      McConnell offers some blunt advice to Trump White House: "There are two things the administration ought to consider before nominating someone: first a background check and second, likelihood of confirmation. And generally better to check that up in advance"

          McConnell appears to have completely run out of f**ks to give.

          Well, it should be plain to everyone by now that Trump has no intention of learning that lesson. He will never let any persnickity background-checking staffer interfere with his grand gut impulses.

          @senatemajldr Shouldn't that background check include finding out if they are qualified for the position? You seem to have ignored that part!

          Well since the Senate basically confirms any unqualified individual with a heartbeat, why would Trump believe McConnell 🤷‍♀️

          McConnell would indict, I mean consent, to a chicken sandwich if the evangelicals told him to.

          So why is @senatemajldr bitching & moaning about Dems not supporting nominees & him being so unhappy about Dems grilling nominees that he changed Senate rules to fast track confirmation process? He’s admitting most of these nominees are UNQUALIFIED, yet says Dems are obstructing?
