John McCain promises Republicans will be 'united against any Supreme Court nominee' from Clinton



Arizona Sen. John McCain, "patriot," promises that if the Republicans keep their Senate majority, there won't be any Supreme Court confirmations for President Hillary Clinton.

McCain promised that Republicans would be "united against any Supreme Court nominee" put forth by Clinton.
"I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up," McCain said. "I promise you. This is where we need the majority and Pat Toomey is probably as articulate and effective on the floor of the Senate as anyone I have encountered."

Republicans don't govern they obstruct, they would not work with the two term president Obama now they are ready to do the same with Hillary. McCain and the rest must go they must loose power to break the obstruction.

McCain cant even remember how many houses he owns;as of 2006 it was 6,

message by replacing Repubs in the Senate (and House, too) with Democrats who actually want to do something for the American people as opposed to more obstructionism.

My god, but Republicans are horrible sore-losers. And that goes for their ill-informed/uninformed voters, too.

Daniel 5: mene mene tekel upharsin. Translation = God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end. You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

These mean-spirited old white elite men, know that they will probably never live to see another republican president. The young people of this country have turned away from Republican bullshit, hypocracy, and hate-mongering. People of color are becoming the majority and are not shy about demanding their piece of the pie. All that's left for old white men Republicans is to pull up the drawbridge and try to maintain a holding pattern. But in life, there is no holding pattern. Nothing lasts forever; everything undergoes change. The more they resist change, the more painful it will be, when the bus runs over them.

Their intransigence and refusal to co-operate just proves that hatred makes people stupid.

Very loose translation: Mene: God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end. Tekel: You've been weighed in the balances and found wanting. Upsharin: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and the Persians women and minorities.

Where the guy, who improves nothing with what was given to him, doesn't even try things better gets repudiated.

as well as Arizona. Republicans will use the Senate to shut down the government. A vacated Supreme Court will be a national disaster. John McCain is pro-disaster
