So its not really a surprise. The SCOTUS is used as a campaign tool EVERY election, by both sides.

Because he would appoint an anti-choice judge to the SC.

So, there is some truth in this utterance of Trump’s. However remember, even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.

" I hope Republican Voters, and others, are watching, and studying, the Democrats Playbook."

Study it so what?... Republicans can block a Democratic nominee for Supreme Court in the future for no reason?... for a year?... oh wait.
They already did that.

A lot of Democrats don't pay attention to the importance of the Supreme Court until its too late, its why turnout in midterms has been abysmal compared to Republicans.

Democratic nominee made it very clear they didn't give a damn about the SC. In fact they made a point of it by arguing they were "tired of voting for the lesser of the two evils"

That was a LIE then, and it is obvious NOW just how much bullshit that is now


With the Jill Steins, Susan Sarandons, Cornell West, and the others who went out of their way to undermine, distort, and LIE, not only about the Democratic nominee in 2016, but encourage the naive and guilable to believe their garbage, helped propel trump into the WH


It didn't take much either. Less than 1% in all those critical swing states.


They also successfully contributed to a lot of those who didn't vote, and gave us the Senate we have now.


Every DEMOCRAT running for Senate in those critical swing states lost to the incumbent, establishment, republican.

Am I angry at what trump and the republicans are doing, you're damn right I am, but my anger extends beyond them
