I will support a bad deal to end this war. Because we need to cut Trump’s hemorrhaging losses now. But the supposed deal on the table pays Iran $100 billion to open the Strait. And no concessions...

You need to listen to this story. A 15 year old Connecticut high school student won the Department of Education's civics contest. But he was denied a place on the podium. And the question is why ...
