hypocrites or are actual hypocrites. Calling on Republicans do act consistently is a fool's errand. Christ.

We need everyone in the Democratic caucus on the same page on this one.

...and yes, give that dummy a call.

I called his office in rochester.
Guy said this is 'just the beginning salvo"

I almost laughed in his face. But he was civil and , like a coward, so was I.

...but maybe our Democratic leader can salt the ground before he plants that seed.

That'll show 'em.

...it was effective.

It reminded of both the republican's hypocrisy, and the stolen seat, putting the spotlight on McConnell.

...and he's really just trolling McConnell here.

And anyone who pays attention to more than posts on DU knows that this isn't the entirety of his defense against Trump and this open SC seat.

I've pointed this out to you before, but here's the predictable outrage anyway over a Democrat not saying what you want, when you want them to.

The Dem leader knows well that he has a snowball's chance in hell of holding McConnell to that political ploy the republican leader used to steal the SCOTUS seat from Pres. Obama. It's a good political dig that points up the hypocrisy of the republicans, and reminds of the stolen seat. .

What really bothers me, and you're getting the brunt of it for whatever other nonsense pops up on this thread. There's always this digging at our Democratic leadership. They just can't do anything right, according to some who regularly pop in to tell us how awful they are.

I mean the lectures on politics from these critics... this constant undermining of our own party, this backbiting navel-gazing is the worst of politics, to me.

Don't look now, but it's our Democratic leader's posit that's leading the news at this hour.

Thanks for the rousing speech, Senator! Not.

Between a Presidential election where the President does the nomination vs midyear elections.

...why would voters make that distinction?

McConnell was talking about the republican legislators' prerogative, their obstinacy.

The public hears this as their prerogative, their choice. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference whether they're voting for president, or for someone running for Congress. What they hear is that their voice should matter.
