McConnell will try to make a deal with the Democrats on Supreme Court pick.

[kentuck]

It's just the way he operates.

He would like to get a promise from the Democrats that, if they win the Senate, they will not change the 60-vote rule for passing legislation. In that case, even if Republicans lose their majority, he would still maintain control of the Senate, even as the Minority Leader. He could freeze up the Senate just as he did under Obama for 8 years.

If Republicans lose their majority, the Democrats would get to choose the next Supreme Court Justice to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

In my opinion, that would not be a deal the Democrats should accept.

1. Just make the deal and then break it. Mitch would respect that.

[unblock]

4. Exactly. We'll say, sure we made a deal but the election overrode it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Yeah, no (not trying to be an ass) elections are going to be stolen. USPS will hold

up 20 - 30 million ballots, GOP will steal many elections and he wont have to make a deal.

I hate predicting dire stuff, but

[SlogginThroughIt]

6. I believe you are right as well

[soothsayer]

10. Well they will TRY

We’ll see whether they succeed

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. No deals, and the filibuster must die. Nt

[dustyscamp]

5. I think I remember the last time the Dems made a deal with McConnel they got egg all over their face

[USALiberal]

7. Not a chance in hell! nt

[Codeine]

8. McTurtle can suck it. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

9. This

No deals.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. No deal.

[Happy Hoosier]

12. No way...

He stands to cement his legacy by changing the SCotUS for a generation. If he has the courts, a lot of Democratic legislation dies in the courts.

[Yavin4]

16. Forget about Single Payer, Green New Deal, income inequality, Obamacare...you name it.

It all dies in the SCOTUS. All of it. Anything that actually helps people in any way. Gone.

[Happy Hoosier]

18. And the assholes that refused to support Hillary

Will blame it on Biden.

I am so, so tired.

[In It to Win It]

13. Ask Susan Collins about her deal that she's still waiting for

[BainsBane]

14. No, he won't

He'll move right away. They care about the court way more than the 60 vote rule. Republicans live to take away the rights of Americans.

[kentuck]

15. And he cares more about Mitch than he cares about the Court.

He will do some slick maneuvering to protect his own power, even if he loses the Senate.

[Phoenix61]

17. This! Evil little shits loyalty ends at the tip of their nose. nt

[GusFring]

19. LOL. Yeah, he's going to deal. This is his wet dream. Appointing her replacement.
