It's really coming down to some finer points. My stance & predictions:
Dems need to back off the SC. Point out Mitch Cumstains hypocrisy, question her pretty hard on whether she'd overturn RvW, then let it go. DOn't drag this out as it diverts attention from Covid mishandling.
Biden needs to hold up. Esp in the debates. If this was a criss cross the nation campaign I don't think he'd have made it. Not sure what would/can happen after the DNC, but they likely would've replaced him before it.
How bad will Covid get as it gets colder?
Business closing down, I saw 2 large chains go bankruptcy or closing numerous stores yesterday alone (Ruby Tuesdays and Bed Bath Beyond or something)
Leaks. Will Kelly or Mattis continue to leak something, and do they have something big?

Hell yeah! Time to get engaged with my mates again. Who is Rocky? Haha, going to be a wild 40 days or so
Welcome back man. Wasn't sure where you've been. It's been a journey here, as you can probably tell.

It could very well be minor, but I read Kamala Harris is going back to DC tomorrow for the first time since her VP nod to attend a Senate Intelligence briefing.
A little bit curious. ?

Really good question, what's our Plan B.

Honestly, guys, I'd be really concerned why Biden keeps issuing lids on the media (refusing to speak) so much when he NEEDS to be out in the media everyday. That's highly unusual. He's looked really, really bad recently.
It's a concern. It's pretty bad. People need to realize he had a very short primary as he was losing until SC, then NV, then I think Super Tuesday, so it was concentrated to about 3 weeks.
He's not the best choice. Not at all. Warren ran a pretty shit campaign tho by going far right (Bernie right), then stomping down Bloomberg, a qqualified guy once he entered. She should have stayed moderate, and Bloomberg should have entered sooner. I think he held out as courtesy to Biden until he saw Biden struggling to pull ahead.

It changes nothing.
It's the presidents right.
Biden had no problem with it specifically because they knew this was probable.How can you be so sure? How do you know what Schumer would do?
It’s disheartening that you use this hypothetical to justify what is about to happen and what has happened.
If Garland was on the bench right now, no one would have a thing to say.
Because I'm not naive to believe Schumer would forego his constitutional right to proceed and NOT put a justice on the bench just out of the kindness of his heart?
Again, there is nothing wrong with putting a judge on the bench. Not for any party. You've been given quotes by all parties saying, yes, this is cool, you can fill that seat at any point in a president's term... (By you, we mean only if *we* get to do it)
If Garland were on the seat, Democrats would STILL be screaming and begging and threatening to burn everything down if RBG's seat is filled by Trump.
MisterID did Democrats ever not take a vote because its an election year? (in recent times)

Romney came out and is voting. It's over. Dems need to move on & point out the blatant hypocrisy of Moscow Mitch, as well as emphasize it in Senate race states that are close like CO (seems over now), AZ, SC (bad move for Graham imho) as well as other toss up Senate seats.
But fighting it etc would be a bad move. Maybe question this woman heavily on how she'd vote if Roe v Wade came up, and get an answer. Aside from that just put her thru if they see fit.

When is the last time a sitting president had an opposition party Senate confirm his nominee in an election year? You just called this an aberration. When is the last time a Supreme Court vacancy occurred and was filled by an opposition party senate in an election year? You accused me of grasping at straws, so prove the point that it was an “aberration” and show me what the norm is.
I thinl Rubio claimed in 2016 it was 80 years ago.
Really tho, thats not much of a mathmatical anamoly. How often do Justices die while serving, 1 in 20 years or so. What are the odds its in their final year, 1 in 4. 4 x 20 = 80.
Alot of these 1 in 100 years etc are dumb. How often does a 1st term president, with an opposing senate, have a jjstide die, in an election year etc

It's a gross misrepresentation of what she said.
That wasn't an insult.
There's nothing unconstitutional about replacing her, per RBGs own words.
The point is Moscow Mitch did not follow protocol, inventing his new policy just 4 years ago. Now, he's not going to follow his own policy. Hypocrite.

Obama coming out and saying the nomination should wait until after the election is fucking hysterical. The emperor has no clothes.
Hypocritical how?? In that he feels the current president should be treated the same as the last President?! How is that view hypocritical? Do tell.
