How the 2016 Presidential Candidates Are Reacting to the Iran Deal

[brooklynite]

Sen. Lindsey Graham was the first to weigh in after President Obama announced the agreement Tuesday morning, telling Bloomberg the deal was "akin to declaring war on Israel and the Sunni Arabs." In an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Graham called the deal "the most dangerous, irresponsible step I have ever seen in the history of watching the Mideast." Graham also added that Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, could negotiate a better deal than President Obama.

Sen. Marco Rubio warned in a statement that the deal "undermines our national security" and criticized Obama for negotiating "from a position of weakness."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who officially kicked off his campaign on Monday and made rejecting a deal with Iran part of his announcement speech, said the deal "will be remembered as one of America's worst diplomatic failures." Walker called on congressional leaders and presidential candidates alike to reject it.

Mike Huckabee took to Twitter to express his disapproval, saying that he would not rule out using military force in the region if he were in the Oval Office.

1. Well, what did we expect?

The GOPers don't want a deal; that wrecks their plans for war.

2. These people are just not going to be happy unless they can cause

death and destruction. I am hoping the American voters will say they are tired of all that (and the paying for it) and not vote Republican. They are the real enemy of America.

3. Scott Walker: "I don't know. Asky my policy people."

[Jack Rabbit]

5. Translation: "Let me check with Dave and Charlie first"

!!

4. Nothing but Arrogance & Hostility from Them...

...it would be more understandable if we were dealing with Stalin, but we're not.

6. Chicken hawk, cowards all. Will send our kids to fight their wars. They are despicable.

[Fritz Walter]

15. Until they do these things...

+ Enlist themselves, their spouses, their children and grandchildren in the US Armed Forces,
+ Put on the uniform
+ Pick up a weapon
+ Man a post in a combat area

They can shut the fuck up!

8. "the most dangerous, irresponsible step I have ever seen in the history of watching the Mideast"

Other than all the danger, irresponsible steps that took place over the last 60 years via coups, invasion, embargoes, etc. all orchestrated by the US.


Yeah...other than those....

12. Repukes can say incredibly stupid shit like that ...

... because the people who vote for them are even more stupid.

9. Republicans are again miscalculating the electorate (good!)

The public's mood is anti-war and pro-negotiations.

PBO already refuted all their points in his video message. Repukes are going to look silly (I mean sillier) except to the angry, bigoted, hyperreligious, rural white males =20% of the electorate.

Good that they keep fucking themselves and alienating the electorate.

10. Jeb Bush had some trouble commenting because the agreeement

had too many "big syllable words" for him to understand. By his own admission this is problematic. Remember, this is the "smart" Bush.

11. What Sunni Arabs is Graham concerned about? ISIS? Al Qaeda?

Or is it that he sees the Saudis as Israel's bestest friends ever and doesn't want to do anything to upset them?

That boy seriously has a screw loose.

13. Lindsey is such a kidder.

Hell, he knows we declared war on the Sunni arabs the day we invaded Iraq the 2nd time. We've done nothing but push the Shiites (who are totally aligned with Iran to begin with, some even moving from Iran to Iraq to lead) into power and screw over the Sunnis there. We want to make sure both sides have at least some power so we can sell even more munitions, planes, etc. That's the only thing this government cares about, $$$$$$$ for the $$$$ class.

14. That's the gop .. any word on how the Dem candidates are reacting yet?
