It is obvious the Democrats aren't helping the Republicans enough. Look at the turnover. It is obvious that Trump is struggling to put together his best team. Maybe he should listen to the Democrats.
Democrats may be giving Trump a hard time on his bad choices. Is it because they are being stubborn or Trump is not doing a good job in vetting his nominations.
Also -- no matter how Trump, Sanders, Trump fans spin this...Trump has yet to nominate a whole bunch of people-- hundreds..that's not on the Democrats -- that's on Trump.
Did you miss the part about unanimous confirmation votes after the stalling tactic?
It must be embarrassing to support a party that substitutes temper tantrums for policies the voters will support.

I agree, and add to the mix the flagrant abuse of tax payer dollars by "all the best people" in Trump's cabinet. The corruption is already out of control. Why hire more of the same by this bottom of the barrel president?
Mark Short, director of legislative affairs, popped into the press briefing to discuss historic obstruction by Dems in confirming nominees which puts national security at risk. All because Schumer has thrown his toys out of the crib and is having tantrums using the Senate cloture process to prevent these nominees from getting new jobs. This is a filibuster. The Senate needs a super majority to get past the motion to proceed which is why it doesn't matter if the Reps are the majority. It's a rule that needs to be abolished. Interestingly, most are finally confirmed unanimously, which proves the process was a waste of time.
Short said the last four administrations in the first term faced a total of 32 cloture votes. The Trump administration has faced 79 in fourteen months. Several key security positions have been waiting 298 days. It's become so ridiculous that even some Dems have had enough stalling and they just want to get on with things.
Short appears in the first fifteen minutes and takes questions from the presstitutes. You will learn a lot.
The Dems are blocking everything Trump as quietly as they can and then in 2020 they will shout from the roof of the capital buildings "Trump couldn't get anything done".
They are blocking Trump and their fellow Dems love it but the rest of the country is realizing that they are nothing but bitter sore losing obstructionists.
They say that Trump is really hurting the GOP but I say the actions of the Dems are really hurting their party.
Don't judge everyone by the past actions of republicans.
Don’t try to deflect. We are not talking about supreme court nominations. We are talking about government posts that are being stalled and obstructed here. Trump’s nominees are being obstructed for record lengths of time. No other administration has had longer wait times. Republican Congress did not delay or obstruct Obama nominees anywhere as long as the hateful Democrats have done to this current administration.

So all confirmations require unanimous votes?
And which vote for you is the most critical being held up.
