I assume the Nutmeg Moron is positioning himself to run for President, but will the rest of the country's voters prove as clueless as Connecticut's?

Connecticut’s junior senator is again in the news, and again playing for the cameras, not anything effectual. He’s delaying a Senate vote (that he’ll lose) for, at most, two days, which he acknowledges, so rather than jamming a stick in the wheels of the Trump juggernaut, as he’s pretending, he’s merely placing baseball cards in a bicycle’s wheels:lots of noise, but accomplishing nothing.

Dem who called Trump 'existential threat to democracy' now blocking his nominees

Sen. Chris Murphy said there were 'serious concerns' from some Democrats about Trump's CIA pick John Ratcliffe

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., disrupted Senate Republicans' plans to quickly confirm President Donald Trump's national security nominees on Tuesday night when he objected to bypassing lengthy procedural votes that are routinely skipped. 

"Unfortunately, we were at the point of almost having a consent agreement to have a vote on the confirmation of John Ratcliffe to be the CIA director tomorrow. Not today, not yesterday, when it should have happened, but tomorrow," Senate Republican Conference Chairman Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said on the chamber floor. "But the senator from Connecticut has decided to object at the last minute."

"I don't really understand the objection to Mr. Ratcliffe. He was confirmed by the Senate to be the director of National intelligence. He was fully vetted through the bipartisan process in the Senate Intelligence Committee. We voted him out yesterday on a 14 to 3 vote," Cotton, also the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, continued. 

Murphy's Tuesday night objection to speeding through the routine procedural votes is the first case of Democrats using the strategy Republicans employed while in the Senate minority to gain leverage to negotiate. 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., expressed his frustration with the objection on the floor, saying, "OK, so 14 to 3 coming out of the committee. And we've now wasted a whole day where we could have been acting on that nomination."

"And so really, I think the question before the House is, do we want a vote on these folks on Tuesday or vote on them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday? Because that's what we're going to do," he said, threatening weekend votes in the upper chamber.
