The Rs Know They're Going To Lose Badly In Nov

All the grandstanding this week is to set up the continued obstruction in Congress once Hillary is inaugurated. When they lose the Senate, they'll keep obstructing in the House.

They will introduce impeachment papers on Day One. They're headed for oblivion and it's going to get uglier and uglier.

Is to name two or three justices to the Supreme Court it will have been a huge success.

If Dems do not have a clear majority, they could block every nominee. If the Repubs continue to be in the majority, they won't even bother to hold hearings.

We could wind up with a 6 person Supreme Court down the road.

I really wish Barack Obama would be out there every day pounding the Republicans for their failure to consider his nominee. He's just being a bit wishy-washy here.

be making everyone out there understand that the current Senate, at least the Republicans there, are simply not doing their job. By remaining silent on this thing, he's knuckling under to their behavior.

right at the convention, as if this one's already lost and they're looking ahead. Lol. As for uglier and uglier, that has to be their problem as much as possible. It's hardly the way to start rebuilding.
