Current polling isn't your friend on this. One poll is fairly even, but every other one shows the public does not favor this maneuver by the Senate.The GOP will lose the White House and the Senate if they play this moronic strategy of theirs.The Republicans are asking the same thing. Wait until the election, just 10 months away. Schumer said the same thing with the election 17 months away. Paybacks are hell aren't they.
No they are not saying wait until after the elections. They are saying "No" based on who the President is, not based on the qualifications of the nominee:
"This comes after McConnell issued his most definitive statement on Tuesday: There will be no Supreme Court nominee confirmed in President Barack Obama's final year in office.
In a sharply worded statement on the Senate floor, McConnell bluntly warned the White House that the GOP-controlled Senate would not act on anyone he chooses to sit on the high court."
