I guess he's about to cave in, just like all the republicans do. They always do.
Is this, perhaps, wishful thinking?
No, but I and many other Republicans have been disappointed too many times. Republicans always have a loud bark, but no bite. Whereas the Dims have both, and they never give in, never.
You just wait and see on the judicial nominees, do you really think the Senate will go nuclear and force a vote? I keep hoping the Republicans will grow some gonads, but I am always disappointed. So now, it is always to be expected they will cut and run. Always.
Unfortunately, the Republicans do not have any real inspiring leaders anymore, to give one hope that they will stand up to the Dims and their propoganda machine. Sad but true.
