“Iran hasn’t signed it.”

Correct as far as I know, but today the sanctions were removed:
from Drudge Report:

VIENNA — Just hours after Tehran and Washington swapped long-held prisoners, the United States and European nations lifted oil and financial sanctions on Iran and released roughly $100 billion of its assets, after international inspectors concluded the country had followed through on its promises to dismantle large sections of its nuclear program.

$100 billion to the largest terrorist nation on earth.

Of course, Iran is allowed by the unsigned agreement to police its own nuclear development. Such a great deal. Even Cruz doesn’t like that, he says. But he voted for the bill.

But he voted for the bill.

He voted for a procedural rule that 98 other Senators voted for. I think he was wrong and should have stood up to it.

The vote is meaningless anyway because Obama is putting the treaty into effect not only without Congressional Approval but without even getting a signature on the agreement from Iran.

So the Corker Amendment means nothing anyway. Obama didn't need no stinking Corker Amendment. He has a pen and a phone.

Now tell me why Trump is going to be the best President ever. Where is his track record on Conservative issues?

Has any other candidate in this race contributed to Hillary Clinton's presidential or senate campaigns?

How can you trust Trump?

If you were sitting on the other side of the table in a billion dollar real estate transaction, would you take him at his word on anything?
