for obama would find out that they voted for a full fledged robe wearing muslim who, with bastard kerrys’ help - -is going to get us all killed with this damn ‘deal’ with Iran!!
All that’s important to a liberal is that he “gets a win”...liberals love to destroy and tear down those around them when they don’t get there way, or, when they get there way and see where it leads...in essence, unrepentant children.
Yikes!...each “there” should be “their”...sorry...
