Trump: I will tell McConnell to 'go nuclear' if Democrats hold up Gorsuch nomination

[gratuitous]

10. Just invoke the McConnell Rule

Remember that Sen. McConnell said that President Obama didn't represent the true will of the American people because his party lost seats in the 2014 election, even though President Obama had won re-election with a majority vote in 2012. President Trump, by the same token (no pun intended), similarly does not represent the true will of the American people, because not only did he fail to win a majority of the popular vote in 2016, he didn't capture even a plurality of the vote, and his party was outpolled in the national popular vote. Therefore, the Senate is bound under the McConnell Rule to refuse even a committee hearing for Judge Gorsuch.

That's how things work now, isn't it? We can't go against the ironclad rules laid down by the Senate Majority Leader can we?
