Nope, McConnell has already publicly stated that only applies to a second term. lame duck president.


That's my take on it too.

Besides, what would Harry Reid (or Chuck Schumer) do?

This is the SCOTUS. We cannot play nice while the Dems fight tooth and nail, hook or by crook. If RBG bows out, Trump should appoint and Senate should confirm STAT. What are they gonna do? B!tch MORE than they are already? Connive MORE? Plot MORE?

Please.

We cannot pass up a chance of that magnitude to placate and appease those who will thereafter rub it in our faces.

Elections have consequences, remember? The Senate is ours. Don't squander it.
