I’m hoping so too!

Mainstream media swamp, bought over journalists making the loudest noise whereas disciplined silent majority are getting ready to speak once again to the stupefaction of the political establishment, the swamp and the cabals.Psychophantic pollsters shall yet learn the hard way.

Anyone siding with the senate democrats may be called a republican but they will not be a conservative!

42 Days 42 Days 42 Days I was born 5/22/1954, the week Brown v. Board of Education was announced. It is now all hands on deck if we want to prevent the country reverting to its status before that date. We are again called to cause good trouble. Pass it on.

He's a disgrace.

We need more than hope

A vote for Biden is a VOTE for the democrats radical socialist agenda.

Hey Senator, Justice Ginsberg doesn't find it hypocritical in the least bit.

Don't hold your breath.

Keep the hope but the republicans mouth empty words. They speak with forked tongue can’t be trusted

Hopes don’t accomplish shit!

The seat belongs to the people. Get your act together and start thinking of the people not politics. It is the peoples seat and the Constitution says fill it. So do the job you are being paid to do. You work and are paid by the people. Stop playing games with our lives.

Does this pass the shoe test? If the roles were reversed and it was a Democrat president in an election year would SpeakerPelosi chuckschumer wait until the president was elected? Yeah, I didn't think so. DemsAreDestroyingAmerica

Rank hypocrisy? What about the Justice Act of Senator Tim Scott receiving ZERO support from Democrats?

Its not hypocrisy. They kept a liberal judge off SCOTUS in 2016 and now they’re trying to confirm a conservative Justice to the bench in 2020. Thats what their conservative constituents expect them to do.

SenatorDurbin this was her dying wish, not what her chemo brain(no disrespect) said RBG RBGRevolution WalkAwayFromDemocrats WalkAway BLEXIT

Good luck SenatorDurbin! Remember your insensitive remarks to Sen. Tim Scott?

Not happening so don’t waste your time.

It seems like you lucky if you get three

Instead of defending ' We The People's 'rights the Republican Party and Senate are of a vicious 'our way or highway' mentality and 'To Hell With We The People' type of government and democracy.

The DEMS are just RANK!!

They beat you at your own game! You idiots were warned not to change the rules on shortsighted political posturing. WalkAwayFromDemocrats

Ha! After the whole Russian collusion investigation & impeachment joke—- Rank hypocrisy is Dems stock & trade

While GOP is distracting America over the Supreme Court, seems everyone is forgetting the Covid subsidies that the Senate is sitting on. This subsidy has a more immediate impact on everyday life.

They can keep hoping.

Pray for it

Forget it, a couple or three Repuglicans will say no but it us a done deal. Democrats need to move on and VOTE BLUE

Collins and Murkowski have already indicated they will take the rubles.

Hope is not a strategy

Make no mistake. To Susan Collins, “should” means “I’ll vote with the Dems unless Mitch needs me.”

Make sure Manchin doesn’t cross lines. He’s fine it before!!!!

I beg you, democrats (DNC), please please please devise an actual strategy to counter a potential SCOTUS nomination & confirmation Hoping & waiting & threatening next year's action is garbage. Come up with a plan. You earn, individually, $175,000+ a year—now is time to earn it.

Hope is not a strategy!

I hope there aren't any Republican senators gullible enough to fall for this trap.

Yeah, seems they leave a lot of Important things to 'hope'. Like they're all in Kansas waiting on a friggin fairy to guide them. How about doing what their oppositions done to them They might finally discover there's no All Powerful Oz. Just a small man wearing a wig.

If any of you REP or DEM votes against a Hispanic female what does the make you? In my eyes it makes you a racist! What will you call yourself? Hispanics for TRUMP 2020! Finish the wall and keep the illegals out!

Hope? They better have more than that. Figure out how to delay it and more will VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

During. We are voting now. During, not before.

Sadly, Sen Dubin is dreaming. There are not four Reep senators who care that they're hypocrites. Like realDonaldTrump, LindseyGrahamSC and MoscowMitch, they are incapable of feeling shame. They don't care what voters think. They care only about power & minority rule.

if repubs could vote secretly there’d be a different outcome but no one has any spine or morals to go outside the party to go against trump publicly. they’ve literally put party over country.

I don’t get the hypocrisy argument - this is the type of thing that both parties have taken both sides on through history.

Biden: Senate Shouldn't Take Up Supreme Court Vacancy Until After The ElectionThe Democratic presidential nominee said Friday he thought voters should have a say in the makeup of the high court through their choice for president — the position taken by the GOP in 2016. Strange - Dems decried this action earlier, but now agree with McConnell’s position re Merrick Garland? Well, yeah, no duh- that's the standard that Mitch set during Obama's last year. That was a hefty chunk of a year too, not just 6 weeks or so. GOP did demanded it in February 2016. It says alot about them if they dont do it now.

Supreme Court vacancy scrambles 2020 Senate mapAfter Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said late Friday he would hold a floor vote on President Trump’s nominee to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat, attention quickly turned to the most endangered Republicans on the Senate map Damn right. These endangered Republicans better vote to move Trump's nominee to confirmation or they are going to get thrown out of office. I'm thinking that the interpretation of the so-called BidenRule ought to be left to JoeBiden to whom it is attributed.
