Donald Trump just said that if we have the same gridlock in Washington that we’ve had during the Obama administration, he would encourage Mitch McConnell to go nuclear to get SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch confirmed:

I’m so glad Trump green lighted the nuclear option, giving McConnell the needed support to pull the trigger on this.
I just hope McConnell doesn’t cower at the last minute in the face of heavy media attacks, because you know they are coming!
