GOP falling apart over ACA shows the STUPIDITY of the base forcing the NUCLEAR option on GORSUCH [View all] Casprings Jul 2017 OP

If the Dems didn't filibuster Gorsuch Proud liberal 80 Jul 2017 #1

Of course they would have tried.. Casprings Jul 2017 #3

The cards are the same... lame54 Jul 2017 #6

Healthcare and SCOTUS Proud liberal 80 Jul 2017 #9

They would have tried...and they would have succeeded. regnaD kciN Jul 2017 #14

What prevented them form passing ACA.. they had the vote? Casprings Jul 2017 #24

Really?! unc70 Jul 2017 #2

And Gorsuch is not on the SC? What did we get from not saving it? Casprings Jul 2017 #4

Just to run with your suggestion... OnDoutside Jul 2017 #23

Because nothing works better MurrayDelph Jul 2017 #25

It wouldn't matter. The GOP has already signaled that they will install judges anyway they can. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #5

It's a little more complicated Warpy Jul 2017 #8

I understand budget reconciliation Casprings Jul 2017 #12

I know. They played dirty right down the line Warpy Jul 2017 #18

Yes.. and we should be willing to that.. when it makes strategic sense. Casprings Jul 2017 #22

I agree, it would have been better to save that bullet MrPurple Jul 2017 #10

Who's this "we," White Man? (It's a very old TV joke; don't go all PC on me.) WinkyDink Jul 2017 #11

Anyone who doesn't want to see 30 to 40 years of a conservative majority on the SC..that is the "we" Casprings Jul 2017 #13

Yeah, like THAT could have been avoided. Let me introduce you to Mitch McConnell. WinkyDink Jul 2017 #16

Let me introduce you to the fact that Mitch just failed... Casprings Jul 2017 #21

I made this argument. mr_liberal Jul 2017 #15

You have no idea what these 3 Republicans "would have agreed to," ESPECIALLY McCain. WinkyDink Jul 2017 #17

They did it before, Gang of 14, try google. nm mr_liberal Jul 2017 #20

An interesting arguement Kaleva Jul 2017 #19

When the Republicans held up almost every Federal court appointment - yallerdawg Jul 2017 #26

McConnell needs 50 Republicans to vote with him MrPurple Jul 2017 #30

First things first. Blue_true Jul 2017 #27

Of course Casprings Jul 2017 #28

We can pick up Heller's seat in Nevada and maybe take a seat in one more GOP state. Blue_true Jul 2017 #29

That's assuming that the Democrats hold serve on a bunch of seats in red states MrPurple Jul 2017 #31

Montana just re-elected a Democrat Governor and almost put a socialist Blue_true Jul 2017 #32

In 2018 we have a greater than 50% chance to hold onto FL,IN,MI,MO,MT,ND,OH,PA,WV and WI and nkpolitics1212 Jul 2017 #33

That would be nice, but it seems kind of delusional MrPurple Jul 2017 #35

That is far fetched Casprings Jul 2017 #36

1. That's a pretty long shot Casprings Jul 2017 #34

Hopefully, there's another "legitimate rape" Republican that we can support inthe Missouri primaries MrPurple Jul 2017 #46

AZ has specific rules for the Senate replacement BumRushDaShow Jul 2017 #39

The ACA repeal was brought under reconciliation, the filibuster has nothing to do with it. DefenseLawyer Jul 2017 #37

I understand the process is different Casprings Jul 2017 #40

Maybe there's still hope for the Grand Bargain! n/t DefenseLawyer Jul 2017 #41

No there is some chance of success versus no chance with Gorsuch seat. Casprings Jul 2017 #42

Third Way nonsense DefenseLawyer Jul 2017 #43

There is no "third way". It's chance of success versus no chance Casprings Jul 2017 #44

I don't understand why you think we'd be in a better position. If they hadn't ended the filibuster pnwmom Jul 2017 #45
