        With Manchin and Sinema there you can’t say that they’ve had majority in the senate at least…

        Holding Congress doesn’t mean much unfortunately, when you can’t sign a treaty because one party opposes on a party line.

        Also, the Iranians simply won’t negotiate when the next guy might reinstate sanctions. The last guy screwed us.

          I mean we have held this sanction against Iran for 40 years, Trump left the nuclear deal and we are trying to rejoin it. These newest sanctions make sense in the context of uprisings in Iran, and the nuclear deal.
