I love the idea. Can they hold hearings and debate the issues? CNN may have just been financially saved!

Seriously, can Trump be invited to speak at some of the hearings? Maybe they can even have a panel of Bernie, Trump, Cruz, Hillary discuss the issues.

As in the Indiana Jones Holy Grail movie, choose wisely! I don't think that the Democrats have thought this though.

I’d like to know what is unconstitutional about his proposal. We are not required to let anybody into our country that would not benefit us.

I thought the constitution cover our citizens, not the world’s.

If you can consider Islam a religion. It is a political system disguised as a religion.

So the DIMoc RATs want to allow into the USA people who will more likely rape, murder, fondle your children and your wife? That sounds like a really good platform to run on.

That’s what I say. I would like these aholes to show me where in the constitution it says we have to allow people in and that we can’t discriminate.

Trump is already setting the agenda in the Senate before he is elected.

Rafael would vote against anything associated with Trump now - so how does that show your guy is in it for the country over his own agenda?

It’s telling that Reid thinks banning muslims, Trump’s most popular proposal, is toxic. He’s that out of touch with America.

I don’t agree that it is unconstitutional....

Mostly, what Trump has been pushing is what Cruz has been pushing for a long time.

So forcing a vote on it... I see no downside in it.

“Shame on ole Mitch McConnell!”

Mitch McConnell is incapable of shame.

He is billion year old carbon and sulfur.

Mitch McConnell goes home every night and manages his blood money.

Reid up to his old tricks again. Cunning bastard, but let’s force him to show how unconstitutional keeping people of specific nationalities that happen to be Muslim’s out really is. I understand J. Carter is still kickin’. Let’s ask him.

Surviving. More or less. Watching the Stock Market with foreboding and Oregon with interest.

In related news.....

McConnell scolds Reid over threat to vote on Trump proposals

Earlier Thursday, the Nevada senator had threatened to seek votes on GOP candidate Donald Trump’s proposals. "If Republicans are afraid to bring their standard-bearer's policies up for votes, Democrats will hold Republicans accountable by seeking floor votes on Trump's policies ourselves,” Reid said.

But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., suggested lawmakers could, in the same vein, call up amendments related to the Democratic candidates’ proposals.

But, he said, “I’m trying to avoid turning the Senate into a [TV] studio” for the campaign.

“Let’s let the candidates run their race, and we’ll try to do the people’s business,” McConnell said.

 

I am pretty sure keeping Muslims out of our country is the people's business!

I wonder if Dingy Harry came up with this idea while having Mitch bent over a desk.
