House Votes to Rein In Trump on Iran War, in a Bipartisan Rebuke
A measure to direct an end to U.S. engagement in Iran was adopted with a handful of Republicans in support, sending a signal of opposition to the president’s handling of the war.
Four. It's even shorter than handful. They could simply have said 'Four Republicans'. 1.84% of republicans voted to end the war.
Bipartisan!? Nah, every democrat and FOUR republicans. This is the same bullshit they keep doing. Republican majority votes against something then takes credit for it when it’s popular. Sure, I’m glad four of them grew some semblance of a spine but to call this bipartisan is a deliberate attempt to take a deserved victory away from democrats.
This just weakens Trump's hand further. Iran will know that the longer they drag this on, the more unpopular the war becomes in the US, and the weaker Trump's negotiating position is in.
Trump will never get a deal as good as what Obama got. Obama got a 160 page deal, with details on what Iran had to follow, and UN inspections agents on the ground in Iran to verify the deal was working. Trump would be lucky to get 1/3 of the deal Obama got.
