Did the Republicans finally outmaneuver Democrats, on this Iran deal?

Report – Senate Democrats have lined up enough support for Obama’s Iran deal…

…proving once again, ‘stupid is as stupid does’.

Understand, this report is about the Senate 1) voting to reject Obama’s deal, which 2) forces Obama to veto it, which then 3) forces a failed Senate override vote…

…and NONE of this has happened yet.

So all this pre-vote posturing is…posturing – presumably to see if the GOP will blink.

Given the Obama-Iran deal exposed weaknesses, everything possible should be done to neutralize it (and, last resort, individual states can enforce sanctions).

But if GOP Senators have any courage left there’s one position they must take…

Force the Democrats’ hand: 10 of their senators are up for re-election in 2016 (several plan to retire, among them Mikulski, who just gave the Iran deal support).

Make them stand with Obama, and try justifying their vote to cave to Iran. America’s national security is at stake…this is one issue the GOP can’t ignore, or avoid.

And there’s little reason for them not to fight hard against this deal. Swing states strongly oppose the Iran deal…those states are critical in national elections. Yes, Americans see this as a bad deal…and, thus, a critical issue for 2016 elections.

Man up, Republicans. Your much-derided Corker bill may yet prove a winner.

Reject Obama’s Iran deal…send that rejection to Obama, force him to veto it…then make Democrats support Obama’s veto when the Senate votes to override it. You get two opportunities to expose Democrats for the nat’l security failures they are.

And watch the fallout when the 2016 pre-election political games play out.

Call the Democrats’ bluff – let’s see how many really think a nuclear Iran is okay…

…just months before a national election.
