That's a fine position when 75% of the AARP member base isn't voting for you. But like Bush when he stupidly tried to privatize Medicare, hell hath no fury like an elderly voting bloc. This is why Trump is trying to say "It's up to the Governors!"

In this instance, it's not great since that this looks like the Iran-Contra Scandal. And for most Americans "Gun Sales to a Nation of Arabs" is as far as they'll investigate.
Felt like a sure thing last time though didn't it
