Well he may know he cant hold 50 together so hes just saying this to appear to support Trump

Or

Hes saying they will get a vote but didnt say “when”

And if Trump loses repubs have cover to vote against because of that

Hes got so many good cover positions hes not worried at all

So much for McConnell being a problem. Now it’s up to the 3-year-olds he has has to manage and whether he can corral enough of them to get her replacement on the Court.

Trump has his list, he needs to name a replacement tomorrow and have Mitch push it through pronto. Don’t make a big production out of it, with 3 hour daily press conferences for a month. Just get it done, pronto.

No way an incumbent in reelection is going to vote no.

So the question is who on the Republican side is up for reelection?

Also, screw the Democrats whining about Garland. When they don’t control the Senate, they have to learn a terrible lesson about why the filibuster was so important.

it’s critical to fill this slot before the election, or otherwise it will motivate leftists to vote in droves ...

I heard that song twice already.

Whether a new Justice is conformed or not, this totally negates the ability of Robert's to cause mischief in the inevitable upcoming vicious street fight in the courts over ballot fraud and the November elections results. Robert's can't make it 5 - 4 for Biden anymore.
Win win for Trump.

Trump was on FIRE tonight in Bemidji, but I didn’t hear him reference “Notorious”.

Trump needs to pick a Thomas/Scalia/Alito.

Some politician said once that elections have consequences. Guess he was right.

Mitch can lose Romney Collins and Murkowski. Pence will break the tie.
Before the election

Good point.

Addition by Subtraction, the Court now is already more Conservative than it was before.

It’s now about firing up the base with the pick, and making the stakes clear, and putting the Democrats on the defensive. But really, Trump is playing with house money here.

Americans need to see another Kavanaugh style Senate confirmation just before the election to help them remember how childish and evil they are. Let the Dem Senators attack a well qualified and respected conservative female and see what it does to the vote. I bet President Trump has already thought if this and it would be priceless.

A vote will proceed.
RINO Senators can either vote against Trumps nominee and
be responsible for the death of the GOP or confirm Trumps nominee.
It’s a simple choice.
But a vote is coming.
