So exactly that is happening now. And all the reasons are bring given, such as the Democrats didn't play fair, etc., so it's only fair . . .
What a cesspool DC has become in the last couple decades! I guess it maybe has been tht for a much longer time, but no one now tries to even hide it. (except to blame the mess on someone else, like Adam is prone to do)
I continue to think the best course of action is for Trump to take the higher road in this, because the Nuclear-Machiavellian option may backfire any way as the GOP having the number of Senate votes appears risky at best. As said in the first post, I think he would gain respect and votes this way, and could then just do the nomination after the November vote.

He should appoint Ted Cruz. Then the whole senate, both pubbies and demmies, would approve it tomorrow. Just to get Cruz out of the senate.
