No. Every election since 2008 was Republicans scaremongering Americans into thinking that Obama was everything he is not. Where is the Tea Party? Where are all the right wing groups that emerged after 2008 that Republicans rode to win back the house and the senate? You're also forgetting that Republicans also gerrymandered the crap out of the states after 2010.

OK daft question Time.
What is the Iran Nuclear Deal and why is it a big deal that the US are pulling out.

We disagree but what's new. Obama main fault was taking too long to realize that Republicans hated his guts.
She was popular among Dem primary voters, however.
Especially in states that vote republican
With african american voters, yes.
Sadly not true in a lot of cases. Regulations that have been deregulated by an administration cannot be reimposed by the next Administration. It’s to stop a constant yo-yo style policy that would obviously make operating a company very difficult.
Unfortunately it’s a rule which helps the Republicans, particularly the libitarian crew who favour fewer regulations.
She must have been shocked to find out that Republicans get to vote in general elections too. Just as she and her supporters were shocked to find out about the existence of the electoral college.
I am not American so I don't know why Trump won but I'm old enough to know both houses have always changed hands. So saying the only reason this decision has been made is neoliberalism sounds a bit of a stretch.
Correct. That's why we need a mass movement like the one we had in the article to protect gains and demand more.
Aye and the Russian interference didn’t do her too many favours either.
He’s sniffing again.
I'm on my phone so I cant find it now but the congressional losses incurred by Democrats from 2010-2016 were well behind what models attribute to fatigue of the party in power.
Yes but it shouldn't have been close. It wouldn't have with Bernie or Biden.
Sniffing more than usual. Crushing another Obama legacy excites him.
Don't know why I've only realised this but he sounds awfully like Stephen King.
Withdrawing from the deal. Iran being sanctioned again.
Insufferable cnut
CHINA!
Why can't he say it normally?

I mean, I'm just pointing out that she won the nomination from voters, not from think-tanks. Was Bernie shocked to find out that people other than independents and young voters took part in the Democratic party primary as well?
not something you just answer in one post. Its a deal set up by USA and europe to curtail Iran from having Nukes for about 10 years. Inturn those countries will lifted economic sanctions. Trump is pulling out because honestly i really cant give you a real answer other than because Obama did it. He is trying to set up his own Nuke deal with DPRK and will have to most likely use the Iran deal as a template anyway.
The "issues" he has with the Iran deal dont make any sense and pulling out now wont fix the issues. Only make it worse. I would really suggest reading up on it or at least watch a youtube video with John Oliver exlaining it with comedic relief
I wonder what North Korea thing about this? The man just cannot be trusted.
If Trump could bring Osama Bin Laden back from the dead he would
No, Bernie never expected to win the nomination. Whereas Hillary outright campaigned on "it's her turn".
That's a big fcuking signature.
If I was the Ayatollah I'd be on the phone with Pakistan and Russia offering every penny I stole for a handful of nukes.
But what does it mean for the deal if the US pulls out, if others like Britain/France etc continue to respect the deal?
To be fair, the argument of people like Pompeo and the other policy hawks, is not that Iran isn't complying. It's that it was a terrible deal in the first place because it doesn't cover ballistic missiles and the deal was only temporary, for 25 years.
That said, it is a perfectly good deal. My personal opinion is that you can't stop a country developing a nuclear arsenal and it's always better to delay that process for as long as possible.
FfsIf Trump could bring Osama Bin Laden back from the dead he would
Replace 'mislead' with 'lie to'.
Iran will likely pull out, making their decision for them.
Idiot
Seen on twitter that he's going by the 'evidence' Netanyahu presented to him last week.
I think a deal with Russia could be mutually beneficial right now. New ME access for Russia outside Syria, and protection from the US for Iran.

That's not really a surprise is it?
All my knowledge about the Iran deal is from the recent John Oliver episode and from that it sounded it will be a collosally horrific move if he does that. Any other publication which might debate that it's a good idea or there's a general consensus that it's an awful idea?
I think it will seriously affect it but won't kill it. Will limit Iran's access to the dollar and American banks. Iran already has so contract with oil companies like Total. Those contracts will probably need to be redone and some will be abandoned.
As is I don't think there's anything wrong with pulling out of the iran deal if all the other signatories pull out as well. The government is on shaky ground with a bad economy in Iran and the public not liking money being spent in Syria. Increased sanctions might well put them over the top and force a regime change. However it looks like Europe and Russia, china might still stay and do business with them so it won't break the camel's back.
The other issue however is doing it ahead of Korea talks. What incentive does Kim jong have to give up his weapons when he sees what happened to the dictator in libya for banking on the US and now US walking back it's promises and reimposing economic sanctions on Iran?
