Why? Trump's not a lame duck.

Why? Trump's not a lame duck.

Neither was Bush, Senior. That's when the "Biden Rule" started.

“Why? Trump's not a lame duck.”

And THAT’s what it was all about.

Not at all a double standard.

Murkowski is clearly not very bright. She’s incapable of understanding such subtleties.

“Why? Trump’s not a lame duck.”

EXACTLY!

Exactly...We have the Senate and the Presidency. Obama had only the Whitehouse. The Repubs had the Senate. Would they have given Garland a hard time if nominated...cuz we’re not like the Dems. And we know nothing about Garland...because it didn’t happen.

Why? Trump's not a lame duck.

I don't understand what difference that makes.

The argument was the electorate will decide which vision they embrace come November - the Republican candidate's or the Democrat's.

What does being a lame duck have to do with it, at least before the election?
