The Conservatives have put the Entire GOP in a popular vote trap. Scalia may have been an iconic, "A(s)S-hole," but Ginsburg became an iconic, "RGB:" Even in books and novels: Popular, bi-partisan, and liberal in rulings. The Conservatives could support the legal basis of the iconic legal interpretations, even.
So in rushes a Trumped-Up nominee, and McConnell with. . . .an unknown, of relatively low stature and standing. If the nominee is perceived an ideologue with an agenda--so painted, so described, and so obvious--then the confirmation process will call attention to the Liberal Democratic side of the general election--and support it.
GOP up for office can only succeed with a Center-liberal nominee to point to as one of their own. The Trumped-Up election prospects get way less support, the further down-ticket they go: Already.
For any Democrats, not only does a "Talking Point," happen, but also a debate position with the compare and contras on their side. Ginsburg was a Clinton nominee, and famously Civil Rights liberal.
A Compare and Contrast--RBG with any nominee--is certain.
