If that happens we need to show up en masse at the square with effigies galore and every body’s cell phone on “record video”. Enough with the madness.

I really don’t think THAT would happen.

we are screwed!

Yep... we are so screwed. If it were the other way around... Reid would be unmoveable... like a rock. Our guys will be like leaves in a river.

At first impression one is impelled to say that Donald Trump is utterly irrelevant to this process but when one considers the scurrilous history of Donald Trump's dealmaking one can easily understand how he will broker a deal between McConnell and Obama by the terms of which McConnell agrees to an appointee who will rule against Cruz on natural birth citizenship.

McConnell will go for the deal because he, like Trump, is a dealmaker with the other side and he knows he will be able to cut deals with Trump but not with Cruz and Obama will go for the deal because he will get a leftist judge.
