The Democrats Need To Walk Out On The Vote En Masse. Time To Be Obnoxious. Forget Collegiality.

Break that precedent and start attacking the GOP on the floor. They have broken the Senate and the phony collegiality just plays into their shit. They keep breaking the rules just about every day. Just turn the Senate floor in to damned brawl. Call McConnell a racist prick to his face and on the floor.

At least piss them off royally. And go after Trump with every speech. I just do not feel we are getting anywhere. We are dealing with politicians who are working with the Russians and our enemies for their own political gain no matter what happened the citizens.

Then it goes to the floor where there is no filibuster and no more direct questions to Kavanugh.

Walking out would be a gift to the Republicans.
