I don’t think PDJT cares about what the Turtle thinks.
He does care though that the very soft shell Turtle would just do his damn job for American Patriots and get whomever POTUS selects seated on the SC in an expedient fashion.
In the infamous words of GHWB, "Never did. Never will."
M”itch McConnell doesn’t have the stomach for a Supreme Court fight.”
Really. Notice how he ducked his little turtle head into his shell when he was being harassed, and left his wife to stand up to the bullies. No stomach for any kind of fight, large or small.
Huh? Where did this come from?
Remember that Obama got Elena Kagan appointed to SCOTUS and she had NEVER been a Judge, so there wasn’t a track record of decisions.
If they’re on Trump’s list of 25, they’re all good. If they’re in his final 4, then he thinks they’re excellent and not just good.
Let’s not get Ann Coulter stirred up again!!
He may not have the stomach for the fight but those publicly harassing him may change his fighting posture....
The left doesn’t care anyway who McConnell recommends. Anyone to the right of RBG will be cast as “reactionary,” “fascist” and “Hitler.”
The only props you can give Mr. Elaine Chao is that he wouldn’t bring Merrick Garland’s nomination forward/for a vote, citing the “Biden Rule.” That was not only political genius (though he probably did it hoping Kasich would be the next prez), but it saved us from 2+ years of disasterous SCOTUS rulings.
Mitch has no spine.
Harriet Miers would have more likely voted against Obamacare.
I guess you didn’t get to this one yet....
“
Hey Mitch! Harriet Miers would have been easily confirmed as well, but would have been a disaster!”
OOPS! Wrong headline..
“McConnell Tries to Nudge Trump Toward Two Supreme Court Options (Kethledge and Hardiman)”
At least give Mitch credit for his greatest accomplishment which was keeping Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court which got us Gorsuch.
Yeah, it's easier to stamp one's feet and say all McConnell needs to do is man up, but that doesn't get us to 51 votes.
McCanin relished being the vote that lost the fight on Obamacare, reportedly coming off the dais after the vote with a comment: “Make American great now, Donald.”
Clearly, the vote was a spite vote against Trump, not against the Obamacare McCain had railed against for years.
I have no doubt that the word has been passed that if McCain can be there physically to provide another spite vote against the interest of America, he will vote against any Trump nominee.
Such a shame that two grown men can’t be statesmen at this stage of their careers. Who is more to blame? Who cares?
Any of Trump’s top 4 will be fine, and certainly no Harriet Miers. If McConnell has heard from some Pub senators that they won’ vote for 2 of them he absolutely should let Trump know. If he didn’t and the nominee didn’t get through by 1 vote you would all be screaming he should have let Trump know. All you whiners ought to quit the knee-jerk Mitch bashing on this. He did a good job killing the Merrick nomination and getting Gorsuch through, so in this issue I trust him.
Besides the two he recommended have solid 2A records, my #1 issue. Where’s you evidence that either is anything other that what Trump promised?
