But it is not true. The party that has 50% plus 1 is the party in power. You can either have McConnell or Schumer pushing through the judges. It’s a no-brained; I’ll take McConnell.
With respect to the Senate, if you have a 51R-49D majority and 2 of those Rs are RINOs, the Democrats are the actual voting majority while the GOP gets blamed for all the failures of their pyrrhic “majority.”
Unless your Republicans vote Conservative, all you are doing is electing Democrats under the “R” banner. Not only less than useless, it is self-destructive to the party, and the Democrats benefit from it across the board.
