You have to weigh whether or not a guaranteed conservative judge (as much as can be guaranteed because some have moved center after being placed on the court) versus making it more difficult to hold the Senate or the White House for that matter.Canada2017 said:riflebear said:Canada2017 said:BornAgain said:
Not sure how it is political suicidal to get it done before the election. You may know more than I do. Please explain. Why better after election than before ? If it could be done.
Independent voters would be outraged about such an unseemly nomination process .
Trump better lay off for his own good .
Which is not in his character .
These are not normal times .
Let the PEOPLE decide through the ballot box .
Win or lose .
To do otherwise would only damage Republicans across the country .
I can't see anything more motivating tor Democrats (liberal or moderate) than to get payback on Trump and the Senate for rushing this through. You might be awakening a sleeping giant such that the true liberals who might not vote because Bernie isn't the candidate no longer care....just get Trump out.
I think Dems will control the Senate, 50-50. Schumer is talking about changing the rules to do away with the filibuster. Then Schumer wants to make Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, our 2 newest states, thus giving Dems 4 new senators and thus control of the US Senate for a long, long time. Then he wants to pack the Supreme Court.
We're talking fundamental change here.
I don't think the confirmation of a conservative judge will cost Reps the WH and Senate. I think that's going to happen regardless
Interesting line of thought ....and you may be 100% correct .
Doesn't matter....let the people decide their own future .
Even if it is entirely self destructive .
