Notion next prez can't pull U.S. out of #IranDeal simply cuz predecessor negotiated-or others might oppose move-ineffective arguments on own
@ThePlumLineGS What if Iran cheats & Obama demands snap back sanctions & other Powers won't join? U.S. should be constrained by others?

@DavidMDrucker Sure, the consequences should be gamed out in multiple ways. But the GOP candidates aren't seriously doing that. -
@ThePlumLineGS Disagree based on multiple interviews, etc. I'm hardly saying their arguments are bulletproof. But they are serous -
@DavidMDrucker Calling it "Obama's" deal is inherently unserious. -
@ThePlumLineGS Disagree. Its politics but not unserious. -
@DavidMDrucker It is fundamentally an effort to dodge grappling with what pulling out of the deal would mean to allies. -
@DavidMDrucker Calling it "Obama's" deal airbrushes out of the picture the fact that it was negoiated by multiple world powers. -
@ThePlumLineGS The political point he's making is that the deal does not have Congress' imprimatur and lacks broad support. - 1 more reply

@DavidMDrucker@ThePlumLineGS That undermines any future administration's ability to negotiate. No reason to trust US. -
@JonAshDaniels@ThePlumLineGS Obama canceled agreements & policy made by predecessor. So this argument doesn't wash. -
@DavidMDrucker@ThePlumLineGS I don't remember what you are referring to exactly on the canceled agreements component. -
@JonAshDaniels@ThePlumLineGS GWB negotiated placement of middle defense installations in Poland & Czech Republic. BO cancelled.

@DavidMDrucker@ThePlumLineGS Additionally, Iran cheating obviously undermines good faith. If US backs out due to new president... -
@JonAshDaniels@ThePlumLineGS You assume Powers will choose to acknowledge "obvious cheating" for what it is. History suggests otherwise

@DavidMDrucker Point is there's a reason Rubio is dumbing down the issue: Acknowledging complexity makes vow to pull out harder to explainThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
