historic Obstruction my ass.....

2 words ; Merrick Garland.

Basically the bastard is trying to screw Dem senators up for re-election from preventing them campaigning.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Yep, personally I wonder when people are going to FUCKING EXPLODE

[MANative]

2. I'm very close to a breaking point.

I fear the amount of self-medicating that will be necessary to prevent a .

[Frustratedlady]

3. The Democrats need to shout this over and over and over again...

That's what the Republicans do...repeat, repeat, repeat.

He couldn't care less about what Congress gets done. They are going to hit with all barrels from all sides. Beware of every damned thing they do.

4. This was predicted months ago

Has nothing to do with obstruction. McConnell wants to limit the time the vulnerable Democratic Senators have to campaign at home for their reelections. This way, the Republican challengers have a campaigning advantage.

[Maraya1969]

7. But doesn't that go both ways and the Dem challengers also get an advantage?

[Freethinker65]

10. Something like 35 seats to be voted for and 26 are currently held by Democrats

Many of those Democratic Senators are considered vulnerable. The Democrats would like to hold those seats plus pick up at least two from the Republican side

[Maraya1969]

12. It seems to me that the campaign managers need to be making some really

effective television ads that will run while the Democratic Senators are in session.

Ads that harp on how the Republicans are responsible for the deaths of our American children at the hands of firearms.

Ads that harp on how this administration is holding children seeking asylum in cages at the border.

Ads that explain how hurtful the Republicans have been.....there are so many things that they have done.

We need to get people to want to vote for Democrats because they know that Democrats are the only ones who will stop these atrocities. And that can be done.

[Demsrule86]

14. No. Incumbents have a better chance but we have some tough red state battles in

West Virginia, Montana, Missouri etc. And we have a number of open seats that could tip our way with some work...the GOP is afraid we could win hence the knee capping.

[FBaggins]

13. Not hard to predict because they did it last year too

Democrats traded away votes on nominees at that point... and didn't even have races to run.

5. C'mon, Cocaine Mitch, it's not like you GrOPers are going to actually do anything.

You haven't done a single thing since 1994 when you put a contract out on America.

[lpbk2713]

6. Oh bullshit.

Pot and frying pan.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

8. Why should we worry about winning elections? It looks like IQ45 and Turtle think we're in control.

Otherwise, why would they blame everything they can't accomplish (passing destructive legislation, like killing the ACA) or everything they fuck up (like separating kids from their mothers) on the Dems?

Last time I looked, the Repukes were the majority party. Worse still, they and their Great Leader believe that "my way or the highway" is considered the only way to govern. The word "compromise" isn't even in their lexicon.

If Donnie Two Scoops thinks the Dems are obstructionists as a minority party, wait until (hopefully) they control one or both of the houses of Congress, especially the Senate. Then he'll see what obstructionism means.

9. Republicans are about to go nuts.

They know the loss of power is right around the corner and they are going to do everything possible to security more "wins". What will make it extremely onerous is that they are in a position where they will have to pay off their more extreme members for votes. Ryan and McConnell are backed into a corner.

[Mr. Ected]

11. Sure wish Mueller would unveil his indictment against Mitch about right now

Tired of the inmates running the prison.

15. This need to

BackFire on his Chickenshit ass.
