…and here are what the democrats said (forgive me if this has already been posted)
Right, and again, the GOP changed the "rule," declaring it a new rule, and that there is no partisanship involved (despite hilariously obvious partisanship). That's how the Senate has always worked. Now, they want to flip back, as if they never made a new rule...because again, it only interests them.
...and again, because no partisanship. If you don't understand how hypocrisy works, this is it. GOP are the ones that are changing rules at a whim, only to suit them. What the Democrats said in 2016 doesn't matter worth a shit, compared to today, because their comments are effectively
the status quo in 2016, and now in 2020, as teh GOP is trying to change the rules, temporarily, and quite obviously temporarily. Do you understand that? Consider, again, that bedwetting bitches like Lindsay Graham essentially defended the decision in 2016, that when presented with the potential situation in 2020, that he would hold to the new status quo. You want hypocrisy? watch him.
Rules and common mores change all the time like this. Only the GOP has decided that there are no ethics and no morality to govern how they decide to govern when it only ever suits them. To argue otherwise is to not be paying attention.
