Trigger Happy

Sheesh, Donald, you might wait  24 hours or so to see how things play out before losing it.
I think that McConnell would be smart to do just that, wait. The Demos are really going to struggle to get the votes to sustain a filibuster. And, there is more than a little speculation that the dems would suffer by trying it. Spend a few days talking up Gorsuch's credentials so that people see  you as cool-headed, and the opposition as being pigheaded, before you go nuclear.

Anybody wonder how Trump would handle a real nuclear situation?


Trump urges Senate GOP to trigger 'nuclear option' on Gorsuch nomination

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Senate Republicans should "go for it" and invoke the so-called nuclear option, preventing Democrats from using a filibuster to block his Supreme Court nominee.

"If we end up with that gridlock I would say if you can, Mitch, go nuclear," Trump said of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "That would be an absolute shame if a man of this quality was caught up in the web."

"It's up to Mitch, but I would say go for it," Trump added.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
