Democrats are mulling an audacious plan to bottle up President Trump's nominee to head the State Department in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - even though Mike Pompeo likely has enough votes to win confirmation on the Senate floor.
The plan under consideration would involve Democrats on the panel refusing to vote to discharge Pompeo from the committee with even an unfavorable recommendation.
This would force Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to offer a motion to bring Pompeo's nomination to the Senate floor. Democratic senators and aides say that motion would be subject to a filibuster, allowing Democrats to block Pompeo.

A good reason to can the filibuster.
Guess they are unhappy about his American success with NoKo.
Mitch can go nuclear.
Mitch went nuclear with judges because Dingy Reid set the precedent.
Mitch can set precedent with Presidential appointments.
What is wrong with Pompeo? Why do they want to block him?
It’s time for Trump to make his own rules
The dems can sink in their own swamp pit. They have done enough .. and the public opinion will be on Trumps side.
The media is miscalculating the public..
Trump can use the constitution and make it serve his purpose.. the left has torn it to pieces.
There may be some problems with his military resumé.
He's pro-life for one thing. They hate that even though it has little, if anything, to do with being SOS.
Take just one look at how the DemonRats are conspiring to stop his appointment as Secretary of State. THAT'S how I know.
He isn’t a lunatic LIB as they all are.
They dont want Trump to have any success and n Korea would be a huge deal..
That’s my question. Why are they willing to pay the price that it will be to continue blocking him?
Communists of a feather stick together
The hate his Christianity.
That’s easy, he is a Republican that supports Trump.
Here is what America will get:
Yes, but they are paying such a high price.
Clearly this isnt about Pompao, its about the Democrats and the DC establishments hatred of the nonestablishment Trump and working to make him a failed president.
There won’t be a price and they know it. They are doing it out of spite and because they can. No other reason. Democrats never pay a price for the crap they pull.
Bingo.
Mitch better grow a set and get this done.
