Alright guys, it's time for some game theory:

In the long run it's better for Dems if McConnell nukes the filibuster. DUCY? I'll let others elaborate.

I don't think they will either but he could nominate whoever the hell he wants to after the nuke. Barron trump. Why not?

Maybe I think of **** like this too much because I know that's what they are capable of.

He should nominate Howard Stern. He did great as a judge on America's Got Talent. Make America Talented Again!

He says UK is also host to a lot of people like you who try to silence the debate. Tony Blair wanted to rub the right's nose in multiculturalism, when in 1997 he opened the borders and tried to get UK as multicultural as possible, without any proper vetting. Sadiq Khan, the muslim mayor of London, says terrorism is now an expected part of living in a big a city. It wasn't before and it shouldn't be.
I live in the UK, saying Unicorns is real is more true than Katie Hopkins comments, just hop on a plane and see how ridiculous it is. Its an absolute 100% non reality and your counter argument of I saw two highly agenderized talking heads on fox but live 1000's of miles away is just idiocy of the highest order.

Also the 37% (of eligible voters) voted for Brexit, they did not vote for Farage, who cant even win a seat in Parliament. That comment is beyond dumb. A large number of those voters live in areas with almost no immigration.

Easy one. The Senate systematically favors rural areas since representation is equal for all of the states instead of accounting for population. Hence it favors Republicans. It's virtually impossible for Dems to hold a supermajority in the Senate these days. Thus, Republicans could do the same thing they did to Garland to any Democratic nominee in perpetuity... But, if they nuke the filibuster, they lose that systematic advantage just to get one nominee through now.

I don't want to hear Nigel Farage's name again unless it's Nigel Farage headed to testify/going to prison.

He's banned OAFK, you don't need to keep spreading the aids by quoting him

Farage and Trump are pretty similar. Both opportunists who just seem to want attention, played on people's fears, made vague promises of prosperity and less brown people, then, when they won, revealed themselves to be nothing but clowns.

Spicer just said Senate Republicans did not filibuster Obama's SCOTUS nominees so they shouldn't filibuster Gorsuch

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yo Sean Spicer, Obama isn't president anymore. Stop blaming him for your administration's incompetence.

Bunk. I was standing in line at the checkout counter at Walmart and as I looked at the line behind me, I saw a Spanish couple applying tourniquets to stabbing victims, bragging about the fact that under the new TrumpKits program their first aid kits were delivered free right at the moment of border crossing.

Exactly, it won't be their fault it was bad legislation, it'll be the Senate Dems who refused to work on making good changes to the bill and instead killed it. They already started laying the groundwork for this excuse when a Republican Senator (I believe, could've been a Representative) asked for Dem input on a healthcare plan instead of just ****ting on the AHCA and I think Chuck Schumer said the Dem plan is the existing law Rs are trying so hard to repeal.

Yes, they are, and in a very particular way.

True, but that is not it. They are both catspaws of Robert Mercer, which is why they're such chums, and are both working the Mercer programme.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...ed-back-brexit

(For those at the back, I might mention that the Mercers are heavily behind Citizens United, GAI and Breitbart -- Steve Bannon is the family's man in the White House -- as well as the infamous Cambridge Analytica set-up beloved of Brexitards. There's a reason why Trump kept saying, 'I'm Mr Brexit,' as I have previously suggested.)

It's not just senate dems, b/c it's officially a budget bill, some of that stuff might get thrown out due to procedural stuff because certain things don't go in budget bills; then it's someone's fault you've never heard of but obviously is working for obama to undermine trump or whatever the hell nonsense they come up with.

That was heller (R-NV) in a vulnerable seat for him for the 18 election. From what I can tell at least the framework of his plan is different though, he wants states to be able to decide so blue states can keep obamacare, red states don't have to. Of course, idk the particulars afterwards (ie medicaid/medicare funding gutting) and all that but at least on the surface it's a reasonable discussion which is way ahead of whatever the hell the house **** ends up being, the worse it gets the more yes votes they get, standard. (still some R's in the senate are on full repeal or bust like rand paul)

It's pretty clear the R's can't agree so it's far better for americans to just give up on that **** and improve the existing ACA but trump proved once again winning in politics is about grandstanding not substance.

So wait. The GOP strategy is to make this plan so ****ty, it won't pass in order to blame the Dems that the plan was ****ty?

You might think it's ****ing stupid, but it's perfect because their base is also ****ing stupid.

This is the party who overrode a veto on a stupid ****ing law, then blamed the President for not telling them how bad it was.
