Yep, this is the Turtle's defining moment.

[snarkytart]

The worst thing you can do is start acting foolish toward a couple of life long EXTREMELY powerful senators like McConnell and Graham. They are too arrogant to care about peons protesting, as a matter of fact it makes them buckle down even more when the unwashed try to push them around.

[snarkytart]

agreed...get it DONE!

[Cowboy Bob]

It’s not Ruth’s seat...It’s Whizzer White’s seat.

McConnell’s been real good to the point I don’t get why he catches so much flak on this website.

"I just heard the remarks of the Republican leader. It's obvious why he is so, so defensive," Schumer added. "What is fair is fair. A senator's word must count for something."

The turtle is not loved on FR. But he is exactly the right man for this job. He is the smoothest political operator to run the Senate since Lyndon Johnson back in the 1950s. Most people go to sleep counting sheep. Mitch nods off counting votes and reciting arcane rules of parliamentary procedure. He is not a miracle worker. But if something is actually doable in the Senate, and he is on your side, he will get it done. He knows the levers of power and whose back needs scratching and who he needs to lean on.

So what did ol' Chucky here say in 2016 about Obama and Garland?

[reg45]

Actually, it’s the ninth seat on the Supreme Court, since whoever is appointed to fill the seat will be the most junior Associate Justice.

Unable to forget Haley Barbour, Mississippi, and Cochran.

Yurtle threw the nation under the bus in order to see his
old buddy, Cochran, get re-elected (gasp! and he died not long after)

Certainly hope the Majority Leader has access to a food taster along with his security force. In fact, every pubbie senator should consider this possibility. Arkancide is still being practiced.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

When it comes to confirming judges, Mitch knows how to get the job done. It is his greatest strength.

There is no digging

[lee martell]

Mitch is one of the very few people Mr. Trump will listen to and moderate his behavior for. Once in a while, Mitch has to remind the president of how the majority GOP are thinking or how they can be motivated to work with the proposals of this administration. That’s what a Party Elder is for.

[MulberryDraw]

It would be down right foolish not to fill the vacant seat IMO.

[Made In The USA]

The gloves came off a long time ago. Three years of BS allegations, corrupt investigations and impeachment... and we have Pelosi now saying she’d impeach again to delay Senate process...

And if roles were reversed would the Left delay? Hell no.

President Trump’s choice should be processed and voted on right away.

Me either. Very thankful we have McConnell as the Senate Majority Leader.

I'm with you both.

They don’t call him Scummer for nothin’.

Yep. Thank God we have President Trump and Senate Majority Leader McConnell in their.
