[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is important to remember the long game here.  The Republicans in the Senate demonstrated a total lack of principle in 2016 by refusing to allow Democrats to fill the Scalia seat.  Every single Republican senator was on board, and a number of them are up for re-election for the first time since then and can be held accountable at the ballot box. Trump now is just doing his job by vetting, interviewing, and sending up a nominee to the Senate.  He was not a senator in 2016 or even an elected official.  McConnell would likewise be doing his job now (unlike then) by scheduling a vote as soon as he can.  What happened in the past is over.  There is a good chance that the Republican overreach will help Biden secure the electoral votes he needs to win (just look at the fundraising gains) and turn the Senate to Democrats, but Democrats must be careful to keep their powder dry!  While it may feel good to protest, it would be counterproductive to overreact and take to the streets when a nominee is announced and/or pressure senators outside of official channels during the hearings.  There needs to be some decorum or there could be a backlash against Democrats that will help Trump and Republicans in November.  [/quote]

Hmm...... And yet, the GOP GAINED Senate seats in the 2018 mid terms.  
And, you think that filling a SCOTUS  seat now will result in them losing seats.  Ok.

And, as far as fundraising..... wonder how much of that money to ActBlue came from big donors.  Or, foreign donors.

This is a recent development that will remind voters of what Republicans did in 2016.  For example, Lindsay Graham is up for re-election this year and already in big trouble.  His stunning reversal on "the Biden Rule" could cost the Republicans the Senate.

If you are in favor of Citizen United, as you seem to be as a Fox News viewer, then there is nothing for you to worry about with regard to Democratic fundraising.  Maybe see if your guy can raise a few bucks.  He is way behind.
