[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all Obama's fault for being so arrogant and high handed while in office.  This is not political, it's personal .   McConnell is giving Obama a kick in the ass on his way out the door and there's not a damn thing he can do about it.   This is a great big FU to Obama who has certainly earned it.   "I have a pen" he says if Congress doesn't do what he wants.  Well McConnell shoved that pen right up Obama's ass.   It showing the whole world that the master bullshiter Obama has no political skill at all when it comes right down to it.

Merrick Garland is a feckless ticket puncher who had to know Obama was just using him as a stalking horse, yet his ego wouldn't let him refuse a doomed from the start nomination.

For all if you whiny cry babies who say the Senate MUST hold hearings....there is no requirement that they do so on Obama's timetable.  Face reality McConnell won, the left Lost.[/quote]

Obama Derangement at it's finest.

The Obama was arrogant argument is such a false narrative.

And good luck, dipshit, when you have Hillary in office.[/quote]Excuse me do you think McConnell is stupid and doesn't realize Hillary could potentially nominate someone even more liberal?  That's how you know it's PERSONAL.  And it's personal because of Obama's snide, condescending, supercilious approach.   "I won get over it" guaranteed to cause bad blood, completely unnecessary
  Pols have LONG memories and this is payback.[/quote]

I'm sure there is personal animus there, but I don't think this decision by McConnell is purely personal, I think it's very political. The GOP knows it's likely to have an uphill battle in the general election, and given historical trends for how Senate elections tend to follow Presidential elections, he knows that the election of a Dem president greatly increases the odds that the Republicans lose the Senate at the same time as well. They need the Supreme Court as a very current issue to try to galvanize their full base, because they know that Trump or Cruz as the nominee isn't going to do it.[/quote]

Nope.  McConnell figures if he's going to lose the white house and Senate, this is his last parting shot at Obama.  It s purely personal.[/quote]
