Supreme Court vacancy

I guess any political pissing can go here and keep the RIP thread just condolences.

Mitch is going to Mitch. If the dems can’t stop it, they can’t stop it. But there is a price to be paid. This would be the final nail in civil democracy and decorum. The future generations are going to be majority Democrat. In 20 years even Texas will be blue or at least tightly contested. You can steal a SC seat now but within my lifetime, it will be Dems controlling the legis and executive for decades to come.

Older white people and rural whites are a decreasing demographic. Democrat voters are only rising. It’s inevitable. 10 to 20 years from now republicans can whine but statesmanship was killed by McConnell.

Cry some more lib

Lol many will ... I’m okay. If Mitch can get it in, he can get it in.

Personally for the country sake, and his reelection chance Trump should put forth his candidate ask Biden to do the same, and ask the senate to wait until january. By making the election about the SC he will have an energized base and the liberals will be divided over who there nominee should pick.

And, by taking the high road of waiting, the country will hopefully accept the outcome in January more easily.

While a conservative in this seat would cement the majority for a long time having a moderate liberal which is who Biden would have to put forth, it would still keep or shift the balance to the right some.

But Trump is likely going to name someone, and the Senate Republicans will screw it up by attacking each other rather than looking at the long game.

That coffin is already nailed up. If the other part is true, that's actually an argument to try to cram one down now. And pick the youngest candidate to boot because we might never get a chance to appoint one again.

When people see the devastation of liberal financial policies and as conservatives shed their outdated social policies the balance will shift again. That is the pendulumn of politics and it will always happen. I will be glad when race is no longer a tool that dems use to separate us.

CRED - race is a part of it. But also gender and age. Each year the dem base grows, the republican base shrinks. Republicans tried to shred their outdated social platform leading up to 2016 ... then trump happened.

I personally wish someone like Kasich or Paul Ryan would step forward and steer the Republican Party back to center. I’m 42 and I should be morphing into a republican but I just can’t get on board with a Trump train wreck or a Ted Cruz or a Tom cotton. If they guys follow trump, lots of 40 and 50 something educated won’t be switching over.

The Republican Party is literally dying. They usually only lead in white voters but even that is changing.

You can’t defend a guy like trump then expect independents or educated people to join.

Devastation of liberal financial policies??

Come on c red .... that’s laughable considering what Trump has done btw tarriffs requiring huge bailouts for farmers (bigger than Obama during the recession created by bush), sky rocketing deficit accrues during a time of good growth economy ... trumps gdp is average compared to what it should be .. tax reform intentionally targeting blue states ...

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2018/03/20/1-trends-in-party-affiliation-among-demographic-groups/I am fine with the republican party dying but the values of fiscal conservatism (obviously Trump is not that) wont so at some point a party without the race/gender stigma that supports non liberal/socialist platforms will take hold either under a republican banner or like the WFT under a name not yet known.

What his policies show is that if there is not a viable sane economic party we will be headed the way of argentina.
