B-Man Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I did not agree with her very often. I was hoping that we could honor her long career before starting in with the politics, but that (sadly) won’t happen both sides are already circling 😡 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden likely knew too -- and now he'll have to release his own list (which he's been reluctant to do because it'll cause problems in his fractured party between moderates and progressives). This will have a huge impact on the House and Senate races too as turnout should go way up in all those races. Swing state dems, as an example, have to be nervous as hell right now.

This is a morbid gift to both parties in terms of driving up turnout. They (both sides) have to hit it hard -- which, unfortunately, will make the discourse/rhetoric all the more dangerous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that, only if the election hinges on a replacement. But I really expect McConnell to vote on a Trump nomination perhaps even before the election. That Biden rule of no vote in an election year arguably only applies if opposite parties hold the Senate and Presidency. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to be thinking that's how it'll happen, to avoid a 4-4 tie in the court on any ruling of the upcoming election... it's a compelling argument. Senate has 13 days left on its calendar and a lot of seats are up for re-election. So, there's not much time, but the stakes are VERY high for all. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdutton Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I think nominating and voting on a replacement just 45 days before the election is a very bad idea. First, the precedent has been made. It makes Republicans look REALLY bad of they push for a nomination. I have always stated that the blocking of Obama's nomination was a bad idea and a Republican nomination will infuriate democrats and independents and even many centrist Republicans like myself. Put the flags and half mast for a week and focus on the issues. I think Trump would win a lot of hearts and minds if he publicly states that he would not submit a nomination until after the election results are determined. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
