Remember when democrats broke tradition in 2013 to force Obama's nominees through by using the nuclear option? I I predicted it would come back to bite the democrats because when the GOP gets into the majority they now can do the same thing. The 3/5 of votes previously required is out the door, a simple majority is now all that's required to end a filibuster of executive and judicial nominees. When Trump was ask if he was concerned democrats would use the filibuster to blocks his nominees he simply said "We'll nuke the fllibusters" so no he's not concerned democrats can stop them. "We don't have time to waste playing games, we'll use the same precedence Obama did to get the people I want, in the places I want them."
