Love it! Karma baby!

Exactly that! ^^

The Democrats don't give af about the American people as clearly shown during the health crisis. Attack Trump, that's all they are about. They are in fact rooting for this virus because without COVID you'd have Biden/Harris running against Trump's booming economy and low unemployment.

That being said... now it's time to push that SC bench further to the right. I will clean my guns with those sweet delicious liberal tears too.

Owned.

This is not the CNN poll, but the numbers are almost exact:
Hahah... a CNN poll? Maybe people are fed up with the Democratic BS and Trump has more supporters than we thought?

Trump and McConnell have the absolute legal right to seat a justice right now, no doubt about it. The question is what political price will they pay if they go forward with their jam job.

One poll? That’s your argument? What about the polls which show people to be in favor of going ahead with filling the seat? Ignoring them because they don’t fit the narrative?

Of course you are right the Constitution gives Trump and McConnell the legal right to jam this new justice down the voter's throats. No one questions that. At the same time, they also have the full authority to hold off and wait until after the election.

The decision to push forward with a new justice now is not a question of law, it is a question of choice. The Republicans are choosing to ignore the voters.
Democrats literally created an impeachment from whole cloth, have enabled rioters, and have threatened more riots if they don’t get their way, and you claim that they respect our political traditions? Where do you perform your standup act?

You can't say it was ok to deny Obama's nominee even a hearing and then say it is ok to allow Trump's nominee on circumstances even worse than previously (less than 50 days this time vs over 8 months last time).
What will your argument be if the nomination is held off and Trump wins (which is the most likely outcome of the upcoming election)? Wait for the next impeachment sham and see if the Democrats manage to toss him out?

Per bolded, no they didn't. Obama nominated someone. It didn't get done because the Democrats hadn't won enough Senate seats. Blame the voters in the states that did that, if you dare.

4) If the shoe were on the other foot, the Dems wouldn't think twice, so "do unto others" (the Bible)

If you have any issues with my sources...tough turds...deal with it!
Per bolded, even less when you consider the term ends in January.

It gathered responses from 1,006 American adults, including 463 Democrats and 374 Republicans

A survey of 1006 adult is NOT a majority of the American. Who gave these 1006 representative of the 350 millions of American? Are they even eligible to vote?

Reuters/Ipsos is a respected poll. They adjust their results based on "gender, age, race/ethnicity, region, and education" to match the actual demographics of America, as all good polls do. The estimated margin of error is +/- 3.5 points.

What the heck do you mean, Dems have more respect for our tradition than Rep do? I have to wonder where you come up with some of your idea?

As for the poll, I don't care who did the poll 100 people is not worth posting about and you say a good cross section of education, sex, etc. You don't know that, you just want to think you do, as usual.

Come on Elliott, regardless of your one way attitude you know this is true: they will probably win Fl one way or another anyway, certainly if her nominates a Cuban-American Fl is in the bag for him.

The same Democrats wearing encouraging us to wear masks since it has shown to mitigate the spread.

Yeah, those Democrats are attacking Trump who knew this was serious, downplayed it, admitted so much as to downplaying while lying to 330 million Americans all the while undermining efforts to contain it.

That's rich. Go tell us another fantasy tale.
