Bush-Walker Dispute Catches Fire Over Iran Nuclear Deal
Weekly Standard ^ | 7/20/15 | Stephen F Hayes

Posted on 07/20/2015 8:49:08 AM PDT by jimbo123

A smoldering policy dispute over the Iran deal between two frontrunners for the Republican nomination caught fire over the weekend, as the campaigns of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and former Florida governor Jeb Bush traded accusations of bad faith and the candidates themselves engaged in a pointed back-and-forth about how a newly elected president should handle the deal.

-snip-

The following day, Michael Doran, a former National Security Council official and a well-regarded scholar at the Hudson Institute who has been briefing Walker and is close to his team, tweeted a link to a Politico article about Bush’s comments and wrote: “Jeb Bush is caving on Iran already – won’t commit to rolling back Obama’s Iran deal.”

"Jeb Bush is caving on Iran already -- won't commit to rolling back Obama's Iran deal."
That's true -- but remember, he won't commit to not flip-flopping on the issue. Or any other.

Glad to see Walker taking on Bush. Steve Hayes is my most trusted reporter. He does good work.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Cruz had no comment, he was busy selling books.

Let’s see next Summer who gets the last laugh. Cruz is putting people in each of the 99 counties in Iowa while Scott thinks talking about Kohl’s coupons and ridin’ a hog are gonna get it done. As I said, I’ve been on the ground there and I know which one works. Wait and see.

Smoldering? Sure... Smoldering smoke and mirrors. I wonder what Walker’s sons think about it. If they’re for it than this is just a “generational” difference. Does his wife have any cousins who are mullahs? As for Bush, at least he’s in some way better than Hillary Clinton. I’m not sure how. Oh, I know, maybe he’s just lying about all this to get elected and he’ll be more conservative once in office.

Is it even possible to ‘roll back’ the Iran deal?

By Jan 2017 it seems like it would be too late, even if it could be.

Hence the reason we sent all those ‘conservative’ Republicans to Congress- so things like THIS wouldn’t happen.

Walker has promised to ‘terminate’ the Iran deal on day one of his presidency.

Cruz needs to do more in Iowa then Walker. Cruz is a first term Senator with 3 years of experience and nothing really passed by him. Walker is an accomplished two term Governor who is well known. I can understand your concern with Cruz needing to run all over Iowa. The biggest shame is he really should be at work instead of traipsing across the country and selling books. I wish it was illegal to run for office while you are sitting in a seat. Cruz is getting paid for doing nothing. Talk about getting welfare.

Ummm, wouldn't that also apply to your candidate? Isn't Scott being paid to be governor?

Which means the U.S. would be alone in the world applying sanctions. How will that keep Iran from doing anything?

And will he do it before or after he begins bombing?

I’d have him resign too.....they all should. However, Scott at least waited to announce until his Governor budget was done for the year.

So is Walker. Will he have to be drug tested before getting his check too?

I said I’d want Walker to resign as well. They all should if they want the job. For sure they shouldn’t be getting paid while they are traveling all over the country.

Yeah, your boy is righteous and Cruz is on “welfare” or something. I got it. You do know that Cruz in the debates is probably going to cream your guy, along with John Ellis, Huckleberry, Sweater Vest, Linda, Krispy Kreme and the rest, right? If Hillary wins the nod and Ted gets ours, what do you think the chances are that she’ll even debate him? LOL
