1. If McConnell says "then we'll confirm them in the lame-duck session anyway", they can do that... but then that also "takes the prize off the table". 2. If he says "then it would be up to the Democrats" ... and holds firm to that... well, he's losing a Supreme Court seat. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't quite get why the unnamed senator thinks this is a great strategy here. If McConnell says "we're not going to vote until after the election", then people will of course ask "what if Republicans lose the election?" He has 4 ways to answer, all of which have some issues: https://t.co/G9dkNAhCOe — PolitiTweet.org

3. If he says "then it would be up to the Democrats" ... but re-negs and tries to confirm anyway ... OK, maybe? But that could be wildly unpopular, might lose a couple of institutionalist senators, and could trigger retaliation from Democrats (e.g. expanding the court). — PolitiTweet.org
