      While true, also raises the point that there IS a politically winning strategy for GOP - to allow the FBI to probe (take issue off the table for Dem base), use delay in BS attacks against Dems for midterms (rile up their base), and vote during lame duck. It is INSANE they're not

      Like, I've thought about this, and the ONLY reason to not do that is if you think Kavanaugh did it and the FBI will find out. But even THEN, you just go and nominate Amy Coney Barrett. Honestly, I don't get the GOP not taking the easy political road here. It's baffling.

      it's about aristocracy and class solidarity, which is always strongest at the top, as @zachdcarter pointed out

          Oh, nm, misread this. That’s risky. If a new accuser comes up and he fails, they may run out of time to fill the seat

          If they operated by the book and honestly, yeah. But McConnell has no qualms about rushing through Barrett or someone in the time between elections and a Jan 2019 while everyone screams it's not precedent. Who knows, though.

          This is why McConnell et al are trying to jam the nomination through so fast. https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/1042446333351813121 …

          But, to me that's why you DON'T do it. You campaign on Dems 'obstructing' it, but never pull the trigger until after the election, in the lame duck, when it has no electoral consequences, even if he has 3 percent approval.

          Oh well sure on that, but even then, you take the political winning strategy now, mitigate some damage to you during the midterms, AND end up voting for him in the lame duck. Everyone "wins," from their perspective.
