This is not the right decision. Already down to 50/50 with Murkowski Romney and Collins defections

There is no guarantee Trump will win.

There is no point to even having the Presidency if you aren't going to fight for your beliefs.

Screw the optics, get in a justice that will be there 40 years after Trump leaves office.

Exactly. At best, we get the SCOTUS nomination and a second term. At worst, we lose both. A middle road option is getting the nomination but still losing the executive branch. That one still gives the country a fighting chance.

Hell of a legacy, if he gets it done. Too bad it will be lost in the bonfire of what's left of our Republic.

I'm leaning towards Biden is going to get punched in the nuts harder than Hillary was at the ballot box.

Why can’t he do that on 11/4? All of you people could use a lesson and civics and how politics works. I’m not calling you dumb, but you’re a fucking dumbass.

I'm a dumbass?

So you'd rather give them a rallying point to get people out to vote "if you don't vote Trump will replace RBG!"

Or alternatively "it's too late to replace RBG, so whats the fucking point?"

Don't call me a dumbass, it''s rude and frankly uncalled for.

Trump can still do it on 11/4. Take a civics class

Then wait until 11/4 and don’t make it a lightning rod for the left

The left will rally around a rammed in pick and decide to pack the court

In which case, Pence breaks the tie.

I don't think he'd do this if he weren't confident that he had the votes.

I think this is a sign of confidence.

It's gonna be tough, if I'm being honest. The MSM will, for the next 4 weeks, go full-on "principles" mode

because that's really going to sway anyone. It's either that or another story.

Their goal is to sway the senators, and it only takes a few weak-minded ones with "muh principles"

He knows that this isn't dangerous at all. Romney and Murkowski will defect, but Collins knows this is her only chance to keep her seat. She's losing right now because she's too wishy washy to keep Republican support and the Dems don't want her anyway.

Supporting a strong conservative justice is her only shot to keep her seat. This is a done deal.

If you’re too immature or uneducated to understand that this is an enthusiasm gamechanger, I can’t help you. People on the left idolized this woman to an extent we can’t fathom. This could, not will, increase the enthusiasm behind slow joes campaign.

Fuck RINOs.

This is the 100% right decision. Trump's WH. GOP's Senate.

And what happens when you kick the rinos out? We’re down to 42-45. Primary them yes. But we need GOP rinos in swing states. The intellectual purity tests people here put on people would put us in a permanent minority. We have too many young, ignorant people who think Tim Pool is worth listening to. Or the idiot from today’s AMA.

Too many 9/11 truthers and too few people not larping against the larpers from the other side. Jesus, some of you people do suck
