Trump, who casts himself as a master negotiator, took the first offer from Democrats

[Reck]

Gorsuch isn't Trump's accomplishment, it's McConnell's. McConnell is the one who decided the president doesn't have the authority to attempt to fill supreme court vacancies. McConnell is the one who stole Obama's nomination, not Trump.

Poor Trumpies only card is the Gorsuch one.

And even that wasn't him entirely. It had more to do with McConnell being a snake and holding up Obama's nomination for like an entire year.

He's the only reason we have Gorsuch.

Delaying? You mean stealing the appointment. What's another four years after refusing to have a vote on the president's candidate for one year? McConnell stealing that seat was a huge reason Republicans held their nose and voted for that fat piece of . If there was no open supreme court swing seat Trump would have gone down in flames.

When it comes down to a choice between Hillary and Trump, many Republicans (especially evangelicals) would have voted for Trump just for the Supreme Court - regardless of any open seat - just look at the advanced ages (84, 81, 79 and 80 [Scalia]) of some of the justices. Let's not pretend that if the situation were reversed, Reid wouldn't have done the exact same thing that McConnell did or that some Democrats didn't hold their noses while voting for Hillary. IMO, the election decided who would nominate the next SC justice - not McConnell - he just handed that decision off to the American people. I'm sure McConnell (like all the pollsters, establishment - pretty much everyone including myself) thought that Hillary would win.

It's enough - and will far outlast any fleeting 4 or 8 year presidential term. Gorsuch just turned 50 - hopefully that's 30 years on the SC.

Oh off with your false equivalences. McConnell was the one who did something unprecedented by ignoring the senate's duty to consider nominees to the court. The American people decided who should get to fill that supreme court seat when they elected Obama in 2012 but McConnell could give a , he was nothing but an obstructionist. McConnell won Trump the election with his chicken move.

Yeah, conventional is definitely the word I'd use to describe his partisanship...

Sure it does. You're acting like Donald Trump is just doing what every other President has done when it comes to following the party line. Like George W. Bush was out there calling his predecessor a criminal, calling the media the enemy of the people, and spreading conspiracy theories from InfoWars.

You can't stretch this into some kind of hypocrisy from liberals. He's an idiot, a blowhard, and a weak president, so it's legitimate to chide him for his actions regardless of which "side" it benefits.

But yeah, I know, it's lame to post on the forum about stuff isn't it? What difference are we making?

You chide someone regardless of their decisions, you're not even discussing politics any longer. If he ran for the DNC instead, you'd be blowing him here with every alt you own.

Trash's only priority is himself, that's why he got the debt limit out of the way, to get to huge tax cuts for himself.

Told ya:

Trump's response to Hurricane Irma: 'I'm going to ask for a speed up' on 'dramatic tax cuts'

“We will discussing our plan for dramatic tax cuts and tax reform.

And I think now with what’s happened with the hurricane, I’m going to ask for a speed-up,”

Trump said at the opening of a cabinet meeting at Camp David.

“I wanted a speed-up anyway but now we need it even more so.”

We often joke that the Republican plan for every occasion is to simply demand tax cuts. In the midst of war? Cutting taxes on the wealthy will ease the pain. Health insurance spiraling out of control? Tax cuts for the wealthy will cure what ails. Rampant unemployment? Tax cuts for the wealthy will bring back the jobs. Multiple hurricanes lash the Gulf Coast?

Before the eye of the second one even grazed the coast, it was already tax cut time.
