And that is what a LOT of Freepers don't seem to understand. They keep saying Grassley should VOTE NOW VOTE NOW but they don't get that he's walking a tightrope. If he does that and the three idiots vote no...then we end up with no judge.
And UNFORTUNATELY, we don't have a majority leader with a pair and a spine who knows how to punish those who get out of line like the democrats do. If Turtle knew what he was doing, he would pull the two that were going to be here in 2019 aside and say "look, stop this nonsense now and vote yes, or I will put you as a junior member on the worst sub-committee I can think of and give you two the office with all the rats! You'll think you've died and gone to hell!"
But he won't...because we don't have a real leader.
Yes. But I’m going one step further and saying that the constituents need to put pressure on them. That will be a lot more convincing that if McConnell or Grassley does.
The Dems are very good at motivating their base. Republicans seem to think that all they have to do is blame their leaders and threaten them at the polls. Putting the screws on your reps is a lot more effective.
