Perhaps you (and a lot of other people) bought into the liberal opinion the the filibuster "deal" was a sell-out. For many reasons, it was not and it is working well for the conservatives. The liberal press is now writing articles that the deal screwed them. It really just postponed the inevitable nuclear option vote, if the Dems want to try obstructing again. They won't.

So the deal was not a sell-out and it cut the rug out from under the Liberal Dem leadership. But their goose was cooked anyway because they had no way to stop the nuclear option.

Your "clarification of the "deal" is all speculation. If you think the Dems won't try to obstruct again, you have not paid attention the last 5 years. That is all the Rats have done to this Pres. And for Graham and the rest of the RINO to even think of making a deal with them is unforgivable to real conservatives. Graham is no conservative.

The "deal" was just a small part.
I don't have time to list all the issues, but one of the biggest down here was his proposal to raise the Social Security cap.

Admittedly, I was one of the ones angry about the deal. In all honesty I don't see how it helped. The truth is we need to do it the way the US Constitution mandates, which is through "advise and consent of the senate".

The only way to prove we weren't shafted by the members of the GOP Senate who worked with McCain is how they vote on all of the president's judicial nominees.

In fairness, I see it to be very difficult for the democrats to filibuster this nominee, but we'll just have to wait and see.

This seems to be a gigantic win for the social conservatives.
