Well you know what they say: "what comes around goes around"

Its unfortunate because Trump suggests the "nuclear option" everyone has a coronary over the anticipated end to freedom democracy and the world as we know it.

Quote:
A little over three (closer to 4 now) years ago, Senator Mitch McConnell stood on the Senate floor and issued a warning to the Democrats who then controlled the majority.

“I say to my friends on the other side of the aisle, you’ll regret this,” McConnell, then the minority leader, told them. “And you may regret it a lot sooner than you think.”

At the urging of Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democrats had just voted along strict party lines to change the rules of the Senate, deploying what had become known in Washington as “the nuclear option.”
But I do wholeheartedly agree with Senator McConnell's desire not to press the button. But if he did it wouldn't be the first time a party decided to do such a thing. And guess what happened when they did, the sun still came up the next day and people still got on with their lives.
