Wow. Don’t waste your time with this click bait.

The crux of the matter is that the Dems should sue to hold McConnell to his 2016 “rule” on not voting for Merrick Garland and apply it to this court vacancy.

As McConnell, himself, pointed out, this is different because this is the midterm elections, not the presidential year elections.

To cut to the chase, even if Trump waited until after the midterms to choose his nominee, it will still be Trump choosing it, not somebody else.

The 2016 issue was “Should Obama choose the nominee or the next president?” This time, that same debate would be “Should Trump choose the nominee or Trump?” Unless you harbor fantasies of indictment or impeachment, the nominee will still be Trump’s and the only purpose for postponing the vote is to get more Democrats in the Senate in an attempt to swat down Trump’s choice.

It’s a weak argument and doesn’t deserve two clicks to understand what they are referring to.

With all due respect you miss the point. If the Rats pulled this off the SC would be 4-4 until the congress is seated next year. Renegade Judges will block Trump at every turn until then. The 9th circus can set precedent in the meantime.
