Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz joined together yesterday with conservative voters, Tea Party Patriots, and Israel advocates for a huge rally in Washington, DC.
Their message to Obama – NO WAY on the Iran Deal!
Speakers at the rally savaged the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran, calling it an incompetently negotiated deal that will cost “countless” American and Israeli lives and should be discarded by the next president. Critics say that the accord, which has lax inspection guidelines, could actually help Iran get a nuclear weapon more quickly.
“We are led by very, very stupid people,” Trump, the GOP front-runner weighed in, at a midday rally on Capitol Hill. He called the deal “incompetent” and poised to fail in the fight against Islamic militants. “We will have so much winning if I get elected, that you may get bored with winning.”
Cruz, who invited Trump to the event, said supporters of the deal will have blood on their hands.
“You cannot wash your hands of that,” he said, naming House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, both Republicans, as two men who could stand in the way of the deal. “Any commander-in-chief worthy of defending this nation should be prepared to stand up on Jan. 20, 2017 and rip to shreds this catastrophic deal.”
The pairing at Wednesday’s rally is the product of what Trump acknowledged beforehand as “a little bit of a romance” at this early stage of the 2016 presidential race. In fact, Trump and Cruz are competing for many of the same anti-establishment, core Republican activists.
The two spoke as Congress debated the deal, which is designed to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Republicans and Israel say Iran can’t be trusted because its leaders want to annihilate the Jewish state.
Some protesters carried Israeli flags, but more carried American flags. A few carried posters that said, “Jewish lives matter.”

What kind of imbeciles would call a deal with Iran a deal.
brain dead mentally ill democrats, that’s who. and muzzie/communist traitors, Kerry!
“It is the Luck of the Idiot,stupid!” This saying suits perfectly with Don Trumph, without having any Political Experioence in making Peace or negotiations, He still thinks he can be a valuable President. He has not yet realized that ,”you are fired”, does not hold any water in World Politics. To make a negotiating peaceful settlement he cannot and would not learn. When buffoons, like him gets too much money passed on from his grand- parents, who were searching for Gold in Alaska, to opening a motel there. His dad started buying properties in Jersey city then in New York! All ended up in the hands of this Big-Mouth creature,who often opens his mouth .brfore even thinking what he wants to say. This technique sank Ben Carter;s rating and lift up poor sense of Business lady,Fiorina,who sank Compaq and now sinking HP. Why cannot people think of a hard working,smart honest candidate like Rand Paul?
Trump will win and clean out the infested white house…..period. If you like what is going on there, you have to a muslim, athiest, or on obama/osama payroll.
Democrat operatives referred to the Iran deal as part of the Obama legacy. That’s fine with me. What better way to remember President Obama than a bad deal which revealed his administration’s gullibility, weakness and general incompetence.
I agree that the Iran deal should be scrapped, along with the Obama executive orders, on the first day of the next president’s term. The Obama legacy is one of a weak America run by an incompetent and corrupt president.
