See, I think that’s one of the stupidest things they’ve done through all of this! Why are they announcing that? I believe both sides are tired of nothing getting done. Even if obstruction is their only play, they should keep it to themselves.
Kind of like how they’d have looked better if they’d held hearings but refused to confirm, rather than announce up front, “We won’t even hold hearings!”
This behaviour makes them appear, embarrassingly, like petulant children, I think!
Not the Republican base. They actively want a do-nothing Federal government as long as a Democrat is in the White House, and they’ll vote in any candidate who promises to oppose Clinton absolutely regardless because they see the Democrats as actively destroying the country. As long as the Democrats win Presidential elections, the President should be kept as powerless as possible, as an issue of basic morality.
Yes, this is blatant hostage-taking. The more intelligent Republicans currently in office know they’ll get primaried from the right if they break ranks with it, and the new Republicans either believe it or know they have to appear to believe it in order to have a chance in their primaries.
The only tonic is getting Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents to vote in midterms.
Well, in a certain sense, **elbows **is right, Republicans *are *tired of nothing getting done. They are waiting for a Republican to have the Oval Office, so they can finally stop obstructing Democratic presidents.
So is r/babyelephants. Also very interesting in seeing how intelligent they are in and how they work as a group in some of the posts. Not very active, though.
Is this election going to be high turnout or low? Should be high, but then again plenty of people are turned away by the negatives of both Clinton and Trump, so it could be offset by all the folks staying home.
But with the lots of early voting gone on, maybe we’re looking at around 63% turnout, pretty high?
They’re signaling something to a specific constituency who wants this exact petulant behavior. And they know that there’s another constituency who will still with them despite it.

Trump was just rushed off stage due to some sort of disturbance in the audience.
He’s back now.
This made me laugh. Thanks for that. ![]()
Bolding mine.
I’m disappointed. This election has turned me into a shitty person.
Oh the irony of there being an outrage over a chance of a gun at a Trump rally.
I admit had really high hopes for the RNC convention. Guns make everyone safer, right? Especially people standing near RW patriots carrying guns.
It’s abundantly clear if everyone there had guns, nothing like this would happen. Only that everybody thinks you’re the assassin.
Waiting for more detail on Trump rally disturbance. Hearing both “assassination attempt” and “false flag” from commenters and it’s really, really irritating. Some new sites saying “assassination attempt” too, but not providing evidence.
I don’t want to see anything happen to him other than him losing the election.
I don’t even want to think about the reaction in this country if something did happen.
Hillary Clinton is the crooked candidate? This article is a perfect example of how the Republicans have been able to take their own flaws and paste them on the Democrats. Donald Trump's Companies Destroyed Emails in Defiance of Court Orders
I don’t want him hurt either. The fact that I had that one fleeting thought makes me feel like shit.
I am sooo going to drink Tuesday night. ![]()
Being reported that no gun was found at Trump rally in Nevada. Hope this is correct. Obviously, the secret service has to react when someone call out “gun,” though.
