Ransom to Iran

Not only did President Obama negotiate a terrible "Nuclear Deal" with Iran, he had to sweeten the pot with $400 million.  Oh, and it is only a coincidence, pure chance, that Iran released 4 American prisoners when the pallets of cash arrived.  Reagan was a terrible president because he "traded arms for hostages" in the Iran-Contra Affair.  Obama traded 5 high-ranking Gitmo prisoners for one AWOL soldier who is currently awaiting court martial on a variety of charges.  Now he is paying the number one sponsor of terrorism (according to his State Department) $1.7 billion for...  nothing.  Iran has already broken the 'deal.'  Ergo, the money is either being flushed down the drain or it was paid as a ransom.
 
The current Republican Congress allowed this travesty to happen.  They let the Iran Deal skate so that big time donors (like Boeing) could do business with Iran.  The treaty ratification process was turned on its head to allow this disaster that only gets worse as more news comes to light.
 
With leaders like these, is it any wonder that the voters were unwilling to vote for any of the establishment politicians?  The DNC managed to stave off Bernie's insurgency by scheduling virtually no debates and getting their media allies to either not cover him or paint him negatively.  The RNC demonstrated its comparative incompetence since Trump won the nomination.
 
A Hillary Clinton presidency promises more of the same.  If this is okay, vote Hillary.
