Senate reaches deal on confirming 15 judges (3 Circuit, 12 District) as price for Democrats to go home and campaign

Are they ever going to step up and fight back.......

1. There's only one way to respond to this news.

[shanny]

5. I'm with you.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. Seriously... WTF?!?!

[maxsolomon]

2. What would you have done?

Not campaigned? Look at how many seats Dems are defending vs. Republics...

[Loki Liesmith]

3. You don't know what you're talking about

If they had stayed the entire slate would have been confirmed anyway and they’d have NO TIME to campaign.

6. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[sunonmars]

4. They only needed one to stay, just one to hold it up......not all senators were needed.

What would the GOP lot have done?

7. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Senate reaches deal on confirming 15 judges (3 Circuit, 12 District) as price for Democrats to go home and campaign

Sounds like a good deal to me! Nothing would have stopped them from being confirmed. (That's just the sad and unfortunate truth.) At this point, their time is better spent at home campaigning.

Are they ever going to step up and fight back.......

16. The OP was the typical attack on Dems.

It will get worse as Election Day draws near.

The "Dems never fight, so why bother voting for them?" message seems intended to scrub away Dem votes.

I have one local race where a spoiler is on the ballot to scrub away certain Dem votes from the impressive Dem nominee. The guy is flooding mailboxes in some areas with campaign mailers. The last time that happened, republican operatives were shoveling money to the spoiler behind the scenes.

20. You're correct. It's sickening.

[still_one]

8. Gee, I guess being the majority party matters. Too bad some of those self-identified progressives

refused to vote for the Democratic Nominee by either voting third party or not voting didn’t consider that

Every Democrat running for Senate in those critical swing states lost to the incumbent, establishment, republican, and those Democrats were progressive by any standard

11. I hope that opinion gives you some comfort. As the repukes make off with

the entire government and everything that gives the middle class any comfort and security, you can curse the progressives.

Great plan.

[still_one]

13. Obviously you have a comprehension problem. I did NOT curse "the progressives" as you conviently

choose to filter what to read and NOT to read in my post

What I did do is slam SOME of those SELF-IDENTIFIED progressives who went out of their way to LIE and distort the false equivalency between the two parties, and encourage through social media and other avenues to spew that garbage to the naïve and uninitiated to follow suit.

and just to make it real simple for you, I am referring to the Jill Stein frauds. The same one's that were there in 2000

It was those so-called progressives who called the Democratic nominee and President Obama every foul name in the book

So don't leccture me that I am "slamming" progressives, because that isn't what I said

[Doremus]

15. The people who voted for Stein would have voted Green if Mother Theresa was the (D) nominee

But I don't really want or need to rehash this.

Whenever I'm at DU I read so many anti-Progressive threads that, when called out, really "aren't against progressives," only the fools who voted for Jill Stein.

I get tired of reading it but apparently some folks receive some comfort in stating it and restating it. Carry on.

[Blue_true]

18. Then those idiots create the problem they fight.

Sort of like a dog chasing it's tail round in circles.

19. DU stands for Democratic Underground

It’s purpose is to support the Democratic Party and it’s candidates. It is not progressive underground (PU???)and does not support progressives who actively work against the best interests of the Democratic Party.

17. NO!!!! Stop the finger pointing bullshit!!!!

All the poster said was that people need to use their fucking heads and think AND vote strategically. There is no way that you will convince me, even if you tried until hell freezes over that if people had ignored the Sarandon/Stein assault on Hillary Clinton and showed up voted for her and she won, that the country and the world would not now be better places.

21. Poster said they were "self identified progressives". Fake ones.

Real progressives aren't stupid enough to not vote or to vote third party. Not when there is so much at stake.

10. NEVER make deals with McConnell!

[DeminPennswoods]

12. The last deal, there were actually Obama-appointed judges approved

Until we know who these judges are and if there was serious opposition to any of them, I don't think this can be called one way or the other. For all we know, these judges could have had a good deal bi-partisan support like the last batch did.
