First of all, Chuckie ... Billy Jeff Clintoon has some soothing words for your sadness ... "I feel your pain!" As for me, all I have to say is "BWHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!"
Secondly, Chuckie ... ya gotta ask yourself ... WWHRD? That would be What Would Harry Reid Do? Oh hell yeah ... you know the answer to that one ... 'cuz ol' Harry - YOUR Harry - is the one who first used the nuclear option in the Senate on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments. So, if McConnell follows the example of your beloved Harry Reid - consider yourself NUKED.
Third, consider these words from lil' Barry Soetoro ... "Elections have consequences - and at the end of the day, I won." Hmmm ... at the end of the day, more Republicans were elected to the U.S. Senate than Democrats ... so, the consequences are that, if the Republican Senators pull together and decide to confirm President Trump's nominee to replace Justice Kennedy before the November 2018 elections, then that nominee will be the next justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
