That is well argued, Steve. I don't quite agree but you've given me much to think about.

My take is this:

In at least my life time, Republicans have always tried to play the nice guy only to get continuously punched in the mouth.

They squandered a majority in both houses while holding the Presidency.

They seem to believe that politics should be noble and what have they to show for it? The leftists don't respect them. Look how they treated McCain and Romney when they ran. They don't care about nice guys they can run roughshod over.

Look at the dirty tricks they pulled to shove the ACA down our throats. Traditionally the GOP has said they're above that. And for what?

If the Democrats were in control right now, they'd be full steam ahead on a confirmation.

Trump was elected for a reason. To not be the nice guy but the one that got things done. This is something he can get done with the Senate and will have long lasting implications.

The time to strike is now.
