    Counterintuitive: If a Trump SCOTUS nominee is confirmed before the election, there’s less reason for his voters or swing voters to go to the polls and vote on SCOTUS makeup. Ideal situation for GOP would be a scenario in which change of power threatened that vacancy.

        Nope, there is always the possibility of an additional vacancy.

        Of course, but I seriously doubt the collective thought among R’s will be “We have won enough, lets stop”

        McConnell’s priority is to remake the court. He can’t control elections. He can control a nomination process.

        "The Senate stands ready to fulfill its constitutional role by offering advice and consent … we will vote to confirm Justice Kennedy’s successor this fall," McConnell said from the Senate floor. Minutes ago.

        I agree with this campaign tactic, but moving now however ensures confirmation. Best to take what you can today - democracy is really the art of what is possible

        By forcing a vote before the election, they force the conserva-Dems in the senate to make a difficult choice and then run it against them.

        I tend to agree, so Democrats will step in it again, setting up ideal conditions for GOP wins in November

        This is also the silver lining to the almost inevitable overturn of Roe v. Wade.
