GOP pulling the "nuke" option could be their undoing... [View all]

It strikes me that when 2020 rolls around: a.) even Trump supporters will be pretty sick of Trump; b.) The new revitalized Trumpcare 2.0 will p*ss off lots of Trump voters (those still alive); c.) McConnell pulling the "nuke" option will make it clear to even the stupid THERE IS NO CHECK ON TRUMP and the GOP - EXCEPT TO GET A RATIONAL DEMOCRAT in the White House to VETO their madness!!!

There will be no more pretense - THEY WILL OWN ALL THE CRAP THAT HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. And it will be more obvious any day the ONLY OPTION is to make Trump a one-term president.

And then...

IF we get more votes in the house and senate - NO FILIBUSTER ANYMORE! (I just hope we don't weasel out and appoint "moderates" to the courts to appease the imaginary moderate Republicans (the ones wearing their swastikas only at home).
