Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said this morning that President Obama will win the "short-term battle" because Congress will not be able to block the Iran nuclear deal.
But he said Republicans, and the Democrats who oppose the president, have "won the argument with the American people."
"There is overwhelming opposition to the deal. The Israelis oppose the deal. Our Sunni Arab allies are nervous and apprehensive now, feeling they can't trust us anymore," he told Bill Hemmer.
McConnell said he believes the issue has a "long shelf life" and that the debate will continue until Americans "render judgment" on Election Day 2016.
McConnell said Senate Democrats have used a "procedural device" to prevent a motion of disapproval, which would then be vetoed by Obama.
House Speaker John Boehner is considering a lawsuit to stop the deal, while Sen. Ted Cruz has proposed going after U.S. banks that release money to the Iranians.
McConnell said he will explore any proposal by his fellow Republicans.

“The fact that he is still in his job tells you everything you need to know about the Republican VOTER.”
Fixed it fer ya.
So true. He's even more dispiriting than Obola, and I didn't think it was possible.
Just ask all the freepers that shared them.
BS
It is official.
McConnell is truly stupid and unfit for office.
He should have his car keys taken away and put under hospice.
Come November 2016 We The People get our turn.
It’s hard to imagine two more incompetent guys leading the Senate and the House.
We really struck a gold mine with these two.
How do we get that message to the Turtle Face so he knows what the country thinks of him and his duplicity?
See, they chose to lose so they could use this as an election issue. That was the real purpose of the Corker bill.
I despise these dirtbags losers.
Barack’s _itch McConnell taking applause for freaking losing. Unreal.
Hey McConnell you moron - it’s.a.TREATY
Oh goody!!! I am sure I can protect my children with Mitch’s “winning” argument.
Man, are we ever gonna have a cushy retirement........
McTurdle just another rock from the box of rocks called inside the beltway. They have all joined the anti-American Marxist Muslim in the White Mosque.
Nothing is going to change until they are all gone and we elect some real Americans, neither Republican or Democrat. AMERICAN. because I don’t see many of them inside the beltway.
Might even be a good idea to move the center of government to a Midwest sate and fumigate the swamp called Washington DC.
And by the way due to the existing government that DC stands for District of Corruption.
Yes, Kentucky put McConnell back in the senate, but the idiot GOP senators put him back in the leadership roll. The fact that they put him back in the leadership roll just shows that the GOP does not want to fight Obama (or the Dems) and in fact seem to relish in the “surrender - then play fight” roll they have carved out for themselves!
McConnel couldn’t be more wrong. Losing the battle is losing the argument.
Hope all the “conservatives” who voted for or urged voting for McConnell are happy with themselves.
You knew what he was so this is just as much on you.
