It is a game and that's why republican MUST confirm a new justice before the election.
If they don't then democrats will be energized to vote for a Biden-named justice. He'll say he's going to nominate a lesbian woman of color who's an illegal immigrant and they'll all pokemon go to the polls to vote for the supreme court not for Biden.
If Trump gets a replacement confirmed then the oldest one at 82 is Breyer and will almost certainly last 4 years so they will not have the court as a reason to vote. They could vote out of spite for fast tracking a replacement right before the election, but they're already full of spite.
