There is little chance this will occur even if it represents a smarter strategy because they have no discipline. They cannot help themselves.

Stop and consider for a second that we are now enduring the 10th day in a row of absolute hyperventilation by the media who are not only hysterical - they are feeding off each other. They are idiots and are behaving like cattle in a stampede for no reason. More people will ignore them because it has become boring and tedious.

There will be hysterics about his nomination for SCOTUS - guaranteed. They have been hysterical about every thing else so why not?

It’s fake news from CNN. None of the article is true.

The Senate is absolutely NOT going to end the filibuster.
They may return it to it’s traditional form.

Funny thing that the Dems’ small ‘base’ is fighting mad, but their donors are scared to death. Puts them in a spot. A spot similar to the Republican party’s.

...If this is ‘Populism’ I’ll have more.

Trump is controlling the clock and the ball, staying on offense, and the libdems are getting exhausted playing defense.

Trump needs to run up the score.

They have been hearing from the public and really do not want Scalia’s death looked at closely during conformation. That is a bag of worms they do not want internet sleuths spending weeks on.

If this were only true. Frankly, how can we believe them or the agency reporting this ‘newly found information’ from a meeting held last week (supposedly). Are there any who believe the opposition has folded due to what has been seen from President Trump in the past three days? Do not let your guard down. The enemy is sly and they are known to be liars
Foolish actions require a good slap in the face to bring the unhinged back to reality.

Agree with the comments. B.S. posturing by Dems.

Then they can say, “We were going to be reasonable BUT Trump sent us this mad, woman-hating, Muslim-fearing, extreme right winger and we can’t just give in to that!”

All bull. They know Americans nailed them as obstructionist whining 4 year olds and are sick of it.

Harry Reid revoked the filibuster on all nominations except for those of Supreme Court justices

The ONLY reason that Reid did not unilaterally abolish Supreme Court filibusters when he unilaterally abolished filibusters of all other Presidential nominees is because there were no Supreme Court vacancies at the time.

You're so right in your post. I figure the dems will lay low in the upcoming SCOTUS hearing and will hold their fire for the SECOND appointment opening.

The upcoming appointment and subsequent approval by the senate won't change the makeup of the court because one constitutional conservative will replace the deceased one.

The SECOND Trump nomination WILL obviously re-shape the court...and this GOP nominee will get the Bork treatment by the liberal axe-wielding inquisitioners like we've never seen before!

I think they’re shell shocked
A group of powerful but arrogant complacent and not highly intelligent people have been overwhelmed by sheer audacity and men who have observed them and mastered the art of neutralizing them
Where are their Jedi Knights?
Chuck Schumer?
Keith Ellis?
Nancy Pelosi?

Oh please

It makes no difference whether they are pretending to be reasonable or caterwauling as usual. No one cares. Democrats are impotent and irrelevant and not even newsworthy. The only thing the left is good for now is entertainment.

I predicted this before Schumer even stepped to the mike as “the big power man”.....and said....”we will not confirm” unless.......

Nope....it’s a disadvantage to have 4/4. Two of Obama’s latest suits were castrated by a lower court...
