Harry Reid made the right decision back then. . . .for such a time as this.

I smell “gang of eight” warming up in the bullpen. I can see it now, McCain and Graham and their dimwit friends stopping everything until the Senate reverses the Reid rule change. These two are trouble for Trump. Just hide and watch.

It would if we didn’t have Juan McCain, Limpseed Graham, Olympia Snowe, etc to sabotage their own party.

You assume that the faint-hearted McConnell will employ the nuclear option -- no sure thing. He also assumes that there won't be any Jumping Jim Jeffard wannabes.

Let there be a giant mushroom cloud appear over Washington D.C., at least figuratively.

Dont be surprised if Mitch McTurtle reinstates the old rules as a gesture of friendship and a display of reaching-across-the-aisle.Perhaps under President Jeb, but not under President The Donald.

No wonder he resigned. He didn’t want to be anywhere near the fallout when his “nuclear option” fell into the “wrong” hands!

I haven’t noticed a change in McConnell yet. Still the same old loser.

I am afraid that McConnell who opposed the nuclear option in favor of Senate traditional rules, might want to go back to them in spite of the way Dems played dirty in the past.
We simply have to play by the same rules or the Dems will kick our butts time after time and do it without shame.

Tired of winning? So many fatalists out there - must suck to go through life being disappointed before the disappointment comes. Better to be realistic than to be blindsided by reality.
It's sure as hell healthier than assuming that Chuckie Schumer will be strewing flower petals in Trump's path.
