    In Kentucky, McConnell again signals that GOP could try to confirm any Trump nominee in a presidential election year, breaking from the standard he set with Merrick Garland. The comments raise stakes for the midterms since a Dem Senate almost certainly won’t move a Trump nomineehttps://twitter.com/meredithllee/status/1049323732861440001 …

    Manu Raju added,

    Meredith LeeVerified account @meredithllee
    McConnell again suggests Trump could get SCOTUS nom confirmed in 2020, if Rs hold senate. Asked if that's fair (he did the opposite to Merrick Garland) "Look, it's practical. There's no chance an opp party is going to fill a SCOTUS vacancy in the middle of an election year."

        He’s like a child, changing the rules of the game in whatever way it benefits him/his party. Except the game affects everyone, not just the politicians playing. He is shameless.

        All of this can be overturned. McConnell and trump believe that if they say something it will be done. That's fine, but politics is a human construct. Anything can be overturned. McConnell was the guy who tried to stop President Obama at one term. McConnell is an obstructionist.

        Allow me to translate. McConnell took advantage of the fact that, upon the inauguration of a black man, 30% of Republicans lost their minds, allowing him to de-legitimize Obama entirely. He’s unlikely to be that politically lucky twice.

        When will Democrats get it through their heads, the other side is not interested in finding common ground or playing by the rules. Until they can fight back, they deserve to keep losing.

        Norms and rules and the art of compromise are there for many reasons....one of the biggest reasons in a Democracy is that you will not always be in the majority.
