The Senate Republican Leadership is ‘turtles all the way down’.

All these “roadblocks” are in reality GOP-enabled delay tactics. The cold hard truth is these people are just as culpable as “their friends across the aisle”. Every bit as guilty.

If they were true patriots, all these “roadblocks” would disappear immediately.

"Under the tradition . . ."

Democrat fascists preach against holding to tradition all the time so why pretend it matters in this case?

By all means give your beloved McConnell a pass.
The RATs won’t stop using this rule.
But your your buddy McConnell can stop it.

but there is a lot of distance — light years, in fact — between my insisting that we blame democrats for democrat obstruction, and hosting a love fest for that idiot mitch mcconnell. people at FR make that sort of mistake a lot.

Yes, that POS Reid did that, in order to get leftist ideologues who have no regard for the law appointed instead of moderate, thoughtful, judicious types.

What would you rather do. Spend millions of dollars running ads
against democrats now? Or with a stroke of a pen or a public announcement
McConnell can change that tradition, thus saving millions of dollars
that can be used for 2018?

Save the money. Change the tradition. It that simple.

That's bullsh!t. There is nothing in the Constitution about this nonsense.

McConnell needs to step up, pull his head out of his shell, and get rid of this stupid rule.

The “real” cold hard fact is that the GOPe is totally culpable. Their “friends across the aisle” have only the “power” that The Turtle allows them. What we are witnessing is the GOPe attacking President Trump.

I think DJT knows this. He really is in a “pickle” because it’s him and us against all of D.C. They could vote him out at any time, for essentially no reason.

I think that’s why he always speaks so highly of the GOPers, because he has to work with them to get anything passed.

He is an amazing negotiator. I can’t think of anyone else on this earth that could and would do as much as he has done thus far, given the traitors with which he has to deal.

Nevertheless, I say my nightly prayers that God would remove all the GOPe vermin and replace them with true patriots. There are just so many of them.
