Why wait till now to use that nuke when you had 2 years to use it .?? I'd love to hear your answer to that

a lot of conservatives are upset trump waited this long. But the fact is, your side used the nuclear option when it suited them, and now the other side controls the senate. if you don’t like the use of the nuclear option, cry to Harry Reid.

Jim you can try to spin it anyway you want ...

1st he was willing to sign the bill w\out the wall funding his base flips and then he flips

2nd spineless ryan sends something to the senate he knows won't pass but has what Trump wants in it

3rd trump knows he is losing and will never see anything from the house again Try's to influence the senate to change the rules ... not for the country but for his self image

Face it you have said it before you dont care what he does if you get what you want ... seems this just follows that thinking

Again not even close to what happened in 2013 but once again you love to act as if they are the same



April 2017, Senate Republicans led by Mitch McConnell extended the nuclear option to Supreme Court nominations in order to end debate on the nomination of Neil Gorsuch

As of November 2018, a three-fifths majority vote is still required to end debates on legislation.

i’m not spinning anything for christ’s sake, i’m stating fact. Harry Reid invemted the idea of using the nuclear option, and if he was assuming the gop would
never again control the senate and that it could
never be used against democrats, we’ll tough cookies for them.

i am tucked trump waited this long. not only am i not offended he wants to use the nuclear option, it would
be asinine for
him not to do it. Why should
o let the democrats be able to avail
themselves if this tactic?

any chance, any chance at all, you could
answer that question?

They don’t have the votes to do it
Flake, Alexander and Hatch have all said no to the nuclear option

PS the GOP already used it for neil gorsuch (another theft against normal )

Again keep hiding from the real reason Trump wants them to change the rules .... and ignore the timing .... unlike you I dont operate because dems did it then the GOP did it makes it fair game. to do it whenever you dont have the votes.... it's wrong period reguardless of party!!

both parties have bitten that poison apple once

I have respect for thoses who wish not to travel down that road ..

several Senators put out statements confirming their opposition, and confirming that there is not a majority in the conference to go down that road,”

shocking

The Don is now looking for a legal (like he really pays attention to what is or isn't) way to get rid of Jerome Powell, because his moves the Don is convinced are messing up the market. Must be that and not the trade war, the worries about the economy slowing, the Don knows what's best for the family. His window to profit over his moves is a short one, so he needs to pay attention (I know that too is a challenge) to what is happening in the financial sectors.
