Exactly. They have no ‘nads.

[Girlene]

lol...this guy never stops.

[combat_boots]

I know! You just want to say, “Dayum, son! Melons. The size of melons.”

[DoughtyOne]

[MNJohnnie]

Just keep pointing out the are following the Obama/Biden precedent.

If the fate of the Republic required us to wait until the elections were held then, same standard applies now when Obama/Biden are on the OTHER side of the debate.

[canuck_conservative]

. . . they have to play the game. It's only for nine months

Not even that, they only need to hold strong for 3-4 months, by then it will be mid-summer and the thick of the election ... by which point everyone will agree it's too close to the election to do anything.

Ignore the leftist media's desperate screeching and stay strong, Republicans, and you can win this.

[Theodore R.]

If these senators stand firm, it will be because of the donors demanding that they stand up to Obama on this.

[Redbob]

Or, as Osamabama himself put it: “Elections have consequences - we won, you lost!”

[laplata]

FR needs a “LIKE” option.

[Red Steel]

We’ll see. Uphold the Joe Biden rule.

[WENDLE]

I assume they wanted to be re-elected ,if there is any chance now .
Let me tell you about “Coat Tails”. Elected representatives and Senators that do NOT endorse ( with vigor) Donald J. Trump, WILL BE PRIMARIED and defeated. This Gope crap weakness is OVER.

[AndyJackson]

The Republican party finally remembered where they left the Senate testicle.

[gg188]

Total b.s.

Never happen. Repubs will fold like a cheap suitcase. They just gave Obama 2 trillion dollars to fund importing Muslims, importing refugees, fully fund Obamacare, fund Planned Parenthood, etc etc. Obamie's Commie Wish List, fully funded by the Republicans. They've folded on everything else. Why would that suddenly change.

[VerySadAmerican]

What they’re really saying is “Be patient, liberals. Hillary will get to name the next one.”

[TexasFreeper2009]

wow

I hope this is for real!

Maybe Trump has shown these jellyfish that having a spine can pay off!

[beethovenfan]

Bork! Bork! Bork!

[houeto]

This nomination will be determined by whoever wins the presidency in the polls

...in the polls?!? How about 'in the voters' booths'?

[luv2ndamend]

Nope. They will cave after primary season. The sheeple will still vote for them. The Uni-party is just buying time.

[FreeReign]

"This nomination will be determined by whoever wins the presidency in the polls," Mr. McConnell said. "I agree with the Judiciary Committee's recommendation that we not have hearings. In short, there will not be action taken."

We've been lied to before. Seeing is believing.

[Amish with an attitude]

Pfft... they will cave in less than two months.
