Just don’t mess this up, it should be a layup. But then again, so should beating a demented candidate.
I think the GOP chorus right now should be to demand Biden face multiple freewheeling press conferences with all reporters able to ask tough questions.
The American people deserve it.
With all due haste...Confirm Her !!!!
What the heck ?
Get the ball rolling now !!!
Agreed but I dont know the ins and outs of these procedures.
I think more of a Hooker, a Burnside or a Premberton. Didn’t McClellan actually win at Antietam?
“Didnt McClellan actually win at Antietam?”
No, it was a draw. Lee, greatly outnumbered, fought McClellan to a standstill, and at the end of the fight both forces withdrew.
Most historians call it a Pyrrhic Union victory because it prevented the south from advancing any further until the following year.
Thanks for the explanation.
:)
“Most historians call it a Pyrrhic Union victory because it prevented the south from advancing any further until the following year.”
Yes, as a strategic battle it would fit the definition of a Pyrrhic victory, but as a tactical battle it was a draw. It was a very pivotal fight in the War, and how it ended meant that the War would go on. The next such pivotal battle was Gettysburg, almost a year later, and THAT battle arguably cost the Confederacy the war.
But Antietam was interesting, because McClellan (who had discovered Lee’s battle plan) resorted to his usual timid self and blew it. Lincoln replaced him soon after.
Congressman Matt Gaetz tore into Graham for starting the process on Oct 12th
Just another example of Graham stonewalling in hopes of not getting Barrett confirmed before the election.
I was gobsmacked when I saw him announce the 12th
Anything to make things harder for Trump and our Constitutional Republic.
No wonder LG is not getting enough money for his campaign.
McClellan was a Democrat, and ran against Lincoln in ‘64 on a platform that the war was unwinnable. Patton, Linda is not, but he’s also no McClellan. He was overcautious to the point of idiocy or perhaps cowardice. Linda is a tad cowardly at times, but he does have fire in his belly, as he showed with Kavanaugh. Perhaps, if we’re comparing him to union generals, he’s Meade, capable on a rudimentary level, and under the right conditions he can deliver great victories. I think the Dems are heading into a Picket’s charge. With or without this nomination succeeding, they’ve turned off Catholics big time.
Doug Jones, Alabama Chris Coons, Delaware Dick Durbin, Illinois Ed Markey, Massachusetts Gary Peters, Michigan Tina Smith, Minnesota Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire Cory Booker, New Jersey New Mexico (incumbent Tom Udall retiring) Jeff Merkley, Oregon Jack Reed, Rhode Island Mark Warner, Virginia
If the voters are going into the election one week after the dems have made complete fools of themselves, perhaps more than the four can be flipped and give the (R) a 60+ majority again. I'm no fan of McStain's pet Grahamnesty, but adopting a "wait and see" approach.
Not at all worried about any Biden "surge"...the guy has zero ground game, can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
Exactly.

Because Barrett’s never, ever, been mentioned for years as the likely nominee to replace RGB... who had been dying from pancreatic cancer for over a year...
The die was cast for a rematch two years later when the course of the war would turn the politics strongly in Lincoln's favor. But people tend to forget just how unpopular the war was in what remained of the Union.
Dems and the left to go crazy publicly Just before the election and cause an absolute route on Nov 3rd.
Why did he reinstitute the Pink Slip rule, why does weeks pass without a single judge being approved? Why, why indeed?
And will Trumps Covid test change things? If ACB or a group of senators have to quarantine, or worse, if any get real sick?? We cant afford any delays here.

Next up, a few senator’s claim to have Corona, vote for SCOTUS needs to be delayed....
They are gonna steal this right under our noses.
