Ted Cruz AND Sarah Palin will be on hand!
Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, and
Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson will all be on hand for a pro-war, anti-Iran deal rally to be held at the Capitol Wednesday afternoon. As in, the day after it became clear that Senate Democrats not only have the votes to uphold a veto of a congressional resolution against the deal, they most likely have
the votes to block it to begin with.
Never mind all that, the rally's organizers are super optimistic about its likely impact. (Warning: Don't click through that link unless you want to spend 10 minutes dealing with obnoxious ads.)
“The broad spectrum of national leaders to speak at the rally underlines the momentum behind the movement to stop President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran,” say Jenny Beth Martin, CEO of the Tea Party Patriots, the primary organizer for the rally, along with the Center for Security Policy and the Zionist Organization of America.
"Broad spectrum of national leaders" = three reality television stars, one of whom is a current Republican presidential candidate and one of whom is a former Republican vice presidential nominee; far-right media personalities Glenn Beck and Mark Levin; and a couple of long-shot Republican presidential candidates (Jim Gilmore joins with Ted Cruz in that contingent).
"The momentum behind the movement to stop President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran" = a few weeks ago it looked like Republicans could maybe stop the deal, but now it's clear they can't.
Way to flex your muscle, guys. But I bet it'll be great for fundraising for all concerned, and that's really the point, after all.
