Why Won’t Democrats Represent Majority of Americans Who Oppose Iran Deal? Daniel Greenfield

Even black voters, Obama’s most enthusiastic base, split on the deal 39 to 38 percent.
Obama’s case for the Iran deal has gotten tangled up in his own lies. He’s claiming that the Iran deal will give Iran near zero breakout time to the bomb and that it will “permanently” stop it from developing a bomb. He claims that the deal is rigorous and yet we’ve learned that Iran will be doing at least some self-inspections.
The poll numbers for the deal keep getting worse. Some Democrats have done the responsible thing by coming out against the deal.
Obama’s associates have tried to portray opponents as Republicans, Iraq War supporters and chickenhawks, but as Senator Webb, a member of his own party, a Vietnam vet who was against the Iraq War, said, “I think it’s a bad deal and I’ve said so for several weeks now. I think we need to put country ahead of party.”
But Democrats refuse to do that. Instead they’re putting Obama over party. They’re even putting Obama over their own constituents, as Nadler did, betraying his voters who have made it very clear that they oppose the deal.
Senator Gillibrand chose to back the deal from the start even though a majority of New Yorkers oppose the deal. Why does Senator Gillibrand refuse to represent her own voters?
As do vast majorities of Americans.
Voters oppose 55 – 25 percent the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran. 56 to 28 percent say it will make the world less safe.
Even black voters, Obama’s most enthusiastic base, split on the deal 39 to 38 percent.
The issue is settled. Americans oppose the deal. If Democrats don’t want to put country over Obama, they should put their own constituents over Obama. Without that, we have neither democracy nor patriotism, just loyalty to Obama.
And Democrats like Nadler and Gillibrand will pay a price for selling out their constituents to Iran and Obama.
