Agree but if Trump manages to stay in office, he won't be able to confirm any of his nominations to the judiciary unless Rs control the Senate.

Republicans have controlled the senate for the whole 4 yrs.and Trump has had to appoint people like Barr(scum sucking bottom feeders)to get them appointed.

But we also got 3 great Supreme Court justices, Ben Carson, and Pompeo.

And you think the Dem alternatives are better?

This not voting for them is cutting off your nose, to spite your face. Yeah! That'll show the GOP! And then you make Trump's second term exponentially more difficult than it had to be.

People can withhold their vote on principle, sure. But all witholding one's vote does in this case of the two R's in the Georgia senate races, is to allow for evil to take those seats.

Name one really awesome, super effective, swamp drainer that Trump managed to get confirmed in his first term. And Ric Grenell doesn't count.

With a Senate Republican majority, Trump has gotten 3 SCOTUS appointments, more federal judicial appointments than any other president, AND...Protection from a bogus conviction by the Senate after impeachment.

If the Dems keep the House, and we lose the Senate, Trump is vulnerable to another political impeachment witch-hunt.

Are you OK with that threat over him?

The things you mentioned occurred independently of the Senate. We have to keep the Senate to be able to set the agenda. Otherwise Trump is F-ed for two years. Or is that what you really want?
