As Elleshoe and I agreed in the other thread, risking a second term of our great President is not worth it.

Wait
..wut?
A 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
