McConnell: Obama probably going to win on Iran deal

Of course:

THE HILL – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is acknowledging that he has few options to block the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran.

President Obama has “a great likelihood of success” in an upcoming congressional faceoff on the deal, the Kentucky Republican said on Monday, according to reports.

“He can win by getting one-third plus one of either house,” McConnell told a local chamber of commerce, The Associated Press reported.
The comments appear to signal Republican leaders’ reluctant recognition that the math required to override a potential veto of legislation to kill the deal remains slightly out of their grasp.

Though not a single Republican has yet been willing to support the agreement, an overwhelming majority of Democrats have lined up to support the deal.

McConnell knows he gave up the power to to approve the deal. It’s much easier to approve than disapprove and he played right into Obama’s hands on this. So yeah, Obama had a ‘great likelihood of success’ several months ago when McConnell willingly gave up his power.

What a joke.
