2020 Election is Over----Dems just don't realize it yet.

A little of both. It was decided by Mitch. But he acted knowing that that from a sheer parliamentary point of view he could- in theory- be overruled by various procedures in theory- except he knew the votes were not there to do that.

If the majority of republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee disagreed with Mitch they could have still voted Garland's nomination out on to the floor or to hold hearings anyway, but they all went on record as supporting Mitch so there was no play there. And they went on record before the nomination was even referred to them. And in theory, the full Senate can vote something out on to the floor even if a committee votes to kill it but the dems did not have the votes to do that either. But then again, how do you get a nomination even referred to a committee if the speaker won't allow it. It can be done but requires lots and lots of votes by the full senate. Easier said than done.
Here's the issue though----McConnell puts the folks on the committee, so they don't go against him-----The Senate is a one man operation---make no mistake.

So B1 is wrong then....?
I didn't think one person has complete control. But that's exactly why I posted the question.... because I found it funny how a state like California, with a trillion people, can be held to the political whims of the voters in KY.

Good stuff.

“We did make history this evening,” he said. Republicans have not flipped a House seat in California since 1998.


The win is in a district that Trump will need to once again win big if he hopes to again carry Wisconsin, a state he won by less than a point in 2016. "Any time you lose by 14 points, I don’t think that’s a moral victory,“ Tiffany said. “This is a decisive victory here.”

Massive victories in these states. While President Trump may not carry California, it ain't gonna be a 3 million Dem win either. --We may gain House Seats---and that's important.

Make no mistake----both the House and Senate are ruled by one person each. --and one person solely makes the decisions.

President Donald Trump endorsed Garcia, a businessman and Navy veteran who has never before held political office. Smith, a state assembly member, had been endorsed by a number of prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

A while ago I heard old Leon Panetta- former clinton chief of staff and defense and cia directors under Obama- being asked some questions about what he thought about some of the flynn stuff, the unmasking, the fbi misconduct and all of that.

So Leon says "I think that people should be focusing on the number one problem in the country right now which is the virus and not looking at all those things."

FUNNY DAT!!!!!!

Mr. Durham be lookin' at you too.
 
If the Dems were to win control of The White House and of Congreff this fall, the country is over.
Anyone voting for Biden or any Dem is Un-American and Anti-American. Period.
