McConnell has forever changed the standard on ALL confirmations.. The McConnell Rule is now as follows:
If your party controls the Senate and the opposing party controls the White House, THERE SHALL BE NO CONFIRMATIONS, not even MEETINGS with nominees!
If your party controls both the Senate AND the White House, ALL NOMINEES SHALL BE RAMMED THROUGH POST HASTE!
This is the standard MCConnell and the GOP have set.
This is the rule that must be cited with each nominee forevermore in American politics. Should the Democrats win back the Senate in November, Donald Trump had better NOT get a single nominee for ANY NOMINEE confirmed for ANY JOB for the next two years.
This is what McConnell and the Republan* Party WANTED.
This is what McConnell and the Republan* Party GETS!
* This goes back to the “-ic- rule” set by the Republan Party whereby the “ic” in a party name is never spoken again.
