Can’t wait to see the liberal rage and tears when the nuclear option goes off.

Harry Reid said the Democrats if they won the Senate they would get rid of the Filibuster

They just knew Hillary would win

Mc Connell you better

When Zero nominated Garland, they demanded that he be confirmed immediately.

I think they’d filibuster him if Trump nominated him — not that he would ever do so.

But their TDS is so strong that if Trump gave them a nominee they wanted, they’d filibuster him just to hurt Trump.

No doubt. The RINOS are a big problem as always.

I wouldn’t want to march into battle with McConnell and Ryan as my Generals.

Ditch the filibuster. You know the Dems would do so.

Make them do a real filibuster.

Do not just fold to the threat like the GOP usually does.

Make them talk continuously and when they are done, vote.

Of course.

Bi-partisan is never a two way street for the ‘Rats.

It has gotten to the point that if Trump nominated someone to the left of Karl Marx, the Democrats would filibuster it.

The Senate rejected George Washington's choice for Chief Justice, John Rutledge.

Of course George Washington can't hold a candle to the great Barack Obama in the eyes of Democrats.

I doubt it will get that far. Too many of the Senate Dims are up for reelection in 2018 and are vulnerable, coming from states that voted for Trump.

Everything except the SCOTUS is already under the nuclear rule. The RINO’s just won’t get the hell out of the way.
