Let me get this clear:
First the Dummies wanted to abolish the electoral college, even though they have won elections that way. Now they want to do away with the nuclear option because suddenly it doesn’t suit their needs.
So: when it works for THEM, it’s OK. When it works for us, it’s all wrong and must be fixed.
Now I got it.
The Democrats regard themselves as the natural ruling elite and anything that impedes that natural order is not to be tolerated. In short, they operate on the childhood rule of "Heads I win, tails you lose!" With the able and deep assist given by the fellow-traveler LEFTIST MSM, they have frequently buffaloed the opposition with dire warnings of how they would get retribution for failure to let them have their way.
Except for extraordinary tough individuals in the GOP, Reagan and Gingrich come to mind, the Democrats have had a very successful trend that they see no reason to stop. We forget how GOP successes turn into hazy fumes when the Democrats find weak individuals like Jim Jeffords and Arlan Spector to work their will.
The problem for them NOW is that there are none willing to actually turn their coat and even the wafflers have learned that Trump stands to trump anything that they might do for the opposition Democrats. Add their totally foolish bow to Obama's intolerance of opposition with opening that 'Nuclear Option' and they now find themselves with very little power or persuasion!
Stand FIRM in Congress and you will find two+ years of whimpering Schumer, crying to the LEFTIST MSM about how unfair it is that Harry did not stay to eat his own pudding!
