McConnell can say that the Garland nomination was held up because it happened less than a year before Obama HAD TO leave office. 2020 will not be the same — Trump could serve another term.
The Republicans were also in charge of the Senate, and if they maintain control; the comparison is mute. Only if the Dems are in control of the Senate in 2019 would the comparison be legit if Trump nominated an individual.
Interesting take...I never thought of it that way.

SPOT ON and great point!
