hold off on the Supreme Court nomination. They know the presidency is a goner for them and highly likely that the senate also is toast.

They are basically admitting electoral defeat by their actions on the supreme court’s vacancy with the death of one of the finest people to ever grace the halls of justice.

Good riddance, don’t let the door hit ya in the ass on yer way out republicans. I will personally be SOOOOOOO GLAD to see them crawl away like the disgusting things they.

This election isn’t about draining the swamp, it’s about draining a septic tank political party from the hallowed halls of decent democracy.
