Go For It, Democrats

See what happens.

Senate Democrats have the power to stop Trump. All they have to do is use it.

Here is the article's point.

inally, Democrats can withhold their consent from Trump until they feel confident that foreign governments are not interfering in our elections. Credible reports hold that U.S. intelligence agencies are investigating whether Trump’s campaign cooperated with the Russian government on Vladimir Putin’s personally directed meddling. Withholding consent from Trump’s agenda until an independent, bipartisan probe provides answers is not just reasonable; it’s responsible. If Democrats withhold consent from everything the Senate does until such a process is established, they can stall Trump’s agenda and confirmation of his nominees indefinitely. Sen. Richard Durbin has been a leader in demanding an independent investigation. But unless Democrats back their calls with the threat of action, McConnell will steamroll them and never look back.

It's a good thing Harry Reid set a precedent for the "nuclear option"

Adam Jentleson, formerly deputy chief of staff to Sen. Harry Reid...

LOL

Read up on the nuclear option.

McConnell cannot count on 51 votes at any given time.

The nuclear option cannot prevent a "consensus" foot dragging step by step through the two year term.

Sassy laughs at the article writer, who is laughing at the far right, as he should.

Democrats should do their worst.

They will successfully remake themselves into, not only a coastal party, but a black party as well.

If the Democrats continue this nonsense 52 votes will be a given.

With Obama the GOP had to get in his way to prevent him from succeeding.

With Trump the Dems need only quietly get out of the way and let him fail marvelously.

Schumer is brilliantly handing the baby-man in the oval enough rope to hang himself.
