What about successfully holding up Garland? That had nothing to do with Trump.

Bottom line, McConnell has been great on the Federal judiciary. And he was proving that long before Trump showed up.

Well, what about successfully holding up Garland? Are you insinuating that McConnell held the line for Trump's benefit? That notion is seriously laughable. Only those of us at the grass roots level believed Trump stood a chance at winning. Neither Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton (the anointed ones) believed Trump had the remotest opportunity to win. And (once you realize the democrats and republicans are like the Lakers and Celtics ... both owned by the NBA) you will understand that McConnell holding out on the Garland nomination was not for your benefit or mine. It was for the puppetmaster's benefit. McConnell is a puppet. And thankfully the Trump administration is now holding the strings.
