Wrong, again.

Yes, possibly, for judicial nominations only.

For regular legislation, it is almost impossible to "go nuclear."

That used to be when the moderates were in control. They could smoke and have drinks in the back room....not anymore. Our parties have been taken over by the extremists who never agree. They are more interested in their agenda then our country.

We are talking about nominations in this thread... I guess you didn't understand that and why you have been wrong for so long...

Now you know what Obama did when he won, he is the root cause of all this... in his eight year term, he did not attempt to negotiate or even talk to the other side on ALL things... Trump is not going to concede on several things but he will listen on other topics... the extremists didn't really take over the party... this was always going to happen eventually...

You had McConnell from day one saying that their priority was making Obama a one term president. They had no intention of working with him.

Term Limits! Chukee Schumer does not have the financial wherewithal to successfully run a hot dog stand at Coney Island. Yet he "leads" that other party...over there on the left.

Either way, Gorsuch will be the next supreme court judge despite the childish acts of democrats.

Schumer is just following the lead of Mitch McConnell and the Republicans in blocking votes on candidates for the Supreme Court.

Senator Schumer has his party membership in the Senate to placate, and they want to make the Judge Gorsuch nomination as hard a slog as they can for the Senate Majority Leader.

Do you blame them? I can't.

There, fixed that for ya. Not sure why you keep trying to divert the blame from Trump to Ryan on this mess. From what I've read, no one on this board is buying it. You know people are laughing at you, right? You gotta know.
