Kerry does not understand the opposition to his deal

Guardian:
John Kerry warns Congress: back Iran nuclear deal or face dire consequences

The secretary of state said US rejection of deal would tarnish country’s future negotiating credibility and push Iran closer to developing an atomic bomb
The opposition thinks that dire consequences will follow approval of what they see as a terrible deal.   Kerry seems so self absorbed that he has no appreciation for what is motivating the opposition.  It should be pointed out that those opposed to the deal think the deal itself tarnishes the reputation of the US and puts the US and its allies in a more precarious position.  They do not trust Iran and they do not trust this administration to negotiate a fair deal to the US.

Neither Kerry or Obama have earned the trust of those who oppose the deal and Iran certainly hasn't either.  They see the consequences of the bad deal as worse than the consequences of rejecting it.  Kerry is yet to come up with a convincing argument to change minds.
