McConnell is too gutless to go nuclear.
At the very least if the Democrats threaten a filibuster, make them do it.
A real filibuster, don’t cave to the threat of a filibuster.
When they get tired of reading the phone book or Doctor Suess then you have a vote.
Yes, Mitch has already done everything he needs to do to lose.
“A real filibuster”
And that meaning the Alphonse D’Amato (was it him?) filibuster, where the guy literally stood at the podium and talked for 28 hours straight, including reading prolonged passages from the phone book.
None of this “9-5, we’ll continue the filibuster tomorrow at our regularly scheduled time” nonsense.
I have to agree... these Senators are so full of themselves and not into breaking protocol. McConnell will fold...better to throw Trump under the bus then the Democrats.
I think we have to give McConnell some credit for being patient here.
I think his plan is to give the Democrats a chance to be reasonable. If they pull a judge Bork on Trumps nom, who will be federal judge who has already rec’d confirmation, then he can pull the nuclear option, but it’s got to be drawn out, just like they’re doing with the cabinet members.
I think Trump has about as much patience with these yoyo’s as he have with a supplier or contractor building one of his buildings, which is little to none.
IF Schumer continues his nonsense, he’ll make him the laughing stock of the Senate.
I think your exactly right and while they are filibustering all hell can break loose and it just goes on until the left has shot their wad then there’s vote!
F the left!
