Agree; Cornyn and Cruz will have to hold McConnell up and move his lips for him though as he will go plumb wobbly at the thought. Actually, I hope the Dems do filibuster and thereby force Republicans to go Nuke. It will make it much easier to nominate Supremes from here in out.
Lindsey Graham signaled he is not supportive of the nuclear option. McCain probably is of like mind. If they vote against a rule change they need one more to avoid a tie. Collins, maybe? Or anyone of the usual suspects.
I don’t hold out much hope if a change in the rules needs a vote.
Schumer wants McConnell to go nuclear so he’ll have something else to bitch about. He’s bluffing.

Nuke them.
It doesn’t matter who Trump nominates, the ‘Rats are going to filibuster. Need to let the ‘Rats know they don’t mean sh$t in the Senate. The Republicans have the numbers, use them. Use them in Judge confirmations, use them in health care law, use them in all votes in the Senate.
