Because of the virus and the President. Should the elections be postponed?

[LIConFem]

I echo the sentiments of so many other FReepers when I say... no.

[DarrellZero]

He’s gonna be fine. This will help him in the end.

Harris is a top debater. But if she’s smart then she will try to make it a boring event.

[silent majority rising]

Just for President. 5 years should do it.

[Theluckiestguyintheworld]

This is a ploy. The President has already done his part by nomination Judge Barrett. Now it is up to the Senate to do its part. (Do you hear me, Linda?).

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hey, Schmucky, did they postpone the 1918 midterms because of Spanish Flu?

[Misplaced Texan]

Yes. Postpone them until 2024.

[indthkr]

"Schumer thinks so.

If Schumer thinks the election should be postponed, then Trump must be winning.

[DannyTN]

Of course Chidi is dead. Which means someone will end up voting Democrat for him.

[Cobra64]

Someone tell this jerk that this is not an option.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Don’t give them any ideas. They are already trying to prevent a winner from being declared until weeks after election day.

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Yes, and if another tropical storm seems headed for the Gulf Coast, we need to postpone the SCOTUS nomination until next year. How can we be so cavalier as to demand a vote on Barrett when disaster is threatening our SE coastal areas?

And if any wildfires are still raging in CA/OR/WA by tomorrow, how can we be so thoughtless as to demand a SCOTUS nom be processed before January? The 6 West Coast Senators would have to put down their firehoses & fireaxes & shovels & flame-retardant covid masks and desert their posts at the firefighting fronts in their home states, to rush to DC to vote. How can Trump/McConnell/Graham be so cruel as to demand that?

Gosh, I'm sure Schumpelosi have a ton more compelling, heart-tugging reasons as to why the vote can't come this year. Stay tuned ...

[Vermont Lt]

Not targeted at you A, but that is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

[dforest]

Far fewer people involved in installing SCOTUS. We do not need Schumer and his henchman to go to a vote.

However, I would also not be adverse postponing the election until spring.

[Seruzawa]

[jmaroneps37]

Sure, postpone it for four years.

[napscoordinator]

You must be bored!

[MuttTheHoople]

We totally agree, Chuck! Please tell all your friends and supporters to show up at the polls on November 17th. Please spread the word through the Democrat phone banks.

I was banned on Facebook for 24 hours for posting, "Republicans vote on November 3, Democrats on November 4". Just a cute little funny that even most libs laugh at. Now, the Stalinist FaceStasi is in full authoritarian mode.

[tbw2]

Hold the hearings “as Trump would have wanted”.
