"I got nuthin, Mika!"

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) stated that Senate Democrats “don’t have the power” to play “hardball” on the nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski asked, “[W]hat is the gameplan? And you are saying you don’t think you should play hardball the way the Republicans did?”
Durbin answered, “Well, we don’t have the power. I mean, if we had the power and the authority to make those decisions, it’s one thing. But under the rules — under the rules with Justice Gorsuch, in a matter of three months or so, he went from being nominated by the White House to being approved by the United States Senate. In the meantime, there was vetting, investigation, hearing, questions, votes in the committee, consideration on the floor. But it was on a path where the majority controlled the outcome, and at this point, we don’t have the majority.”

Ain’t that just too bad.
lol
Look out when Durbin is the sane dem.
Three cheers for the GOP primary voters of 2016 and for the general election voters of 2016. That was the biggest win for freedom in decades.
so “elections have consequences” after all, eh?
Aw, that’s a shame.
Yep, elections have consequences.
Oh, those poor, POOR Democrats! Hoist on their own petard!
ROFLMAO!
Durbin is the sane dem at least this time. What will it be next time? Patty Bin Murray is found to have two functioning brain cells?
In the next election the GOP should pick up about 5 Senate seats.
Yep, and thems the breaks!
Oh well DICK! The answer may be to lurch the DNC right over the socialist cliff.
yep! Thank You Dingy Hairy for setting the stage.
Moonbat cocktails for everybody!
To quote that great American Obama - “We won, you lost, sit down and shut up”
Karma is a bitch.
If you think they’re depressed now, just wait ‘til Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg buys the Animal Farm.
Durbin is the same democrat.
Two days after an unemployed socialist barkeep beat Pelosi’s nbr 4 democratic white male.
I believe the quest stands on the edge of a knife just like described in “Lord of the Rings”.
Three minutes worth watching.
God bless.

It is the Republican senators who make me worry. Corker, Collins, Flake, and McCain would love to sabotage Trump.
