McConnell caved and the Dhimms can still impose the 51 vote rule whenever Dirty Harry dictates.

The Dhimms got what they wanted—radical nominee approvals—and the Republicans got nothing, as usual.

With McConnell and Boehner as negotiators, it doesn’t matter whether the Republicans control the Senate and/or the House; they’ll always be losers.

Trouble? How? Did the rules passed while those two were on board get over-turned/tossed-out? Haven’t heard word one that’s happened.

All the GOP did was bend over (again) and take one for the DEMs, willingly. Hell, I’d bet they’ve begun to like it.

“I’m not a fan of McConnel, but what did you expect him to do after McCain and his traitors made the deal with Dirty Hairy? If you’re going to get mad, make sure you have the right target.”

Cruz’s first action would be to strip McCain and those like him of any leadership positions, Period.

How’s that?
