Megathread: Congressional Vote on the Iran Deal

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Massie, Amash, Duncan and Jones are still decent GOP possibilities for support of the deal, I'd think, given previous votes and statements.

I think Rep. Walter Jones is a possibility, but I think he might vote no, since he has another tough primary challenge coming up.

He is one who can be fairly counted on to follow his conscience when it comes to issues of war and peace.

Former Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) supports the deal

Thank God, Murdock primaried that guy.

no, Lugar would support it even if he were still a Senator.

The info coming out on these side deals regarding Iranian self-inspection may make the vote even on sustaining the veto uncomfortably close.

There's a fair deal of controversy there with the original AP article.

Interesting, and a relief to hear that it isn't what it's made out to be.  Still there will be commercials and politicians citing the AP.

Well, at this point, Manchin is leaning yes, which gets us to 35. The 9 undecided Democrats are Bennet, Blumenthal, Booker, Cantwell, Cardin, Heitkamp, Peters, Warner, and Wyden. Obama only needs Manchin plus six of those to filibuster. Who are the three most likely of those to vote no? Booker, Wyden, and Heitkamp?

Cardin would be one of the more likely No votes.

Amash is a no.  He doesn't consider the deal constitutionally valid.
