Vote without them. Do you think waiting will have dems change their minds and help???!!!
“Since at least one democrat must be on present for the vote to be held, the move will effectively delay and potentially prevent the confirmation votes on Mnuchin and Price. The duo is among some of the more contentious selections to join Trump’s Cabinet.”
Then McConnell should change the rule, and start docking the pay of the RATS who refuse to show up.
That's rich coming from people who exempted themselves from insider trading rules and somehow all manage to leave "public service" extremely wealthy.
They really don’t want those tax cuts
Since Republicans are majority WHY NOT VOTE?
There must be SOME actions they can take with no Dems present- let them leave and then vote for everything they can without their delaying tactics.
Make them damned if they do and damned if they don’t
Um.....I believe we won the election.
I think that we really need a National Prom Queen.
Then the Democrats could vote their feelings and get over themselves.
The chairmen of these committees need to come up with a work-around, quickly, to vote on the confirmation of these nominees. The process cannot be allowed to be halted by these cowardly dem senators refusing to participate. To hell with them. Any illusion that the repubs have about getting along, working with these idiots should be put to rest.
Just have one Republican temporarily switch his Voter Registration to Democrat and get the Vote over.
Where is Bitch McConnell? That worthless, gutless, pos still hiding under his desk? Dear God do I despise these milquetoast republicans! Hey Mitch! We won the election remember crap for brains? What a farging tool!
Can Sergeant at arms escort one of them back?
Effectively begging to have the rules changed. Forget the SOBs who won't show up and do their job. Change the rules so they're laying out of work doesn't delay the business of the people, confirm Trump's cabinet and move on. Give them so damn many new things to whine and cry about every day that their heads spin.
If Republicans keep pretending the democrat bastards are reasonable people who care about rules and laws then the Republicans are aiding and abetting the democrats. Barry ignored the Congress for eight years the Republicans should at least have the balls to ignore the democrat thugs for the first eight months if not all eight years of Trump.
Dems in red states/states that Trump won....
Sen Nelson - FL
Sen Brown - OH
Sen Casey - PA

CALL NOW!!
Have one of the Pubs temporarily flip to Dem and hold the vote. The duo it all the time when it will hurt conservative stuff. Why not now?
McConnell is going to have to use the rules to fight back, they’ll not cooperate.
Dock their pay.
Guess who’s begging not to lose the 2018 elections gearing up for another huge smoke screen the have proved their worth and honesty all dangerous.
Democrats have done this before. IIRC, the Dems in Wisconsin and Texas left their states in order to avoid votes.
Cryin’ Chucky just disconnects your call and puts it on busy
He needs to step up and end this silliness
Now.
