    That, and the GOP held the House for 8 years and had to fight their own Freedom Caucus to pass basic debt ceiling/budget extensions with Democratic votes. Either you stay in the minority which is no fun with House rules or you have a tiny majority owned by the Freedom Caucus again.

      Plus even if you are a racist troll you dont want to be branded us such and purged when the backlash hits. Better to reire so later you dont look like a loser and later on when doing the talk show circuit you can present yourself as a man of honor. Its a tale as old as time.

        if the democrats take the white house what are the chances MoscowMitch would block all supreme court nominations at ANY time during the new president's first term?

            Of course he wouldn't. They set very clearly what the rules were back in 2016 and there's no way they would continue to add clauses that help only them.

                It’s 100. He’s already admitted the rules aren’t consistent. I don’t think he would ever consider a nomination from a dem president.
                Get the senate back.

                  It's basically a given, unless the Dem nominates conservatives.

                      Garland was a moderate. At this point they're basically going to have to nominate 50 year-old Gorsuch clones to get anyone past Itch.

                        Moscow Mitch will never confirm another Democratic nominee. We will need the Senate from now on. This is why when we gain the Senate we need to create at least 2 new SCOTUS seats to compensate for Gorsuch. Fairer would be two more to compensate for the other Russian nominee, Kavanaugh.

                        We should do the same to compensate for all federal bench slots that have been filled by Russian nominees.

                        The GOP is playing with live ammunition. Opposing them with tea and crumpets is why the public thinks we are pu-sies.

                              I'm just so surprised that Republicans can change the rules whenever they want and they can take advantage of the rules whenever they want. Just so surprising cause the Democrats can never do that.

                                Am I missing the part about what's the point, since if he tries to get this by the Dem House Nancy is going to put a heel in Lindsey's back side?
