"Democrats will make a huge mistake if they're too partisan and refuse to give us a hearing on the nominees. So it's not even the vote that matters, it's what Democrats do when the nominations come in," the former official said.

Not even close to understanding. It does matter that there are votes.

If Democrats move to squelch the nominations, the president plans to hammer home the split on core values between the two parties in an attempt to woo back his base.

You aren't getting back your base by playing partisan games, calling them names and still pushing for amnesty.

"We need to remind Republicans to hang together because the alternative is much, much worse," the former official said.

Whatever.

"Pushing these two issues is going to shore up the base, because it will remind them of our core values, what is important to us."

To us? Gee, now you WANT to associate with us crazy right wing yahoos? Well don't I feel so special. :-)

Kill the Judicial filibuster. That will win you some support. Pretending you can't confirm judges because of DEMOCRATS won't play this time, not with 55 Senators. I'm aware they are Liberal but that's your problem. Why don't you sell them on the line they have to do it for the good of the party and Dems are worse?

Bottom line you can't yank our chain anymore. No amnesty, enforce the border, and kill the filibuster. That will win you support.
