This is a great sign from McConnell as it means that he is confident that Trump will win the election and deny Hillary to nominate someone even more liberal than Garland.

Well, I wouldn't be so sure. If Trump loses the election, there's a really good chance McConnell would have the Senate take up the nomination in the lame duck session and so confirm Obama's nominee before Hillary gets in office.

A really nasty scenario is that we win the White House, lose the Senate, and then the new Democrat Senate confirms him before the GOP Resident is inaugurated.
