Thank you. So, we only need 13 Democrats plus all of the RINO votes. This vote is the only “legacy” Obama will have, as O-care is cratering. They’ll pull out the stops and apply pressure and bribes.

As reported by Israel National News, Yair Lapid, the leader of the Israel's Yesh Atid party relayed the following about his interaction with Schumer concerning a possible showdown with Obama in the event of an Iran deal;

"I sat with him less than a month ago; we spoke about this. I looked him in the eyes; he didn't say it outright, [but] I am telling you, he'll vote for the deal. All these discussions are inventions... There will be a Senate decision not to remove sanctions, there will be a presidential veto and there won't be 67 votes to override the veto."

That assessment might be accurate but four things should weigh heavily on Schumer's mind when issuing his vote. First... on the Iran issue, the Gulf States, Egypt and Israel see eye-to-eye... Second... Israel's leading opposition member, Isaac Herzog, stated unequivocally that on the issue of Iran and the JCPOA, there was no daylight between him and... Prime Minister Netanyahu... Third, Schumer will be around long after Obama is gone and will have to deal with the mess that will inevitably occur when Iran cheats... Fourth, the JCPOA which was just ratified on Monday by the UNSC is already showing ominous signs of unraveling.

And the answer is -- Upchuck Schumer is a party line hack. Thanks SJackson.

Schumer’s a toss up... he might not even know which way he’s going to go...
