Yep, I believe that the GOPe realize that the Trump win along with with wins by Governors and state legislatures that voters are fed up and VP-elect Pence knows it, just my view.

Liberal interest groups are pleading with Democrats to fight the nominees, even though theres not a lot they can do without the filibuster and against a unified GOP."The Price Is Right" tuba https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A

Democrats do not, I repeat Do Not need the filibuster. Even if McConnell allows the “nuclear option” to stand.
Does anyone on Facebook really think McCain, Flake, Graham, Wicker, Cochran and the other “Never Trumpets” will vote for all (or any) of Trump’s nominees?
Seriously?

It’s about time we had a GOP that acted as if they had won, instead of being busy making sure everyone likes them. So much disappointment for many years, and now Trump is showing them how to succeed.

Has to be more to it than that. Gope don’t roll over that easily. McCain was just re-elected
But there are all these red state dems up for re-election in 2 years

Republicans did “reach across the aisle” and their hand came back holding a turd.

Trump has some democrats that will vote with him too, the democrats in red states who are up for election in 2018. Correct. Manchin has already stated that he will vote to confirm Sessions.
My concern is, though, that McCain, et al, may be able to recruit enough GOP-e RINOs in the Senate to stall some key appointments. The Senate continues to be our weak link.
Just because they can...

Trump will not have to worry about a Jumping Jim Jeffords or a Lincoln Chafee or an Arlan Spector. There are still some Republican Senators who might obstruct his agenda, but Trump still has a much better Senate than Bush had when he came into office.
