Since January, not a single nominee has been confirmed by voice vote or unanimous consent—a complete break from tradition. As Sen. Tom Cotton highlighted, 57% of Biden’s nominees got in without opposition. Even Trump’s first term saw 65% sail through. This time? Zero. Democrats are obstructing for the sake of “resisting” Trump—and the GOP’s finally had enough.
This isn’t just gridlock—it’s deliberate sabotage.
Well, I agree that Republicans need to fight fire with fire. Democrats are being nasty for nasty’s sake, and I have had enough of it. I think most people feel the same way.
What we’re witnessing now is an unprecedented campaign of partisan obstruction. Democrats aren’t just dragging their feet—they’re torching decades of Senate norms in a blatant attempt to kneecap Trump’s presidency. They don’t care about tradition. They care about power. [emphasis added]
And Harry Reid looks down in horrified amazement at what he has unleashed! I think that if the GOP has the votes, you do it.
