The GOP did it with the most important vote short of War....not that they vote on that anymore. The Supreme Court vote....is majority rule thanks to Mitch.

The move backfired. Not only did the GOP regain Senate control in the 2014 midterms, but Dirty Harry's rash action (he changed a 207-year Senate tradition) set a terrible precedent insuring it would eventually be extended to SCOTUS nominees as well.
And only a braindead idiot would even suggest there is a possibility McConnell will not hold a Senate trial if the dim-retards in the House are stupid enough to impeach trump.
