McConnell didn’t draw the distinction based on the composition of the Senate in 2016. His argument was one on principle - that in an election year the voters should decide.Quote:

MORE....no one wants to see that travesty the Dems pulled off in the Kavanaugh hearing. That 21 Senator panel and all the lies and all the stories and all the showboating...OMG! Whatever the simplest, to the point Senate rules are, do just that. The Dems while the majority in the Senate changed some of the rules, 2013, and the GOP has slam-dunked them twice, hopefully, thrice since then. Do it again Mitch! Eff 'em! Play the same games the Left plays, only being much smarter, it's easy to beat them at their own games.
I guarantee the Leftist thugs will be bussed in, paid (Soros), and will be turned loose to riot and to burn and to cause all kinds of harm and folks like Goosey, and the other libtards here, will applaud it all, while at the same time blaming Trump for it. So, since we all know exactly what will happen, then just ram home a VERY conservative SC justice. That piece of slime Roberts, a Bush nominee...should have guessed it, straight from The Swamp, is a lefty. No moderates, none of that stupidness trying to appease the Left with a nominee even one Dem might like...eff 'em! You can't appease the evil Left. Stand up and fight 'em!
Wrong! he says it clearly in that recorded interview. I just saw it yesterday, I think it was Brett Bair doing the interview, and McConnell reiterated the difference between 2016 and 2020. It really is that simple.Quote:

Well, you can bet that she will have been spotted by some dem operative holding a red solo cup next to a punch bowl at some frat party.Quote:

Libs can save their moral whining for those with short memories. Name a successor ASAP!
I know that McConnell says that now. But that was not the argument he made back then.Quote:

Speaking of Obama, here’s what he said in October 2016.Quote:

Actually, I haven’t seen any TV since RBG’s passing. I will watch some football today and tomorrow, but it is doubtful that I will see any TV news coverage of this for a few days. That isn’t where I get news anyway.Quote:

Well, if the Republicans do decide to flip the balance of power with a President that doesn’t even have support of the majority of the population, I would support expanding the court to flip it back.Quote:
