Yup. Mitch sweetened the pot for him. He might even give him a committee assignment that is not a joke.

Gave him a chance to earn his way- partially- out of the persona non grata penalty box.

I guess being out in Siberia after disgracing himself has not been a happy time for him. Plus his own constituents in Utah think he is a dink.

Mitt Romney voted to remove Trump from office but believes he should nominate a SCOTUS Justice for a lifetime appointment? Alrighty then!

It must suck to be a dem right about now. If repubs get this done, the dems are fucked for the foreseeable future regardless of their delusional empty threats. Just remember libtards that for the rest of your life that is was Trump that fucked you with no Vaseline. LOL

Democrats largely powerless to stop GOP from confirming Trump’s court choice

Senate Democrats and their liberal allies confronted the grim reality Monday that they have no path to blocking President Trump’s pending Supreme Court nomination other than a political pressure campaign that peels away a minimum of four GOP votes.

Deep into their sixth year in the minority, Democrats can use some procedural tactics that might briefly slow the confirmation process, but if at least 50 Republicans approve of Trump’s pick to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, that nominee is certain to be seated.

Wait till Stephen Breyer retires, he is 82 years of age isn't he? President Donald Trump can appoint another US Supreme Court justice to replace him.

I think Trump should just go ahead and announce Breyer's replacement too while he is at it.

To Mittens, impeachment was personal, this is just business

Sometimes you have to take a loss with dignity and maximize where gains can be made.

The public knows the GOP senate is running a scam on them with judges and by a 2:1 margin want the winner of the election to fill the open seat because the first and foremost ramifications are going to be on healthcare. The only way to ensure continued protections for pre x is a Democrat senate and president. That right there is a nationwide winning issue democrats need to hammer home.

Democrats should not get caught up in a knock down drag out fight on something they cannot stop. They need to focus on the here and now.

Republicans will gladly pay even the worst electoral price immediately for short term loses because in the long run this is a bad deal for democrats - this is not saying republicans will automatically lose across the board in 2020 either, just that the ebb and flow of elections tends to transfer power pretty consistently.

Condensed version: Usual Tard and his ilk just took it up the arse from Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell.

* based on an online poll where it also found:

"The poll found that 30% of American adults said that Ginsburg’s death will make them more likely to vote for Biden while 25% said they were now more likely to support Trump. "
​

Uh huh. Ginsburg's death actually made 55% people more likely to vote one way or the other.
