The worst thing the GOP could do is punt and wait until after the election. It will put the Dems in the driver seat, and energize D voters to go to the polls.
By Trump nominating and the Senate confirming a pick, it takes the entire issue off the table, is a win for the GOP and takes the wind out of Dems’ sails. And, even if Trump loses, he will have picked 3 SC justices, rather than 2.
And hold the fire to the senators in red states seeking re-election this cycle.
EDIT: Anyone with half a brain knows that the left just changes the rules as they go to increase their odds of gaining and maintaining power. Reid did it. Cryin' Chuck wants to do it with the filibuster. And now they're talking about packing the court? All because Trump won and their platform has become so anti American that most moderate Americans are coming around to see what they really are (and won't support it). But they are going to do everything they can to ensure that the GOP is completely neutered for decades, so FUCK THEM. RAM IT THROUGH.

There is NO reason to not do this.
but what if the democrats decide to burn down their own cities!
Let's just give them what they want.
Appeasement has never failed in history, right? It's always a sound strategy?
