Democratic Pollster and CEO of Schoen-Cooperman Research Carly Cooperman, former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush Karl Rove, and FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram join Bret to clarify the confusion over the Iran negotiations and forecast how the conflict, along with the Democratic party’s drift towards socialism, will factor into this year’s midterm elections.
