Is Jeb 'caving' on Iran? Scott Walker stokes Republican friction over whether to unravel nuke deal on 'day one' in 2017 or let it simmer.

Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, the two calmest legs of the Republican Party's leading presidential triumvirate, are turning Iran into a vicious political primary footbal. The Wisconsin governor, Walker, is seizing on Bush's calm and unexcited approach to a nuclear deal reached last week by the Obama administration.

He has pledged to invalidate the bargain on the first day of his presidency. The former Florida governor with the more famous political surname has said a more resonsible approach would be to first asemble a cabinet and consult with U.S. allies.

During his July 13 campaign launch speech, Walker said he would 'terminate the bad deal with Iran on the very first day in office, put in place crippling sanctions and convince our allies to do the same.'

Four days later, after a national poll put the two close together near the top of the GOP field nationally – with only the pesky Donald Trump as a fly in the ointment – Bush threw cold water on Walker's eagerness.

'One thing that I won’t do,' he told voters during a town hall event in Carson City, Nevada, 'is just say, as a candidate, "I'm going to tear up the agreement on the first day".'

Proof of a ‘clear violation’ will begin with a BOOM, and a mushroom cloud.

Sadly, you are probably right.

What are these people thinking???

Scott “Mitt” Walker has zero chance of winning the general election agains’t Hillary. So if he gets the nomination which I highly doubt you better start practicing saying President Clinton.

I think the question is can the nuke deal be nixed? If so, how? Power of the purse in the HoR or the nuclear option in the senate?
