Ok, yeah. This is playing out just like was predicted on talk radio.

The hostages were kept by Iran... just for this purpose. So they could be released at the appropriate time to get support for the deal from “Conservatives in Washington DC”

The equivalent of “Hey Obama, we’re not going to let you rape us unless you put a condom on first!”

(This was the plan all along.
That’s why they didn’t demand the hostages from the beginning.

Now when McBoner demands the hostage release and they are releases McBoner is a hero and the Iran agreement is now dead as an issue.)

OMG, that was exactly my thought too! And it is not just a conspiracy theory. Think about it. The Iranians win so much out of that deal economically, that letting the hostages go in return is nothing to them. All Obama had to do was to ask for the hostages as part of the deal, and they would have done it. He didn’t.
The GOPe now can “win” the hostages and act like Rambo, meanwhile Iran and Obama, and the GOPe can celebrate behind the scene the gullibility of the American public.

The bunch of “Roger F*edbythenavel”s could care less what the people want or think. The people are useful only for voting and doing what they are told.
