So undo 230 years of rules because you can't compromise. It wasn't right when Harry Reid did it; it wasn't right when McConnell did it for Trump nominees and it isn't right now.
Our country is forged on compromise. Suspending rules may not even get the 51 votes needed. Right now, there are barely 48. Do you suggest imposing a "40 rule" vote to get your way instead?
Compromise is something that has gone out the window. Both sides are to blame for it and we need to recognize this reality. For the federal government to shut down is ludicrous and the sort of gamesmanship we have seen on the debt ceiling is within the same category.
Recognize this reality: the Republicans have been poisoning the well for forty years. The lack of compromise and level of vitriol is all Republican.
I am a liberal and quite honestly there is plenty of blame to go around.
I’m glad you’re a liberal, but you’re drunk if you think Democrats share an equal amount of blame. Democrats have compromised and compromised to the point that we’re the Charlie Brown to the GOP's football yanking Lucy. Newt. Grover Norquist. Tea Party. Freedom Caucus. Obstructing everything for eight years. Blocking Obama's SC nom. There is ZERO equivalent of any of this on the Democrats' side.

I had the same thought. No way he wants to be stuck in the White House with tens of thousands of pink pussy hats tomorrow. Plus, he has several million cash waiting for him at Mar-A-Lago. He will undersell the GOP to get his hands on that cash.

Sources say Chuck is racing to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. No word on where Tom Cotton is. LOL
Trump gets along with NY'ers. He hates dealing with the Southern good 'ol boys, he finds them slimy.
