“REMINDER:

Trump’s win is only ONE HALF of why we won’t have a liberal Supreme Court for A LONG TIME.

Mitch McConnell is the other half, and frankly, his winning gamble of holding off the Obama nominee will prove one of the most profoundly influential choices of all history.

We dislike much of what he has done, but make no mistake about it. THIS reversed it all. He was under tremendous pressure to proceed with Obama’s nominee. He said no.

And won.”

THAT is a very good point. He did hold his ground on the nominee and that is probably the best move he’s made in his career.

I must admit, I am surprised he did hold the line. To understand that position, we need to see what was in it for him, or that he realized his political career would be over if he didn’t.

You signed up today to pimp for the RINO Mitch? Freepers are not as dumb as the general population so no sale.
