It’s Official – Bloodthirsty Warmonger Coons, an Iran deal skeptic

I really don't get why Coons wants to build up this image as a fucking bloodthirsty warmonger. Are their really that many warmonger-y Delawareians clamoring for our delegation to be on the forefront of undermining the Obama administration's very successful diplomatic engagement with Iran? We get it Senator. You're a big swinging dick. A real tough guy. Israel über alles, and all of that. Is that what you want to hear?

Greg Sargent says that Republican shrieking over the Iran deal increase the likelihood that 2016 will be the rare elections in which foreign policy is a reasonably big deal. But he suggests that’s a debate Democrats should “lean into” rather than running scared like little cowards like they did in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's.
[T]he argument that develops around the agreement may also take shape around the virtues and risks of international engagement. And this could join other issues to feed into a broader contrast, in which Republicans are opposing international engagement on multiple fronts — including Cuba and climate change (on which we may have an accord later this year). Meanwhile, Clinton may well embrace international engagement on multiple fronts, and use this contrast to cast the GOP as too inward looking and trapped in the past to confront the challenges of the future.
