In reply to the discussion: Democrats to give Trump Cabinet picks the Garland treatment [View all]CrispyQ
(40,270 posts)62. An excellent post.
They're going to step on our necks and make sure we die.
That's what we should have done. But we have too many gutless corporate cronies in our party. The opportunity only comes around once in a blue moon and we failed to take advantage.
We'll never have that opportunity again. These assholes are going to make sure of it.
Yep. The GOP controls Congress, the White House & many state legislatures across the country. I can barely imagine the damage they will do in two years, much less four. And I don't have confidence the dems can win back the senate in 2018. For all the pre-election chortling on DU about the demise of the Republican party, it appears the the dems are in a much worse place.

Click the buttons on the left hand side and watch the country turn red over the past six years. Personally, I think we're fucked. For good. The repubs will ramp up voter disenfranchisement & will continue to gerrymander the states so the dems never get power again. But hey, we can all feel good that we went high when they went low.
Welcome to DU, btw.

every question is for public-record so Republicans & their president are responsible for any harm.

That would matter only if there was effective public discussion about facts. We need far better MSM

Absolutely spot-on. We should have buried them in 2009. Instead they lived to fight again.

If the people decided this election, and not the electoral college, then Garland would be confirmed.

This isn't just tit for tat; Trump's noms are utterly incompetent and/or cray cray.

So what if it takes a while? Trump bragged how smart he is and how much he knows.
