He describes how he would have handled it: get our prisoners released years ago (by explaining to them it's in their best interest, and if they don't agree, walk, and double or triple the sanctions until they return prisoners), on the front end, THEN when the Iranians want to go back to the table, go there and tell them, sorry, but we don't have any money to give you. We're already 20 trillion in debt. We can't and won't give you a cent.
My point: Trump says he'll talk, he's glad to, with the Dems. Negotiate with them. Make deals to make things happen. But I think that HE is thinking deals along the line of how he'd handle IRAN. People shouldn't assume that Trump---like all the previous Republicans---will CAVE immediately when he meets with Dems. If anything, he's showing respect for the Founders' concept and plan for separation of powers and balance, that the Commander and Chief can't operate like Obama---by fiat. BUT...but...Trump will make "deals" that accomplish his promises: make America great again; rebuild the military; build a wall and make Mexico pay for it; tear up all trade agreements; repeal Obamacare; etc etc.
Agree! Many of them are up for re-election, so they probably asked to meet with him!
