Trump has now destroyed the most constructive diplomatic effort of the United States in decades — and almost any Republican president would have done the same.

I respectfully disagree. I think Graham or Cruz, but not Bush or Marco (too low energy and too small for the moment of course)

It’s possible though I doubt it, especially re Bolton-cheering Rubio. The important question, though, isn’t whether a Republican president would have bucked their party, media, and base to save the deal; it’s why the Republican party was so staunchly anti-deal in the first place.

A President Rubio would have wrecked the deal in his first six months. He was the most programmatically pro-war of the major candidates and was Adelson's muppet. Maldito sea ese mocoso de mierda.

But I do wonder about Jeb or Kasich–probably, I think, but perhaps a softer exit.
