If the Dems treated your candidates the way you treated theirs, this asshole wouldn't even a meeting with you, let alone a hearing in front of the Senate or any of its committees. Go fuck yourself.

President Obama was treated by both Republicans, and some silent, so called Democrats, who treated his leadership as disposable. Just my imo, I'm having a good day.

Trump's nominees deserve the same level of respect from Dems that Reputins gave to Obama's nominees.

ZERO respect.

I haven't heard that any of our Dems have pledged to support him. They at least need to hear what comes out in hearings. I can easily see one of theirs coming over to our side before we start voting with them.
