The Left is Unhinged. There can be no peace.

How are they so sure they win the Presidency and the Senate?
Screw the left.
They've played the fear card so much in four years all they're hitting is numb scar tissue.

I forgot that part of the constitution that says a president ceases acting as president during the last year of his term.
Dims and libtards, always moving the goal posts.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, which I am not, but didn't Obama nominate Merrick Garland in his lame duck year? Thankfully Republicans controlled the Senate and because Garland was not up to the Republican standards he was not considered. Now Trump has the same ability to nominate a Justice that the Republican controlled Senate can and should take up for consideration.
It will be a moot point when Trump wins reelection and the Republicans hold onto the Senate.

How can one violate the public trust by following the constitution? The constitution essentially defines what the public has entrusted to the government.
Yep...
Final year of a second 4 year term with a Senate majority held by the opposing party
vs
4th year of a first 4 year term with a likely 4 year re-election term with a Senate majority held by the same party
Democrats are morons if they think that's an apples to apples comparison.
I disagree about it being apples to oranges. As said in other threads, you are president until you aren’t, and you work as president until you are no longer president. The difference is in the senate this time than the last time. GOP senate, GOPish president. Where this will be highly intriguing is when the dems have both the presidency and the senate if the Supreme Court holds (assuming trump appoints, successfully, a repacement) and how they openly stack the court.
Which they cannot do without holding the branch or having the votes.
Yes I know demographics change and eventually it could/will happen, hopefully after I depart from this shitty mess

I think their threats to expand the number of justices to "stack" the court will backfire. They can't openly call for an apolitical justice to be appointed while actively calling for "stacking" the court without getting a bunch of eyebrows raised.
Sure they can call for it and then stack it. It is hypocrisy for sure, but when has that really stopped either side? I agree, it could and probably would backfire. People have accepted 9 justices as the norm. Doesn’t mean they wouldn’t try it. Right now, they are continuing the tantrums that many are sick of. They will, at some point, have the executive branch and the senate again. Matter is when that happens and what the climate is at the time. I was concerned about Gorsuch, though he has mostly proven me wrong. So far, none of the appointments has been bad. Kavanaugh was another tantrum circus, but he has done quite well, just see RBGs comments on him.
Stacking is risky. Dems do it to 11. Repubs do it to 13. And so on.
I will add this, I think the focus is on Barrett...I do not see that as his pick. If he goes with Lagoa (FL, I think), the Democrats will have no argument. She checks a lot of boxes. Female. Constitutionist, consistent. I would love to see her as the nominee. I did not think Merrick was a horrible choice for Obama, so who knows.
They could argue that, good point. I do not think that would go over very well with women voters, though. “Would a man get the same criticism...” There is nothing controversial about her, imo.
Well the lefties wipe their Vagina's and Mangina's with the Constitution everyday. Its just old White Men mumbo jumbo to them.
I would certainly support either woman. I’m sure there are hundreds of advisors playing this through like we are.
Garland's very questionable previous decisions on the second amendment is enough to disqualify him IMO.
Why does it have to be a woman? What happened to the best qualified for the job?
Demorats know they will never be questioned on their statements.
