Bork, Bolton, Gonzales - ‘Pub nominees that the ‘RATS destroyed. It should’ve been done w/ Lynch, but the ‘Pubs are cowards.
I believe the 3rd party should be named the “CRUZERS”

An obvious strategy for the GOP (make that the GOPe) “Leadership” would be to schedule votes as follows:

2. Any vote that the Dems plan to filibuster.
3. Any vote that the Dems plan to filibuster.
4. Any vote that the Dems plan to filibuster.
5. The Lynch vote.
