Hillary didn’t destroy Cruz in the primaries, nor did she destroy anyone else in there she could have beaten any one of them the way Obama beat Romney.

She didn’t destroy trump because she couldn’t. GOPe tried. Probably with her support

[onyx]

He’ll cave.

[aumrl]

Huh?
You alleging DT can’t beat hrc?
OK; then who can?
Cruz? Can he get Hispanic voters?
Can he get Black voters?
Can he get bluecollar RR voters?
Has he gotten Evangelical voters?
Show where he gets 270 electoral votes?
Any eastern repuplicans?

Facts please, not dreams or wishes or slogans.

[Savage Beast]

Hold the line, Mitch. You might have a future after all.

[Amendment10]

McConnell may be politicking.

Senators Say They Might Confirm Obama's High Court Pick After US Election (Say what????)

And what’s to stop Obama from making a recess appointment?

[GilesB]

The more Mitch says he won’t, the more certain I am he will.

[Rennes Templar]

Trump effect

[little jeremiah]

Maybe they can have a vote to say he’s confirmed if they don’t have a vetoable vote in 60 days to say he’s not confirmed.

They have a ways to go to regain my trust. This is an important step if I they actually stick to this promise and don’t confirm.

Could you explain in simple English what that means?

[FrankR]

It’s only been a little over a week, give him time, he’ll cave.

[Lisbon1940]

He should be thinking that but it would expose his hypocrisy. As a result, the chances grow for a far-left justice picked by Hillary or a wildcard named by Trump. Hold the election, and then vote up or down on Garland.

the Senate better not take a vacation while obozo is still in the WH

We should email and call McConnel to show support when he does the right thing.

[Caipirabob]

I’m honestly surprised. Hold the line mcConnell...

[Caipirabob]

As I had heard it McConnell will wait to see who wins the GOP nomination for president. If he feels the nominee is not qualified to pick an alternate justice, McConnell will have Obamas pick confirmed.

This way he can punish America if Trump becomes the nominee.

[ptsal]

Why do I doubt the gobbler....

Old turkey neck will deliver the hearings just the way Zero wants them, IMHO.

[GilGil]

The Trump effect. McConnell developing a spine. Nice to see.

[ptsal]

If Garland was not already a resident of DC, I would bet that he has his plane ticket reserved.

[luv2ndamend]

McConnell Isn’t Budging On Garland Nomination, Won’t Hold Confirmation Vote....Till after the primaries.

Fixed it.
