they go nuclear and put Gorsuch on the Supreme Court? (Assuming they probably will go nuclear.)
I hate to see them go nuclear on the Supreme Court battle, but I fear nothing can stop them now. I just wonder if they will turn on tRump once the supreme prize is theirs.

at the same time and hand the Presidency to a Democrat. The math isn't there to get many Senate seats in 2018, picking up 3 and getting 51 is a long shot. Even then you would need 16 Republicans to agree to hand the Presidency to a Democratic Speaker.

And they're replaced by dems.

Republican senators realize that tactic might come back to bite them in the rear some day.
