Well then, let's look at it another way:

When that fearful day comes and the Reps are a minority in the Senate and there is a Dem President, how many of those 7 "moderate" Democrats are going to sit with us and support a deal that gives us veto power over all but 3 of President Hillary's nominees.

If you think this is a victory for Republicans, you are the problem.

You haven't called me any names yet, but I've seen you do it twice already on this thread. Got one for me?

The Dems do not get any veto power. The Nuke-day was merely deferred. The first 3 get through. No commitment on the others. Get them up for a vote and let's see what happens. I do not think the Dems will risk this again.

The 7 Dems could have done this just by voting for Cloture on the first 3 and waiting to pick their target.
