The Senate is not required to take up a nomination from the president.
So you have admitted the hypocrisy. In first instance, the official Senate position conveyed by McConnell was that the Senate should not take up a nomination so close (8 months) to an election, because it could go against what the people might want. In the second instance, the fact that an election was less than 2 months away did not matter to the same party.
If you can't see that as hypocrisy, you either don't know what hypocrisy is or you are engaged in some extreme rationalization. So you are more interested in "winning" than in democratic principles...which has become the norm for the bottom feeders.

Ok. We agree that McConnell is an idiot who should have simply said "we don't have to do that, and we won't."
That does not mean the Senate had to take up the nomination, and he could have used literally any reasoning he wanted for not doing so.
It wasn't unprecedented. It wasn't unique. It wasn't unusual. It wasn't hypocrisy.
It's just how our system works. You're fooling yourself if you don't think the Dems would have done the exact same thing. I mean, they're talking about blowing up the entire system of government to stack the court.
