When it comes to confirming members of Trump’s team, the Democrats are acting like bratty children who can’t handle the fact that they lost. Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah has had it with their immature behavior.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports:
Sen. Orrin Hatch blasts Dems for acting ‘like idiots’ in holding up Trump nominees
Washington • Sen. Orrin Hatch charged Democrats with acting “like idiots” on Tuesday as they boycotted a Senate Finance Committee hearing in order to block a vote on two of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees.
“I think they ought to stop posturing and acting like idiots,” Hatch told reporters after the committee’s Democrats skipped a vote to push the nominees to the full Senate, a move that denied a quorum required to proceed.
“I’m really tired of this type of crap,” Hatch said as Republican senators sat down Tuesday morning only to be greeted by an empty Democrat side of the room. “I mean, my goodness, there’s no excuse for it.”

Hatch is absolutely right.
The Democrats need to man up.
