    Collins and Murkowski are our, probably Mittens too, so will happen after the election probably

    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.
    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.
    Fast forward 4 years and there’s a double standard level of hypocrisy
    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 box

    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?

    I understand politics greatly

    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.

    I laughed

    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
