Seriously? How will it affect Judicial appointments? If the Republicans retake the Senate, the nuke option doesn't work; if they retake the Senate, they'll have the majority and all of this stupidity by the Democrats does not thing to help them, and in fact just backfires and will be used against them.
The Democrats have been so blindsided and knocked silly by the massive explosion that was obamacare, that they're not thinking clearly; and certainly they're not thinking about the long-term effects of the nuke option they just triggered.
Only if obamacare is repealed will the Dems win the White House in 2016. Hillary Clinton or whomever is the Democratic nominee will need to do what McCain did to GWB in '08. obama is so toxic to Democrats right now that the Democratic nominee will have to distance her/himself from obama and especially obamacare.
