If the Democrats are not able garnish enough votes to prevent a veto override, on the Iran deal,

[still_one]

I believe that the Democratic party will implode, and regardless who wins the Presidential election, the Democrats will lose the majority in the Senate, and thus both houses will be controlled by the republicans, and we can kiss the SC and other judicial appointments goodbye

This is an Iraq redux all over again, and the most astounding thing is the ignorance or political games that is being played in the Senate by many of the usual suspects

1. it's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[daleanime]

7. +1

[PoliticAverse]

2. Note that Pelosi says she has the votes to sustain a veto in the House. n/t

4. Good, I hope so. I won't produce the links, but Huffington Post sure is implying it is a flip of a

coin

[restorefreedom]

5. huffpo is becoming increasingly conservative

and untrustworthy imo

14. That's only because they want readers on the edge of their chairs to click their links.

8. If he doesn't have the votes in the Senate where does the

House come into play

[PoliticAverse]

10. Has to be overriden in both the House and the Senate. n/t

3. I can't see the basis for your prediction. Would you please explain?

We already lost the Senate in 2014. I just am not following you line of thought here.

6. All the prognosticators are saying because of the number of incumbents up for re-election the

Democrats have a good chance to retake back the Senate.

I probably messed up my thought process in the OP, but that is what I meant.

11. Not if they go against Obama like most did in 2014

The bottom line is if the Senate democrats don't give the President the veto power on this deal and the republicans start there war talk the African American community will not vote for anyone who voted.against this deal.AL Sharpton in fact next week will be telling all his listeners on radio to call there Senators and Congressmen to support this deal.Melendez is already history in NJ. One because of his indictment and the fact he comes from my state which is pretty blue.I think the Feds most likely got the goods on him he's been under investigation for quite some time.

13. I agree. Hopefully this is just unnecessary concern on my part

9. Hate to mention this

but Democrats lost their majority in the Senate in 2014. Both Houses are controlled by Republicans.

15. Forget it, he's rolling

[stevenleser]

20. You beat me to it. nt

[6chars]

12. i haven't seen any serious prediction this will happen

the house has votes to sustain the veto, and almost surely the senate too.

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. The democrats already are the minority in the Senate

Just a point of order here.

[Hoppy]

17. ... And by the way, Fuck Shumer!

[PSPS]

18. Will never happen.

It will be impossible to override a veto. Furthermore, your prediction about the future of the Senate is wrong. The GOP has, at most, three more years of a Senate majority, and perhaps only one year. The GOP won't be winning any elections outside the House with its gerrymandered districts. Their base is becoming too small.

[davidn3600]

21. Yeah...I heard this same thing back in 2008...."The GOP is dying out"

Yet right now they hold more seats in Congress than anytime since after WWII.

Maybe we need to stop believing that fairy tale because it's making our party lazy. You really want to just wait 20 years and hope that the demographics favor us?

I'd love to know what numbers your crystal ball has for the lottery....

19. What kind of garnish would you recommend? Parsley is always nice.

I think you might mean garner.
