After months of attempting to obstruct everything President Trump has tried to do, including an ongoing filibuster of the Judge Gorsuch Supreme Court nomination, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer might be ready to make a deal.
Schumer: We lost one [Garland] they lost one [Gorsuch] We should now get in a room and come up with a compromise to avoid the nuclear option

There is the slightest possibility that the Dems could regain the Senate in 2018. So the object of the nuke option is for their benefit not the Repubs.
But all in all the constitution doesn't even appear to call for a vote....but a consensus on character and knowledge.
McConnell need only come out, stride to the MSM, say “Nuts!”, and stride back into his office, slam the door.
Dingy Harry and Smuckie Chuckie.
Mitch won my respect when he killed the Garland nomination.
When he nukes the dems this week he’ll pretty much save the supreme court for a generation.
Crush them. Humiliate them. Grind their bones.
McCain says: IT IS A DEAL!!!
Yeah right, as if anyone could trust him or the other Dems. Just imagine we would give in and nominate another judge. They would hear this new judge for a week and then also vote against him. Then next week the same. Everytime the argument that this new appointee is “too conservative”.
So just nuke ‘em glowing!!!
No deals with the Democrats EVER after all they have put us through for the past 30-40 years. Only surrender and allow them to leave the country with their lives. Nothing else will be satisfactory.
We lost one [Garland] they lost one [Gorsuch]
As usual and customary, schmuck Schumer is full of shiit!
I am afraid that McConnell will fall for this.
McQueeg will want to reach across the aisle.........
Schumer knows as much about making deals as I know about Sanskrit.
Bears repeating.
I’m scared that a bunch of RINO’s and will fall for this and pressure McConnell to give Schumer something in the name of Senate tradition and bipartisanship, even if its just a meaningless and unenforceable “handshake agreement” not to do away with the filibuster if Ginsburg or Breyer bites it in the near future.(you don’t fold when you have a royal flush and you know your opponent has a pair of twos)
Chuckie baby, up yurs !
(Old Lakota term, used at Greasy Grass).
“I am afraid that McConnell will fall for this.”
I wouldn’t be surprised it was McConnell’s idea.
Otherwise, wish we had at least 4 more Trump type people in our corner. In place of McConnell, Ryan, McCain and McCain’s girlfriend Linda.
This time its replacing a conservative with a conservative, next time it will be replacing a liberal justice with a conservative one, and Schumer is getting heat for risking the loss of the filibuster in future.
You didn't run the National Election, WE the American People did and we won, We, the American Voters elected Donald J. Trump to be POTUS...he is.
You are not in charge of the Senate, your are MINORITY leader, you lost, We won, Mitch McConnell is MAJORITY leader of the Senate...you lost.
Your ‘alt left’ opinions are like the MSM, media, globalists, Neo Cons, not worth reading or listening to...what Our POTUS says something or tweets something, We the American Voters that LEGALLY elected him to that Office do listen, you lost.
Your rantings, both in restaurants, on sidewalks, in the Hallowed Halls of Congress are what you are, an insane IDIOT...there your have won hands down.
Sit down, Shut up, we don't care whether your in New York or Washington D.C. you are nothing, have always been nothing and never will be nothing, again on this you won.
Chuck the schmuck.... you LOST the election
And as the famous limp wristed bend over bathhouse towel boy said “ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES”
Go suck a lemon Chuckie .......
