Well, 13 folded to support higher drug prices, so I don't doubt Gorsuch will be confirmed
"Resistance!", eh?
"Resistance!", eh?
I bet Gorsuch gets confirmed on the backs of at least 8 establishment Democrats, even though the Republicans just spent 9 months holding up Obama's confirmation.a non-binding resolution can increase drug prices?

i'll put $20 on that. i'll give it to tty and he can send it to you if you win (aka we all lose).I bet Gorsuch gets confirmed on the backs of at least 8 establishment Democrats, even though the Republicans just spent 9 months holding up Obama's confirmation.
Wanna make that bet?
I issued the bet yesterday, Schumer came out today saying he'd filibuster Gorsuch's nomination, so that pretty much answers it. You should have taken the bet when I issued it, you would have won.i'll put $20 on that. i'll give it to tty and he can send it to you if you win (aka we all lose).
if i win i'll just give you my address and you can mail it to me.
cloture is on and not a single dem has expressed support so far.
so you're not taking your own bet?I issued the bet yesterday, Schumer came out today saying he'd filibuster Gorsuch's nomination, so that pretty much answers it. You should have taken the bet when I issued it, you would have won.

No, I'm retracting it since Schumer already settled itso you're not taking your own bet?
well i still think it could go either way. there's even a chance that they pass it with the nuclear option.No, I'm retracting it since Schumer already settled it
That's exactly what they're going to dowell i still think it could go either way. there's even a chance that they pass it with the nuclear option.
doesnt matter if Dems fold or hold strong.Well, 13 folded to support higher drug prices, so I don't doubt Gorsuch will be confirmed
"Resistance!", eh?

They won't like that nuclear option when they lose the House in two years.Then why wouldn't they resist, right? If it doesn't matter regardless
No doubt Republicans will invoke the nuclear option to confirm Gorsuch
I don't want to see him confirmed either.well i still think it could go either way. there's even a chance that they pass it with the nuclear option.
the democrats never used the nuclear option to nominate a supreme court justice, and certainly not while their president was under FBI investigation for treason.doesnt matter if Dems fold or hold strong.

What do you think would happen if they do, Gorsuch gets confirmed, then Trump gets impeached? Would Gorsuch's position on the supreme court be revoked?the democrats never used the nuclear option to nominate a supreme court justice, and certainly not while their president was under FBI investigation for treason.
agree on both accountsThen why wouldn't they resist, right? If it doesn't matter regardless

They've demonstrated time and again that they'll stop at nothing to get their way. They keep getting reelected, so they must be right...the democrats never used the nuclear option to nominate a supreme court justice, and certainly not while their president was under FBI investigation for treason.
nah, not how it works. just like we won't have another election even if the whole trump team and even paul ryan go down in flames.What do you think would happen if they do, Gorsuch gets confirmed, then Trump gets impeached? Would Gorsuch's position on the supreme court be revoked?
Do you agree 2018 is absolutely critical for control of the house considering the 2020 census?nah, not how it works. just like we won't have another election even if the whole trump team and even paul ryan go down in flames.
but the stench of corruption from this regime is so overwhelming that it will be all but impossible to ignore in the midterm.
trump will be impeached either when democrats regain control of both chambers, or when paul ryan thinks he can go for the two-fer (pence and trump), or when trump is so toxic that he stains the GOP.Do you agree 2018 is absolutely critical for control of the house considering the 2020 census?
Do you think Trump will be impeached based on the current evidence against his administration?
