Believing that this is going to end well is, well I am at a loss, Half of this once proud country of ours has been stolen by.... I give it 3 weeks tops before the first child is slain in the name of the Almighty Right.
The right?? It isn't the right committing acts of violence, breaking glass, starting fires and beating people with baseball bats.
And I usually don't get into this, but it isn't the right bragging about, and saying they're proud of killing their unborn children.
I think the Democrats would have been much better off if they had showed up to vote, and then let the chips fall as they may. The end result is the same but at least they can argue, if need be, they voted against a nominee should he mess up.
This way, they have nothing but egg on their face.
They really don't seem to be able to pick their battles effectively these days.
This "outrage" of the Day that Schumer and Pelosi are braying about is backfiring on them. They were very vocal that they would Obstruct Everything. They didn't like ANY of the Cabinet Nominees - better to have looked at the field and decided which ones they wanted to target and then act like reasonable human being with the nominees that were CERTAIN to be "confirmed". They began their War on Senator Jeff Sessions, who was always CERTAIN to be confirmed. Everyone had to know that. As time when on with these ridiculous Delays, McConnell worked out that the Delays were going to work to his advantage.
Then I realized this Obstructionist moron Schumer, in his zeal to obstruct - is the reason Betsy Devos will ultimately be confirmed by one vote. That vote? A short term Senator named Jeff Sessions, who will no longer be a Senator with a Vote the minute his vote is not needed - in view of the NeverTrump Obstructionists.
The left shoots themselves in the face again. Chuck Schumer is racking up quite a Record of #Loser.
It appears that they will Double Down and use the same #Loser PlayBook in the Gorsuch Confirmation.
No wonder the Democrats have LOST over 1,000 seats Nationwide, the House, the Senate, Legislatures and the Oval Office.

It's just grandstanding on both sides. The Dems can't do anything to stop any of these confirmations, they must have known that if they boycotted the Repubs would suspend the rules, maybe hoping it will make GOP look bad.
Just wondering - are any of these cabinet nominees really so awful that no Democrat would vote yes, or so wonderful that no Republican would vote no? Whenever I see strict party line votes I feel that these politicians are putting party above country.
"the Dems can't do anything to stop any of these confirmations, they must have known that if they boycotted the Repubs would suspend the rules,"
I know a lot on the right are all giddy about this, but truly....this is not going to end as well as you folks hope long term. Politics swings back and forth between the two parties.
............ As the Democrats are ruefully discovering.................
And the Republicans acted like brats by not confirming Obama's choices. Toddler like behavior happens on both sides of the aisles.
"by not confirming Obama's choices."
PSST! There is NOTHING in the Constitution that say they HAVE to confirm ANYBODY.
You may want to check history to find out how many times nominees have NEVER gotten a vote.
Both Biden and Shumer said they would DO THE EXACT SAME THING IF W. BUSH NOMINATED SOMEONE IN HIS Last year in office.
