IF somehow trump wins the presidency and the Dems take the senate shouldn't the Dems do what the republicans did to obama and what they plan to do to Clinton and stall. Hell, what would they have to lose?

And even if the Dems dont have a majority in the senate, should t they force the republicans to use the nuclear option.

Forget about principle and rules. The republicans never play by them. Why is it that the Dems always have to be the responsible ones and take the higher road.

I bet you if the roles were reversed this year, the Dems would have caved and confirmed a republican president's nominee.

1. You can't fight stupid with stupid.

The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats make decisions based on the merits and for the good of the country. Republicans make decisions based on brand loyalty and for the good of the party.

3. You are correct

They are playing a different game than us and they know it.

It was evident when we had a supermajority in the senate or close to one and still couldn't do shit. But when they had a simple majority they still were able to get everything they wanted.

2. No.

We should try to get moderates appointed.

Honestly, the politics of the courts is wrong and the divide on it is wrong. We should have moderate judges who interpret law and don't interject beliefs.

I think Merrick Garland was a great choice and if Trump won we should try to get moderates.

4. Won't happen

Trump wouldn't appoint a moderate and the republicans wouldn't let him.

5. Won't happen.

They should have done it to George W. Bush* when he was installed in 2000. Oh wait..... 9-11!
Funny how that changed the mindset.
