Scare tactics! Again?

McConnell just said the far left is using scare tactics to slow down the process! Didn't we hear this last year and year before that, so on so on? He would not be so confused or concerned if he was not a Trump pleaser and he didn't stop Obama's pick for the Supreme Court to go through!

We're not using scare tactics - we're using logic and reason to prevent this country from going to shit. Of course your average Trumper does not understand what "logic" and "reason" are.

Just the American people, telling you what they want instead of the other way around, like you prefer.

Like his new master Trump, there is nothing beyond the generic accusation. Its only about headlines, soundbites. He's quite accomplished at this tactic - fill this air with nothings that Dems have to explain away.

Remember, the past doesn't exist if you're a Republic - your past actions are irrelevant in the present. All that matters is how you can exercise your power.

The average American, that the GOP loves to opine about while discussing God/gays/guns, has every right to be scared how a conservative corporatist unitary executive privilege leaning Supreme Court would rule on consumer rights, labor rights, reproductive rights, access to healthcare rights, property rights, education rights, civil rights, housing rights, right of President to pardon himself for anything he chooses, etc.
