Its simple Mitch just suspend the filibuster rule like Reid would and then invoke the nuclear option and kill the thing with 51 votes. Just like Reid would.

Yep and that’s why the pubbies always get their hat handed to them. They hate Donald Trump for street fighting and winning.

Someone needs to put that into the face of Mitch and rub a whole bunch.

Hey, Anitius,

I agree. Let’s get those cameras running and make the Dems talk about this crappy Iran Deal until they are hoarse. Some high-powered “stage-lights” might add to the “ambiance”.

Since the Dems insist on having a “debate”, let’s give it to them — in spades.

Whenever one Obama-fool wraps up his recital of WH talking points (”not perfect...after intense study...avoids war...etc”) and prepares to hand the microphone to another Democrat, have someone like Ted Cruz or some other quick-thinking Republican speak instead to deliver a short rebuttal of the prior remarks, something like:

“I refer to my esteemed college, Senator Murphy of Connecticut. He has just said that the “inspections”, which are described in this deal to keep Iran from cheating and building nuclear bombs, are “unprecedented”.

“I agree! Allowing well-documented cheaters like Iran to “self-report” that they have NOT cheated truly is unprecedented! Some would say that making such a concession to fanatics who loudly march around shouting “Death to America!” is incredibly STUPID and NAIVE, but I won’t. No, self-inspection is NOT stupid! It is INSANE! And that’s why I oppose this “deal”. I am NOT insane!

Now I yield to allow the ever-wacky Senator Boxer from Mexifornia to explain herself....”

Hardball is calling it a treaty and proceeding as such.

You’re right. That should have been done from the get go. Instead they allowed the Lawless One to define it as he wished. Just damn.

They can still do it. They have advice and consent, not just consent. They can call it a treaty regardless of what Obama says.

It would have already been done if we had any leadership. McConnell’s not worried. He just got re elected last year, the worthless old #@%&!

Trump as President IMO will by force of will and some mocking put Mitch and Boehner on a path to righteousness. LOL!

I hope he would threaten to primary them and back opposition should they continue to back-stab the country.

The GOP will never fight this seriously. “One reason is money – and the pressure from a venal world business lobby to gain access to the Iranian market.”

U.S. technology companies are already salivating because Iran has the potential to be a boom market for tech companies. The majority of the population is under 30 and well educated, and over half the country has access to the Internet.

And aircraft companies, such as Ex – Im Bank-loving Boeing, will be allowed, with certain restrictions, to apply for licenses to export civilian aircraft, so, too, could any other consumer goods manufacturing company.

European media outlets are referring to Iran as the "new El Dorado," the "chance of a century," and the "last untapped market.” We wonder how much of the blood money to be made from tapping the market of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, and the supplier of the improvised explosive devices that killed and maimed hundreds of Americans in Iraq, will flow to Senator Bob Corker and others who have betrayed America’s national security, because it seems to us that only thirty pieces of silver from some international conglomerate could cause Bob Corker to defy the plain language of his own bill.


1 Timothy 6:10 King James Version (KJV)

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
