Rouhani says Iran to sell oil, break U.S. sanctions: TV https://t.co/pt77yCEKfZ

This midterm is not about policies. It would be pretty to think so, but it's not.
This is about voting down the line against Republicans who have abdicated their constitutional duty. It's about saving our system by voting for divided government.https://t.co/wp3EzB26JN— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) November 4, 2018
