Senate Republicans have signaled that they would likely fill a vacancy to the Supreme Court ahead of the presidential election, but it is unclear whether the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will change their stance.

This is going to start a whole new round of crazy!
Fair play is now renamed:

He really has no choice politically. If he doesn't put a butt in that seat, the Democrats probably take the Senate because clearly that is the prize. They may take it anyway but instead of academic ideas about what a Democratic Controlled Senate would do...it would be you elect this...you get that or you get 4 years of "no" if the blob wins. The hypocrisy may cost R's the senate but he'll keep his seat. He may lose that if he were to not be a hypocrite.
This will motivate every voter to get out and vote. Suspect they will have control of Supreme Court, but not likely to win the Presidency or keep the Senate.
Who?
What if Trump says "let's wait until after the election"? That is going to ensure they ALL vote. Even the RINOS will be cornered.
If Trump does it before, he chooses a woman and gains more female votes. He's in a win/win situation.
Voters will look at it as a complete betrayal by MCConnell, who said 10 months before election is too close before an election to make such a decision. They will take it out on Senate Republicans and on trump.
If by voters you mean the radical left then yes, I agree.
Otherwise most common folk are gonna look at all the shit going on in our nation right now, mostly caused by democrats and rectify that first.
NO, actually I was talking voters in general. Some people value fair play, and pushing through this time would not look like fair play, unless done after election, and trump won the election.
There is no fair play anymore. Kavanaugh hearings demonstrated that.

If the republicans nominated and appointed a replacement...that would be fair play since the rules....The Constitution.....give them that actual ability......
The democrats smearing Justice Kavanaugh was not fair play....obama using illegal FISA warrants to spy on Trump...was not fair play....obama using the FBI to destroy General Flynn...was not fair play......obama using the IRS to deny 501c3 status to conservative groups...was not fair play......the democrats impeaching Trump for a normal phone call...was not fair play...the democrats burning, looting, beating and murdering Americans and assassinating police officers.....is not fair play.
So White 6 can shove that "Fair Play," bullshit where the shun doesn't shine.....
