Before i give my opening remarks and senator leahy gives his opening remarks, and my opening remarks are a little longer than normal, i would like to say that there is a vote at 10 45.

Not just about terrorism, but about our president s inability or unwillingness to rally the country, to lead our International Partners to develop a credible strategy to destroy isis, and to execute that strategy. We are now paying a price for that weakness. At almost every turn, events have proven the president wrong about isis. In august 2012, he drew a red line warning the assad regime not to use chemical weapons in syria. But the president backed down after assad gassed his own people and isis blossomed in the chaos that followed. January 2012, the president referred to isis as a jv or junior varsity. It promptly spent the next six months concurring territory across syria and iraq. In august that same day, our president conceded that he didnt have a stra

See, i believe after iowa starts voting, after february i think the field will winnow very quickly. Candidates are either going to come in first and second or fifth and sixth and the ones that are fourth, fifth, sixth will drop out. They will not be able to raise money, organization an organization, they will start dropping out. I think trump will still be stuck around 30 .
