One-third of Republican insiders believe that Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton and his GOP colleagues — including several potential presidential candidates — crossed the line when they published an open letter to Iranian leaders warning about a possible nuclear deal.

This week’s survey of The POLITICO Caucus — a bipartisan group of key activists, operatives and thought leaders in Iowa and New Hampshire — also finds that Democratic insiders unanimously believe that Cotton & Co. behaved inappropriately.

diplomacy with a dangerous regime behind the President’s back?”

From your link, apple.. mahalo~

"Policy wise, the deal Obama is trying to cut is a bad one,” said another. “Politically speaking, however, the letter has been a disaster. The Democrats have totally framed and owned the debate, and our GOP senators are getting pummeled.”

Personally, I think the repubs have been brainwashed into thinking it was a "bad deal".. but, there's no way anyone can brainwash them into thinking the Letter was a good idea.

Thanks Cotton mouth-Traitortot.
