Unfortunately, McCain, Graham, Collins, and Rubio won’t go for the nuclear option. This is what led to the earlier gang of 8 to get legislative amnesty for Dreamers and other illegals by not having to use the nuclear option that Reid was threatening.

Don’t forget the Flake. I think under CERTAIN circumstances Trump could support a Democrat running for senator in 2018. Just give the POTUS a Profile in Courage vote or 2 in the next couple of years.

. That was then, this is now, after Reid used the N.O. Also the Pubs number one issue to force people to the polls for the last 10 years has been getting good SCOTUS justices. That's why McConnell had to find enough backbone to hold the seat open. They have to deliver, there's no more excuses.

Anyone who underestimates Trump has been left bitterly disappointed. He has insulted McCain, Graham, and Rubio loudly and often. He is just setting them up for a trip to the woodshed. He will lay the lumber to them if McConnell can't get the job done.

Collins will fall to his charming side. If that fails he will detail the job to Melania.

He has so much ammunition piled up, he will never run out, and he's not afraid to use it.

Look forward to eight years of winning.

Don’t be so sure. You ignore the persuasive power of our new president.

Second, this is the only chance in a lifetime for Republicans to stack the courts.
