That deal wouldn't work. McConnell can't just say Garland will get Breyer or Ginsburg's seat. Trump would have to nominate Garland.

Will say, Senate Dems fricked the Senate forever by requiring it to be a simple majority for cabinet confirmations instead of requiring 60. That hurt them for the DeVos vote.

Of course Trump would nominate Garland in this scenario. I believe the Senate is looking over the abyss and is starting to reconsider the path its on. Harry Reid is a huge reason the Senate is where it is.
