That’s our ace in the hole.
At the end of the day Mitch is REALLY, REALLY P*SSED.
The Democrats have been playing games with these nominations for over a decade. Whatever else you think of The Turtle he is a stickler for Senate process and tradition. He keeps thinking he has partners across the aisle who agree, only to have them turn around and stab him in the back whenever it suits them.
If the Dems get away with this the process is broken forever. In his heart of hearts I know that is something Mitch cannot abide.
He is going to cram this down and strongarm as many votes as it takes.
I completely agree.
