I mean, if McConnell doesn't McConnell and Trump puts forward Gorsuch with Garland on the bench, then yeah I could easily see 60-65 votes yes. I fear those days are gone now though. I have a hard time imagining you get easy confirmations any more unless you have both the presidency and the senate. Yep. The Do-Nothing Congress under Obama followed directly by a President who openly mocks people for being weak and conceding, means the idea of bi-partisanship is fucked, probably until a President running specifically on bringing people together wins by a landslide. Who knows how long that will take? I don't see it ever happening. Kasich tried to campaign on that and republicans told him to go kick rocks. Now he's labeled as a RINO even though he's more conservative than Trump. Flake too. Flake got run out of the party and Trump's supporters view him as a traitor and a fake republican based on the fact he sometimes once in a while is critical of Trump and is friends with democrats. That's all it takes to be a RINO in politics now. Trump would have to be soundly defeated in 2020 for any hope of that brand of Republicanism coming back, and I just don't see it. I think this is where we are now. And we're going to be here for a long time. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases?
