They are also planning to block ALL of her supreme court nominees stating that it may be time to let the court die a natural death. The perfect definition of stupidity -- doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. And then there's the massive amount of money that will continue to be spent trying to dig up dirt on Clinton rather than putting the time and money toward programs that need attention. I don't believe our elected leaders even pretend to care about doing what's honorable for our country. I alternate between despair and rage over the state of our governmental affairs.
And then they cry, "Look at how broken our government is!" But they're being boosted by, voted in by people who have wrapped themselves in intense Obama/Hillary/"LIEBERAL" hysteria. Here at PS most seem to be well-informed (despite the few who still parrot the "Hillary was asleep for the 3am call!" nonsense) but if you peek into the far-right corners of the internet, it gets pretty crazy. O'Keefe videos (once again debunked, what a surprise!), global conspiracies (with lots of anti-semitic rhetoric), mass media collusion, cries of wanting to take up arms and start a revolution, etc. It's so sad to see, because they are so far down the conspiracy rabbit hole, there's no returning. But in truth, things are far less nefarious than people want to believe.

But moving the goalposts again when it looks like they may lose. I guess "the people" doing the choosing of Clinton aren't the RIGHT people, (only white Republicans are) so their will and their choice don't really count. Of course, it was never about the people in the first place.
Dems need to regain the Senate and remove the filibuster on SC appointment immediately.
Yes, yes, YES.
