2020 US General Election Thread IX: One Month and Counting

[Thermodolia]

Of course you wouldn’t. I’m openly socialist who has said that capitalism is evil on multiple occasions and that gun control is dangerous.

I’m like your worst nightmare.

It’s more about your affinity for coups and liking of dictatorship. I’d vote for a socialist in the general election.

I don’t believe you. You said that Sanders would be terrible for this country yet he’s not even socialist.

So I highly doubt you’d vote for an actual socialist

[Telconi]

So, the SCOTUS pick is tomorrow and it sounds like Graham already has a hearing schedule lined up to do it ASAP. Gonna be really interesting to see how things play out.

Honestly given the shitshow with Kavanaugh, I imagine they're going to truncate it as much as possible and give the Democrats as little say as they can.

Yes, I wonder what kind of personal and political attacks the Democrats will charge Trump's highly qualified right wing conservative Republican US Supreme Court nominee with?

Like they did with Brett Kavanaugh.

Just to follow up on the Ron Paul blurb, he says he’s fine.

Well that’s a relief

Attempting to forgo a democratic process just so Trump can have the last laugh when he loses the election.

If he was the nominee I would have.

SCOTUS appointments are no laughing matter.

Something to keep in mind when Republicans wax on about the ‘will of the people...’

We’ve identified 12 polls so far that have asked some version of the question, “Should Ginsburg’s seat be filled this year by Trump, or next year by the winner of the 2020 presidential election?” And on average, 52 percent of respondents have said to wait, while only 39 percent have said Trump should fill the seat now.

I said so trump can have the last laugh.

The situation is terrible.

Can the Republicans become more anti-democratic?
Wait...don't answer. I'm sure they will find more ways of being anti-democratic through democratic means.

I saw what you wrote.

It's downright amazing, if they can pull it off.

[Greater Miami Shores]

President Trump has the right under the US constitution to nominate any highly qualified, right wing conservative Republican candidate to the US Supreme Court during his presidency.

A Democrat President Hillary for example, would nominate a highly qualified Leftist Liberal Democrat nominee to the US Supreme Court during her presidency, there is no difference.

I don't have statistics or anything, but anecdotally the possibility of replacing Scalia, Kennedy and Ginsburg is what got a lot of people I know to fall in line behind Trump. It's also getting them to do the same this year cuz the possibility of Trump replacing Breyer if he gets another term is pretty high.

Trump has never cared about the people of the US, as long as he is liked, and he can do what he wants, that's all that matters.

Republicans truly hate democracy. Senator Rick Scott of Florida has proposed a law that would outlaw counting ballots 24 hours after polls close.

So why is it so important that the GOP disregard the will of the people and their own precedent to force this through rather than waiting until after the guaranteed Trump Landslide?

Surely that breaches some form of Federal Election law?

Because it would be much harder to confirm a nominee in the lame duck period and this isn't a win anyone wants to pass up.

Interesting? Not really.....well maybe. Everybody expects Barrett and it turns out its either Cotton or Cruz. Now that would be funny. It will probably be barrett so he can show how he supports women.

It might. Elections are largely run by states.

From a Republican political perspective that would be awesome, not from a Democrats political perspective, of course.

I still maintain that him picking Cruz would be the funniest thing to happen this year. Imagine those Judiciary Committee hearings lol
