I hope you're right! Goodbye Pat Toomey, no matter what else happens! My county didn't vote for him last time, and I don't see them going for him this time, either.

GOP is going to steal this election. They can't win otherwise

Only future elections have consequences and only if Republicans win them.

First of all, I gotta say: Every time I see a new pic of that baby, I smile. What a little cutie!

As to the article: there are more than just 2 senators who may lose their jobs because of this obstruction. We only need to win back 5 seats to re-take the Senate, but I guess they haven't thought of the prospect of either Hillary or Bernie nominating a candidate to fill Scalia's seat, but a Senate also controlled by the Democrats! What a bunch of short-sighted idiots the GOPers are!

President Obama has 'em by the short hairs on this issue, just like other issues. Absolutely . . . THANKS OBAMA!

OK, now we need a comedy sketch of Obama nominating Jesus Christ, and the GOP Senators panicking because not confirming him would get them branded anti-Christian. Dear SNL: please get on this!

Mitch believes this president only gets 3/5 of a term.

They're going to accuse him of underhanded tactics no matter what, so why not just go for it?

Sometimes I just want to ask them "if the Democrats all jumped off a cliff, would you too?" But before I do, I haze off into a fantasy of what would happen if all of our elected officially chased one another off of a cliff, allowing us to start fresh....
