This is happening. You’ll save yourself a lot of disappointment if you just acknowledge that and stop looking for Republicans with a spine who are going to step in and stop it. Do what you want, but that’s my opinion.I guarantee you that Gardner doesn't want a vote before the election. Trump is not popular in Colorado at all right now.
You post here as much as I do, do you really think Republican senators see themselves as having a mandate to act with fairness, decency, and consistency?
Tribal partisanship is the first principle of the Republican Party, right now. Look at the responses in here. The woman’s body wasn’t even cold before you had people saying that they had to keep Democrats out of the senate and lusting over the idea of ramming another justice through.
If the Republican senate can hand their voters a win for 15 minutes, they’ll do it, even if It gets undone in some fit of retaliation in the 16th minute when Democrats take control. Their voters have all the forethought of a smash & grab robber. They don’t care about the country or even what’s best for them beyond the next culture war skirmish. It’s political hedonism.
Hopefully Democrats will follow the lead of Biden’s campaign and start behaving differently when they retake the government, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
