Face it. If the RATS don’t get their way, they will go ‘nuclear.’ And the Republicans will stand by with their proverbial thumbs up their you-know-whats looking like so many Alfred E. Neumans. The Republican Party has no guts, no onions, no saavy, and simply doesn’t know how to fight. I have given up on them.

Anyone here believe the Dem’s WON’T go nuclear the next time it suits their agenda?

Me either.

“Everything you want now plus two more later”

More from BI:
“...would allow five of Obama’s nominations to go forward — nominees that include Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Gina McCarthy as EPA administrator, and Thomas Perez as Labor Secretary.

Obama, who has not agreed to the deal, would then swap out two nominees to the National Labor Relations Board — Sharon Block and Richard Griffin. His two replacements would get votes quickly before a deadline in August that would render the board inoperable.”
...

There’s a scene in a movie or tV show where a buyer offers more than someone wants and says later he was ‘haggling’...

So it would leave the 60 vote threshold for Supreme Court appointments stand?

Until there's an actual Supreme Court vacancy. At that point Reid will threaten the nuclear option again, and McCain will appease him again by surrendering.

Make no mistake, this is a surrender.

He heaped praise on Republican Sen. John McCain, who he said was able to "break through" when no other Republicans were willing.

What a surprise...not!

Time to change parties, McLame.

The old fool falls for it every time.

McLame is not falling for anything. He is knowingly, actively, gleefully working with his Democrat pals to undermine the country and everything it once stood for.
