Senate Republicans unilaterally changed the committee rules to jam through Trump nominees Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin without Democrats being present.

The Hill reported, “Senate Republicans pushed through a pair of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees Wednesday, upending standard committee rules to circumvent a Democratic boycott….By unanimous consent, the Republicans gathered in the hearing room agreed to change the committee’s standing rules, which normally require at least one member of each party to be in attendance for committee work to proceed.”

Senate Republicans violated the intentions of the Founding Fathers by silencing the minority voice and turning the Senate into a body that acts unilaterally.

Democrats have serious questions about Tom Price habit of using his legislative position to benefit in the stock market, and Mnuchin’s handling of foreclosures while he was running OneWest Bank during the financial crisis.

2. Here is a thought - if the republicans do not support this POS in the WH

the POS could very well threaten to expose them - you know how he likes to lie..but then, the repubs actions are suspect....look what the POS did to all the republican candidates....just sayin'

3. Because they are strong and we are weak. I'm sorry but

I am getting really pissed at the Democratic Party. They just don't know how to message. They still think logic and appealing to people's "good senses" works against these guys. They just are going to keep losing. We need a new path and new blood in this party. Somebody that plays hardball all the time.

There, my rant is over....

4. The Problem!

The problem as I see it, is that the Democrats in Congress, actually believe that any Republican is their friend!

5. I loved Obama with everything I had but

He wasted years trying to work with these guys and they spit in his face. He finally got tougher on them and they cried like babies. The Right are the true "snowflakes"
