Why? Why?? WHY???? Why would any Democrat back this right wing monster?? Gorsuch is 49. We could be stuck with this a-hole for over 50 years! Why are Democrats so weak? The Obama Administration faced 8 years of complete obstruction from the right, why cant we ever fight back??

(694 posts)I thought my post was pretty clear. The question was asked "why would the Dems behave this way" and i said they're firming a circular firing squad. I other words the Dems excel at defeating themselves.
Hope that is more clear.
