The Republican Establishment is going to fold like a cheap suit.

Probably. But they should not. They need to invoke the name of that hallowed icon of the democrat party: Ted Kennedy. He politicized the appointment process with Robert Bork’s nomination.

We should just play by his rules.

And so there goes the first step towards giving up in the senate.

Yup...roll over and give Obama what he wants.

Why did we vote for a Republican Senate when it made no difference?

Harry Reid would have screwed us over but at least he’s honest about it.

Republicans have no loyalty to their voters and they have the chutzpah to tell us Trump is just as bad as them!

Yup. The surrender has already begun.

Which is the reason for so much GOP voter frustration and the rise of the Great Phony, Trump.

You weren't actually believing they wouldn't give Obama everything he wants as usual did you?

The scumbag who filibustered the Alito nomination is holding a press conference right now, threatening republicans against any delay in confirming his Marxist pick.

Republicans are afraid of how the media will characterize them.

They don’t want to offend any one.

That’s why people like Trump - he really rubs some people the wrong way.

We have pussies in the GOP establishment when we should have lions.

I’m ok with hearings actually, so long as the candidate is voted down in committee and doesn’t reach a floor vote.

Of course!
They like being treated like prostitutes, without even being paid for their services.
