    Baron Dumbass.

    I took down the graphic because I don't want your family or co-workers seeing you weep like a baby.

    It's what happens when I toggle back and forth from my mobile device.

    Proving my point once again.

    I can't tell who is more cowardly, John. You or the Republicans on this issue. Neither of you wants to show any courage and prove that you stand by your principles.

    I'm concerned about protecting the innocent, which is a concept that is foreign to you. Do you need a tissue?

    Yeah, to wipe my tears of laughter.

    It's political rhetoric that makes them look even more weaker than they would be if they just went through the motions.

    I get that they're stuck between a rock and a hard place, as I said many pages ago on this thread. Accept Obama's nomination, and they've pissed off their base. Reject his nomination, and piss off the rest of the electorate.

    They're going to lose either way. But at least if they're going to lose on the issue, lose with some dignity.

    You mean like Obama did when filibustering Alito's nomination? Why can't the GOP just fight it to the death and then in nine years say it was a "mistake"?

    I think it's more than the undecideds who are paying attention, but we'll see.

    Jake Tapper's farts > Jake from State Farm's hideous voice?

    Trump throws a monkey wrench into this theory. Suddenly there are a lot of undecideds if he is the nominee.

    You're crying. Let it out.

    Certainly. Let them fight it. And deal with the consequences from the voters.

    Obama took the risk with the voters, and look where he ended up. Why can't the GOP do the same?

    Instead, they're "Wah, wah, wah, Mr. President, don't put us in a difficult position!"
