Democrats chose to punt so they could get out of town to go campaign.
This is NOT sitting well at all with their radical base.
The backbiting and recriminations should be fun to watch.
Yep - in this particular instance for 2018, it may have been better to let them run the 30 hour clock on each of these nominees so that they *didn’t* have the chance to go home and campaign.
With the Senate map tilted so far in the R’s favor this year, I might have kept them in town and let them have to choose between campaigning for themselves and missing the votes on judicial nominees and explaining it to their base.
Any deal the Rats agree to is bad for the country count on it.
