Scott Walker made sure he was the first of all the candidates to condemn the Iran nuclear deal in front of a bunch of Harley riders in Las Vegas the day the Iranian deal was announced.
“I will terminate that deal. I will put in place crippling economic sanctions on Iran, and I will convince our allies to do the same.” http://goo.gl/DCje1z
Well, it didn't take long before that caught the ear of Charlie P. Pierce:
Now that he's running for president, Scott Walker, the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to manage their midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin, is doing his damndest to keep up with public affairs. (Maybe he's browsing the Bargain Books kiosk at Kohl's. Who can say?) Anyway, as he passed by a newsstand today, apparently, he saw on the front page that there was this agreement made with Iran. The man needed an opinion...stat! He quickly dove into the collected works of one of his most trusted advisors, Professor Otto Yerass.
WALKER: As president, on my very first day going forward, I would pull back, I would terminate that bad deal with Iran completely on day one. I would then put in place crippling economic sanctions against Iran, and I'd convince our allies to do the same. This is not a country we should be doing business with.
Yo, dipstick. The reason we were in these talks at all was because "our allies" specifically wanted us to be in them. (His ability to overpower regiments of angry assistant principals is not going to impress Angela Merkel.)
