you voted for him onced So that makes me a lifelong Obama fan? I voted for Clinton, too, but I've been pretty clear, I think, that it was not a vote for Clinton but one against Trump. Just like a lot of people didn't vote for Trump but against Clinton. I've not really argued it makes it more likely because I believe Israel will not allow it In which case it wouldn't matter whether we were still in JCPA or not. I know both of us want off of this subject My whole point in this colloquy has been about reasoned decision making on behalf of the country. It hasn't been pro or anti Obama. Or pro or anti JCPA. Not even pro or anti Iran. It's about how Presidential decisions are made and communicated. There is a long-established model backed by solid infrastructure designed to produce careful, reasoned Presidential decisions. But that has been trumped by Trump. Instinctive decisions in any arena can and typically are rationalized after the fact but even that nicety seems to have fallen away here. Apparently, his supporters don't expect it and his party either can't rationalize them or just doesn't bother. Clearly your support is primarily faith based. I see cultural if not human devolution in all that. I find it sad and worrisome.
