No, she doesn’t, you idiot. She has pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver. Not that that’s any better. If anyone can hold off death for six months by sheer force of will, it’s RBG. If she can hold off for three months and Biden wins, then we can invoke the ‘McConnell rule’ and declare any Trump appointee invalid. Sure, it’s bullsh*t, but who cares anymore? Both sides can play this game.
There is no McConnell Rule to invoke. The GOP will continue to control the Senate even after the election (if Trump loses), and they will gladly install a Trump pick after that date. Hypocrisy? Yes, of course. But it will happen, and there is nothing even a victorious Biden or Dens can do.
There was no ‘Biden rule’ to invoke either. And yet McConnell found one in order to appoint Gorsuch. Followed by the confirmation of Kavanaugh who was clearly unfit for the position by temperament, if nothing else. And that was after strongarming Kennedy to resign based on his son’s questionable dealings with Trump at Deutsche Bank. If Democrats win the Presidency, the Senate, and the House, then it’s time for some karma.

Please recall that after Obama was elected in '08, Dems were convinced that 'demographics are destiny' and the GOP would be forever punished for the Iraq War and crashing the economy.
Instead the Dems were totally blown out in '10 midterms.
No matter what Trump does, no matter how poorly the GOP behaves, if, in '22 Biden is the sitting president the Ds will likely be defending against another blow out (Biden will be holding the bag on a Trump/Covid disaster, while the GOP has reconnected with its concerns about the deficits, and the AOC faction is hollering that Biden isn't leftist enough).
