Lisa Murkowski, has already said she won't vote for a nominee until after the election. Susan Collins is in a dogfight in Maine and voting for Trump's nominee might sink her chances. And of course Mitt Romney will salivate at the chance to screw Trump.
There's no chance any of the Dems will jump ship. Can MAGA get his choice confirmed with 50 votes?
The good news is, the Democrats will show the country how evil they are ...and Trump will win easily...
we will get the conservative judge in the end...that's how this will play out

Ill disagree here. Getting this seat filled with a conservative is key. The impact of this nomination will be felt for decades if not forever. Im certainly pro Trump and want to see him re-elected but I see this nomination as worthy of risking Trump not being elected especially given the Republican majority in the Senate.
Now that having been said, you certainly do your homework regarding which republicans will support this and which will not and if you don't have the votes then you take the high road and kick the can for the next president to nominate.

Trump waiting would be a mistake. Many of his 2016 voters picked him because of 1 thing and that was to appoint conservatives to the court. It’s on a tee for him to do just that. It’s also an opportunity to put the pressure on fringe Senators to show their base their true colors. Trump should do his job as POTUS and nominate a candidate, after that what happens in the senate isn’t under his control

Ted Cruz said it best the biggest risk is having a contested election with 8 justices on the court and the possibility of a 4 - 4 split. That will be a huge constitutional crisis which cannot happen in our world today.

This is precisely the reason the Republicans were voted in as the majority in the Senate. This specific Court replacement. To refuse to vote of to vote no is an absolute slap in the face to one's constituents. This is it. The Senate Superbowl.

Don't go wobbly. This is one of the main reasons Trump and a Senate majority was elected. This specific seat. When you get someone through, you take away the issue before the election and deflate the Left.

Already people on Twitter saying that since McSally was appointed, if Mark Kelly wins the AZ seat, he could be sworn in by he end of November.

This is bar shite crazy. The opportunity to replace a bad justice with a good one has presented itself. Why on Earth would he wait?
If he comes out and says that he will pass on nominating until after the election, that is just one more motivating factor that could drive liberals to the polls. Conversely, he’s not going to lose votes by doing things that his constituents actually want.

I can’t see Romney voting no unless there is enough no votes . Same will go with Manchin. They will have a hard time keeping their seats with a no vote for the nominee.

Susan Collins is old and retirement age. One of these old folks needs to take one for the nation and let the chips fall where they may.

Trump still needs to nominate someone. Hopefully a conservative af female latino. Make Dems and RINOs vote against that demo....lol.

Exactly.

Better to fill the seat and risk a second term than lose both the seat and the term.
Besides, if the election goes to the Court, better to have as many conservative, Constitutionalists on the bench as possible.

If only three defect and they vote no Pence could break the tie.

Romney, Collins, the AK lady wont be voting for/against a process or Trump. It's an up or down vote on whether Barrett is a competent jurist.
Not sure how those three could vote No on Barrett and explain it.

I believe Trump should wait until after the election. Nothing motivates his base to vote like a Supreme Court Nominee. And plus, Trump is gonna win in a landslide.
Trump can’t pick the Justice by himself. If Republicans lose the Senate Trump will have to appoint a compromise candidate. If Republicans lose the Senate and Presidency it won’t matter, because the Dems will pack the court.
These are dangerous times. There are several scenarios in which the dems will tear down the institutions standing between us and the tyranny of the majority. If this comes to pass a horrible period of social disintegration could ensue.

Like the 2nd term is not at risk anyway? The cheat is on the move and the 2nd term is at risk now in MI and PA.
Nominating is not a risk for the Prez. The senate is the one doing the work. If you are a dem, Ind, or moderate voting for Trump, i don't know if this changes your vote

Do not agree, even though I want Trump to win, SCOTUS is for life and will help with legal battles that will surely come in the future.

stacked conservative court for the next 20 years is pretty enticing vs 4 years of a presidency with no house to go along with it.
I think he should appoint someone, but I also fully expect the next Dem president to add seats to the bench and stack with dems. They will 100% use this as an excuse as to why an “impartial” SCOTUS is imperative.
