I wonder if Mitch regrets his Supreme Court rigging?

[LeftInTX]

What did Mitch want from his rigged SC?

Business friendly
Pro private education
Assurance of elections of future Republicans

What did he get? Ted Cruz on steroids

1. It all depends on how this plays out. If certain votes aren't counted we are screwed

[ecstatic]

16. Exactly! Nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. If not, we need to make sure cocaine Mitch does regret it!!

[Buckeyeblue]

3. Mitch doesn't regret anything

His strategy is always to push as far as he can. He doesn't let up. And he doesn't worry about consequences. For people like Mitch, consequences are minor inconveniences that will pass with time.

Frankly, I wish we had a leader as determined as Mitch.

[Locrian]

10. exactly

He knows at the very least they respect power as much as he does.
He also knows that it energizes people when they win - even if its in the long run against their interests.

Any "problems" are just minor changes in direction to adjust, but with momentum to keep hammering away.

[Buckeyeblue]

12. Sometimes we focus too much on the small losses

And not enough on the overall big picture.

For instance the gun debate over the last 30 years has cost us more votes than any other position/issue. We should have triangulated the gun debate. It's a worse issue for democrats than the war on drugs has been for Republicans.

I realize with recent (in the last 30 years) mass shootings this seems tone deaf. But had we not let guns be a wedge issue for all of these years we would have put ourselves in a better position to address the problem today. We would have a different SC and we might control more state legislatures.

I think with Roe being reversed we really need to refocus our efforts on equality. Not just racial, reproductive and sexual orientation but also economic. Urban and rural.

We can't undo the past but we can influence the future.

15. Oh so disagree that Roe and the new gun law are small deals.

These re huge and many Americans will die because of that and our crime will skyrocket and overall economic health die but the rich will make out like bandits and that is exactly the point of all their decisions - Christofascists that the 6 are.

[Buckeyeblue]

17. I'm talking in general. Roe is very big. Bigger than guns for sure.

Roe is a huge loss. My point is did we ultimately lose Roe because of guns. Would we have been better off not spending that energy and political capital?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. Time for the Duo of DOOM to give Mitchie a visit.

Karma and her Brother, the Grim Reaper.

I have a long list for the both of them of others to pay a visit to.

[gab13by13]

4. Why?

Mitch will still be Minority Leader with a chance to be Majority Leader in 2024 when a lot of Democratic seats are up.

Mitch is a mini Trump, he only cares about himself.

[FBaggins]

5. Nope

Anything else been nagging at your wonderings lately?

[MichMan]

6. He could have given Garland a vote and just voted him down instead

Same end result

[Raven123]

7. Mitch has exactly what he wants. Money

[doc03]

8. That POS has no heart or soul. As long as they don't come after interracial

marriage.

[Lovie777]

9. Simple answer is hell no . ... ..

[kentuck]

13. He regrets that he doesn't get any credit for it.

It is the Trump Court - no the McConnell Court.

[Pobeka]

14. It's impossible to feel regret when you are amoral. nt

[Autumn]

18. Why would anyone think that Mitch would regret his supreme court rigging?

He got what he wanted and fucking republicans love assholes on steroids. You ever listened to what he says?

[LeftInTX]

19. Thanks for your responses and insight

Was hoping that he wouldn't try anything as crazy in the future
Guess it was wishful thinking
