I was watching the 10PM news in Minneapolis and of course, they interviewed Amy “Empty Pant Suit” Klobuchar.

She made a point that I’m certain the Dems will try to ream McConnell on. That was his refusal to hold a vote on Obama’s nominee, Merrick Garland, in early 2016. The claim by McConnell was that the next President should be the one putting forth the nominee.

McConnell will have a hard time explaining his change of mind - and the Dems will not let or the public forget it.

Like I said Trump should nominate Garland

[MountainWalker]

Cocaine Mitch already explained it tonight: Garland was blocked bc of split partisan control of the WH and Senate in 2016. Then, voters increased the GOP Senate majority in 2018 for this very reason.

Not as good a point as Dems think.
This Senate is held by the same Party as the Presidency.
If Obama’s Party had held the Senate they would have approved Garland.

McConnell has explained his mind about a dozen times since then very clearly. Two words - different party.

“McConnell will have a hard time explaining his change of mind - and the Dems will not let or the public forget it.”

Not a problem. Blaming McConnell for being inconsistent is boring.

Just nominate a candidate for Supreme Court tomorrow, say it is pro-life and pro-gun candidate, and watch the losers fail as the candidate gets the votes from the Senate.

So what? The Dems have spent over 3 years throwing everything they can at the Republicans. The only ones who will pay attention to McConnell's hypocrisy are people who would never support Trump or a conservative nominee in any case.

Everyone who supports Trump and a conservative nominee will breath a sigh of relief. Your mistake is in agreeing with the the media and Democrats that this supposedly decisive 'gotcha' will have some effect with the general public. It won't, and sticking a knife in the Dems will generate even more enthusiasm among Republican supporters.

No he won’t. Trump isn’t a lame duck. Further, he isn’t a lame duck with his party voted out in the Senate mid-terms.

Since Trump will be the next president, there is no inconsistency here. Obama was at the end of his second term and was not going to be the next president.

The American people wanted Trump to appoint the next SC justice then. They want him to do so now.

Let the left riot and attempt to burn the Supreme Court Building — talk about “law and order” optics!
