How I customarily think of the GOPEE.

And it couldn’t have occurred at a more important time.

The GOP is actually starting to make mouth music like they possess a pair.

From Politico.com:

McConnell: Not a ‘snowball’s chance in hell’ I’ll relent on SCOTUS

by Lauren French and John Bresnahan

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told a group of staunch House conservatives there isn’t “a snowball’s chance in hell” that he will back down from his opposition to confirming a Supreme Court justice before a new president is elected.

McConnell’s comments came after Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, urged him to stay the course and not back down from a fight with the White House and Senate Democrats.

At first blush I must admit that I am surprised.  Considering the history of the GOP, I expected Mitch McConnell and the rest of the GOP to do what they do best: bend over and capitulate to Obama, Demorats and Leftist pressure.

After all, the GOP is responsible — good or bad — for the creation of Donald Trump.

Voters and a number of conservatives got tired of the GOP reneging on its promises and going back to what I term its GOPEE (GOP Establishment Elite) roots.  That means: “we’ll go along to get along because, at the end of the day, we’ll be bending elbows with our good friends the Demorats at local DC watering holes.”

Senate GOP: No hearings for Supreme Court nominee

by Manu Raju, Ted Barrett and Tom LoBianco

Washington (CNN)  In an unprecedented move, Senate Republicans vowed to deny holding confirmation hearings for President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee — even promising to deny meeting privately with whomever the President picks.

The historic move outraged Democrats and injected Supreme Court politics into the center of an already tense battle for the White House.

Yes, let the Leftist Demorat breast-beating commence.

“I don’t know how many times we need to keep saying this: The Judiciary Committee has unanimously recommended to me that there be no hearing. I’ve said repeatedly and I’m now confident that my conference agrees that this decision ought to be made by the next president, whoever is elected,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday.

Why would the GOP stick to its guns now? you may ask.  Because they realize the SCOTUS results are indeed so entirely critical.

Because, after all, wasn’t it the Demorats who said that elections have consequences?

“Elections have consequences and Eric, I won.”
— Barack Hussein Obama to House Republican Whip Eric Cantor, January 23, 2009

Well, ladies and gentlemen, elections do in fact have consequences.  So swig a big cup of Get The Fuck Over It, Demorats.  Finally, the GOP may actually wield the power it possesses.  After all, the Obama Administration has been lording its power over the Republicans and the American Taxpayers for almost eight years now.

But can the GOP-controlled Senate actually do this?

Apparently yes, it can.

And here’s the further rub, bub: McConnell made this play before Barack Hussein Obama was able to float a specific name for Scalia’s SCOTUS replacement into the public political ether.  Boo-hoo.

Thanks for reminding us that elections have consequences, Demorats.

You’re correct.  They do.

But: WILL Mitch McConnell hold his mud?
