We need new Republicans.
The ones we have are more concerned about citizens of other countries who broke into our country and are robbing us blind.
Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Gardner, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst, Young, Boozman and Shelby are all undocumented Democrats in R jerseys.
The next time the ‘rats hold the Senate and the White House, out the window it goes.
Detestable POS is probably being too kind.
The Swamp Turtle remains loyal to the Swamp.
It is the Huff Poop. Is it reliable to believe them>
Huffpo disinformation. It is not in the Senate rules. It’s an informal custom from the past when Americans (and Senators) had shared values.
I understood earlier today he was doing away with the blue slips, or at least reducing their effectiveness, so they couldn’t block Trump judges.
So which is it?
One useless Senate leader after another.
Right from the Trent Lott manual.
McConnell has to be voted OUT! ASAP!!!
he’s just awful!
Reports indicate that this was true only until 2003. Since 2003, one positive blue slip will move the nominee forward.

This just shows how completely out of touch with reality Fred Barnes is.
What idiot would believe for even one minute that the Turtle would do ANYTHING to help Trump’s agenda?
thought it was good news when I heard it earlier. Looks like you have to double and triple check with these cowards. Get rid of this guy!
Oh, he is a fan.

So why doesn’t President Trump just nominate Judges from solid Red States that he carried?, there have to be several states that have two Republican Senators, and some more than qualified nominees.
It seems like this would be a way to stick a finger in the dems eye, and at the same time nominate some conservative judges.
Use the rules against them for a change.
How often did Republican Senators block Dem appointments by using the ‘blue slip’??? IIRC, Reid changed the Senate rules to allow judicial appointments (except the SCOTUS) to move forward with only a simple majority. Did ANY Pubbies stand up to Reid and block any judges??? This ‘blue slip’ business needs to end. ONE SENATOR CAN BLOCK ANY JUDGE ONLY FOR HAVING A DIFFERENT POLITICAL POINT OF VIEW. That is waaaay too much power for any Senator. Period.
Of course he (or more properly, it) is.
He is pure vermin wrapped up in a skunk outfit, perfumed in poop.
Reagan was right about “bold colors” vs “pale pastels” Everything these guys do is murky, garbled, unclear. They’re such horrible
Communicators. McConnell could have gotten some much needed street cred. Now, even if they do away with the slips, the PR benefit is drowned in lack of clarity. Such dopes
Hardly surprising. Mitch and the Repub leadership are uniparty. Just like all the democrats.
Uniparty does what uniparty does.
Not surprising at all.
