Among them:
1. Even if Trump wins in a landslide on election night, the commies will somehow manage to tie it up in the courts of several states. SCOTUS can not be a possible 4:4 outcome.
2. Confirming prior to the election will deflate a number of leftist voters who would vote on this issue alone, Ginsberg's replacement (read: abortion).
3. Such a move by the (R)'s should galvanize at least some support (even if private at the ballot box) from some never Trumpers regarding judiciary picks and the possibility of yet another SCOTUS pick sometime in the next 4 years.
4. Assuming ACB, that just might bring into the Trump column a sizeable portion of the more moderate, "blue dog" (D) and independent Catholics. Trump already has the evangelicals so this would be a net pick-up that will go a long way to adding to a landslide and hopefully making it that much more difficult for the courts to overturn the results.
They must get this done.
