The Repubs changed the rules and will soon face its consequences.
It would be interesting to see that thrown back in the R's faces.

I don't support that kind of childish maneuver (it was insanely childish), but I can't say I'd be that upset to watch them throw a fit about it.

Correct. GOP will add several seats. Dems have a horrible map in 2018, defending 2 dozen seats, 5 where BO lost states twice.

I am hoping GOP gets on edge of a Supermajority in 2018.

I think there's a WHOLE generation FORGET just why "Roe vs Wade" got passed!! Prior to that passing law.. FAR too many went to butchers ( supposed MD's).. and more often than not were left to die due to such horrendous medical practice!! Whenever a women becomes so desperate to end a pregnancy.. Desperation will lead to DEATH of the mother as well as the embryo /fetus!

Planned parenthood and their decades of assistance and education NEVER mind learning and having access to BC!! State ( Red ones) want to bar access to BC.. so guess what the repercussion is!! Pregnancies due to RAPE and Family planning disabled!! Defunding Planned Parenthood will do nothing but cause births that the Taxpayer refuses to support.. YET demand THEY GET born .. How Hypocritical can they get???

...and y'all are fond of mocking how Hillary was supposedly a shoe-in 100%. Not good to assume there's no way....although I guess it's helpful if y'all (general) do assume and get lazy about it.

My view is based on that disgust with Trump will be cresting by 2018. The political map is not favorable to the Dems, but 2018 may be year when all anti-Trump forces come together.

Yay, more Citizens United to further destroy the country. Conservatives are experts at destroying people's lives.

Yeah. Personally I hate the idea of abortions, don't tell people to get them, etc. But repeal would not make them go away. Just look at Prohibition. People still drank and we got crimes added to boot.

Three is certainly a possibility, and don't be surprised if that does happen during the four-year term. As for the OP's mention of Graham saying that we could have four new justices, it's pushing it, but if it happens, it'd be in a possible Trump second term.

That's only your view, but it's not one of millions of others who are pleased with President Trump and the country's recovery. He got us Gorsuch. Stay tuned for more.
