Obama was a lame duck. Trump is in active re-election mode with Supreme Court one of his core issues. Selecting a SC justice now will help him or hurt him at the ballot boxTequilla said:

Mitch’s maneuver 4 years ago was one of canniest, duplicitous political moves of my lifetim. I called it a gamble then, but I was wrong. He wasn’t going to lose anything, only win or draw.GreenRiverGatorz said:
I wouldn't count them out. Besides democrats trying to hold Mitch to a purity standard that he may or may not have set himself, there's no legitimate reason to not have a nominee. A justice died, time to pick a new one. Whether there's 40 months left in a term, or 2, it shouldn't matter.Goduckies said:Collins and Murkowski are our, probably Mittens too, so will happen after the election probably

I understand politics greatlyNorthwestFresh said:The idiots not understanding the politics of this vacancy with a president up for re-election versus an outgoing president should not vote. Do you morons understand elections?
There are political reasons to push through a candidate
There are political reasons why the optics are really bad -

Christ. If you want to be "fair", either a president gets to appoint a SCOTUS nominee during his administration or he doesn't. Enjoy the win and let the other team bitch about the refs. The more you argue the more obviously full of shit you are.doogie said:

Reality is that you can spin this either way
The PR war is going to be massive leading into the election
If someone gets nominated I’d recommend a slam dunk caliber candidate that would be relatively agreeable to all ... like that exists
I can see both sides of the coin but I’m not sure I see this as a great strategy move by Republicans -
