Yeah. They seem so wound up about Trump that they forget how brutal the 2018 Senate map is. Legolas Send a noteboard - 28/03/2017 09:58:50 PM

View original postEven if it would change the balance they have no grounds stopping the nomination. They were idiots for being the first to use the nuclear option. Living in echo chambers they just can't accept that they really only have power in a few large states and are not likely to control the senate anytime soon.

Best case scenario, even if the 2018 elections are a resounding success, seems to be limiting damage in the Senate, potentially shifting the House and winning enough in the states that they can limit the gerrymandering damage in 2020. Actually controlling the Senate - maybe if they win the 2020 presidential election, but that would require nominating a candidate who can win, and I'm not so sure about that, looking at it now.

Personally I prefer Gorsuch to Garland. And I've read the Constitution. The Shrike - 28/03/2017 06:02:03 PM 684 Views
