potential emergency break

I hate to become the grammar police, but this is the second misuse of a word in the past 20 minutes. Both from the original article (not typos by the FR poster.) The other was a lose/loose misuse, but not in the usual sense ('loose' instead of 'lose') ... it was 'lose' instead of 'loose' .....

/sigh

Deal With It! Azzhole!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Coons regrets the Democrats losing power, that is all. If Hillary won the White House and the Dems won the Senate, he would be all for stopping the filibuster. His comment is pure political gamesmanship.

Typical liberal shortsighted thinking. Someone should tell him : You reap what you sow ... and be glad the adults came into power before you fully opened the borders to islamic terrorists.

Tyrants want absolute power for themselves and then scream when that power is used against them.

Best election EVER!

I would almost bet money that they will. The Dems will scream and holler and gnash their teeth, which will scare the lily-livered GOPe. Trump will have his hands full herding these pussies into acting like winners.

Senator Chris Coons (D., Del.) said on CNN Tuesday that he regrets the rule change Senate Democrats made to the nomination process.

Typical liberal; wants it both ways.

It’s not too late for McConnell to reinstate it!!!!

[No Dems 2016]

Harry Reid’s myopic temper tantrum has come back to haunt the Dems. While SCOTUS appointments can still be filibustered, all other judicial appointments are allowed on a majority vote, meaning Trump can fill all the vacancies on the federal judiciary.

Harry’s legacy.

The only reason Democrats got more senate votes than Republicans (45.2M to 39.3M) was because in California it was a Democrat vs. Democrat and those two got a combined 11.6M votes.

I TOL' you, but no . . .

“as Hillary Clinton won the popular nomination”
You are an elected official and you do not understand that there is no such thing as the popular vote or popular nomination for the Presidency in the United States? Shame on you for you ignorance!

[databoss]

I laugh at the stupidity of the Dims. I hope they never rebound as a vital political party.

[El Cid]

The Dems will scream and holler and gnash their teeth, which will scare the lily-livered GOPe. Trump will have his hands full herding these [losers] into acting like winners.

I think the issue is that the bulk of the GOPers want the same things as the Democrats (and ever growing, and more powerful, Government - and a population that know their places as slaves to this Government) - but they have to pretend otherwise to win elections. Trump is going to have his hands full if he tries to return the Nation to a Constitutional Republic. He'll be attacked, and opposed, by both Parties (as well as the embedded enemy Media).

Use it to place our nominees and then change the rule back.
