Nuke option now and later.., if the Democrats ever get back in power they will use it anyhow first chance they get.

Why can’t we be more up front about it? It’s called YOU LOSE.

"if the Democrats ever get back in power they will use it anyhow first chance they get."

They'll do it, anyway. Once again, the Pubbies are boxing using Queensbury rules, and the 'Rats are eating our lunch using guerilla tactics. Man up, McConnell. Nuke the SOBs.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

The only reason the rats never used the nuclear option for the SC is because it was never necessary. They could always find enough RINOs to agree to vote for any leftist activist radical they cared to nominate. Should Republicans ever attain conservative unity the rats would go nuclear in a heartbeat.

Yep. Harry Reid said as much when he was sure hillary was going to win. We will never really know what a bullet we dodged in November.

If you can force a vote without using the nuclear option, it looks more “reasonable” and you can use the nuclear option on the second nomination, claiming they forced you into it.

It’s just a tactical decision.
