Sounds like Chao is part of the Establishment swamp that needs to be drained.


Is that what the Democrats are asserting as their rationale now?

ya gotta be kidding me. Do some of yall have some sort of memory loss of the last 8 years?



he was not in the room when McConnell and Boehner led a meeting in which they pledged to stonewall every single Obama gesture, no matter if it was good bad or indifferent.

The Dems have actually put up a better fight than I expected, given their depleted numbers.





Indeed, but they've gotten some help from Trump's incompetence. Some were held up at least partially because they weren't vetted and cleared by OGE.

But now that I think of it, that probably wasn't incompetence but by design.

And it has been a gigantic unforced error on Shumer's part that has hurt the Dems. They don't have a meaningful scalp because of this obstruction and they look petty and angry. The longer they drag this out the better. The 2018 midterms are going to be a bloodbath for the Dems.

The back of a hammer against the inside of a sack would still be kinda pointy

Actually, Biden put in the rule about no Scotus nominees in a last year of a presidency. Biden did this when he was in the senate.

Trump has not lost a single trump voter. He's gained untold thousands and he's going to have the doj clean the voter roles. Dems are fricked.

You think you would have learned your lesson when you said Trump wouldn't be elected in the first place.

There is no "Biden Rule." There was a Biden speech in late June, 1992 about hypotheticals. But...

Biden's floor speech was on June 25, 1992, more than three months later in the election cycle than it was when a USSC seat came open in 2016.

There was no Supreme Court vacancy to fill at that time.

There was no nominee to consider at that time.

The Senate never took a vote to adopt a rule to delay consideration of a nominee until after the election. So there is no Biden "Rule."
