It has started.

[RummyChick]

And yet, GOPe is saying the people’s vote doesn’t count on POTUS and they want a brokered convention

[fwdude]

It has started.

You mean the caving?

[Ray76]

The Biden Rule... hahaha get lost Obama

[pilgrim]

The bluster before the caving. :)

They have to make a pretense of protesting.

Hope they ‘mean it this time!’

[backwoods-engineer]

I have to admit: quoting the Biden Rule was a good move. It shoves it back in the Democrats’ faces.

[PermaRag]

Biden Rule, Schumer Rule, Obama Rule, Kennedy Rule.

Now would be a great time to play by the “rules” which all of the above hypocrites defined — and which the liberal media totally supported and defended.

But instead we have Mitch, who will probably cave before 5 PM today if he hasn’t already.

The Biden rule = Just get a shotgun, man! Fire it in the air!

[Still Thinking]

‘The next justice could fundamentally alter the direction of the Supreme Court and have a profound impact on our country, so of course the American people should have a say in the Court’s direction…The American people may well elect a President who decides to nominate Judge Garland for Senate consideration. The next President may also nominate someone very different. Either way, our view is this: Give the people a voice in the filling of this vacancy.’

Agreed. If this was Ruth Buzzy and his proposed replacement was in fact reasonably moderate (always a crapshoot, I think some of them hold their fire until it's too late to do anything about it), then fine. Since he wants to replace one of the more sane Justices, uh, NO.

Yurtle speak for “give us time and we’ll slip him right in for ya Barry, ‘ol buddy.”

And so the dance begins.

Like it or not, Trump still speaks only for a plurality of the delegate and, to the point, the voters in primaries. “the people”is too broad a claim. I do stink however that he probably will have his majority by convention time. My concerns remains: Can he get his negatives down? Can he win without whipping his horse?

[Savage Beast]

The Trump Revolution has you in its cross-hairs, McConnell, and don't forget it.

Yep, the toning down has started. Next statement issued by the Turtle will have a more compromise tone etc, until the appointment, then the fake condemnation, and finally the acceptance. We have seen this movie a dozen times, staring spineless Mc Turtle.

[Cheerio]

NO WAY - the GOPe is scared sh$%less of Obie and his propaganda drive-by media. The GOPe led by turtle head will cave after they see the media takes a couple of polls showing the GOP losing in Nov 2016. THAT IS ALL IT WILL TAKE and turtle head will duck and cower.

[Kit cat]

They do cave TRUMP stampedes them with the nomination!!! They certainly are in a corner now aren’t they !!!!

[Kit cat]

There are already cracks 3 senators wish to speak to the nominee, and guess who, the idiot from Maine, Isoff, I can’t remember the other!!!

[DoodleDawg]

It has started.

It certainly has. Obama set the trap and the Republicans have walked right into it. Think about it. A 63 year old white guy? Based on the choices for the past 45 years he's too old, and for this administration he's the wrong race. Garland is one candidate who, on the face of it, has nothing that the Republicans could complain about. That's why he was chosen. This nomination is meant for one reason and one reason only; so the Democrats can hammer away about the obstructionist Republican congress on the campaign trail.

I hate that a*****e McConnell so much I'd rather not comment...

Useless piece of ****!
