Those are his exact words

I agree. He said that presidents should not name a nominee in an election year (you conveniently left out the part where he said that if the president does make a nomination in an election year, the senate should refuse to vote).

Here is Biden's naked hypocrisy Paul. In 2016, he an dObama violated the Biden rule, and nominated a candidate during an election year.

Therefore, Biden is every bit the hypocrite that McConnell and Graham are.

Sorry, what's god for the goose...

I'm struggling to figure out how you think you are refuting my point, when you are making my point. Biden did the opposite of what he asked Bush to do.

not going to happen. What will eventually happen, is that as people flee liberal states, those states will lose congressional seats, and therefore, electoral votes.

liberals don’t need to worry, according to the Babylon Bee, the 9th circuit court of appeals, has overturned the death of Ginsberg, declaring it unconstitutional.

so no worries.

I've only provided what he said - "...After the election"

Some will criticize such a decision and say it was nothing more than an attempt to save a seat on the court in the hopes that a Democrat will be permitted to fill it. But that would not be our intention, Mr. President, if that were the course we were to choose in the Senate — to not consider holding hearings until after the election. Instead, it would be our pragmatic conclusion that once the political season is under way, and it is, action on a Supreme Court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over."

and where will they go - to the warmer conserv. states and will turn them into blue states. Once Texas becomes blue (largely from Latinos) the Rep. party will be dead.

"no, he didn't say that"

Are you feeling OK? Yes, he did.

"I didn't conveniently leave anything out as I provided everything he said "

Wrong. Biden said that if a president made a nomination in an election year, the senate should refuse to have a vote. Watch the video!

Even the article you posted to "counter" my argument, admitted he said there should be no nominations in an election year. They just pointed out there didn't happen to be any nominations in that election year, so push never came to shove. But the article you posted, said that the Biden Rule was a rule saying presidents should not make nominations in an election year.

My god, you turned into Pete.

No. Again, you aren't thinking. The liberal whackos aren't feeing CT, why would they? Its conservatives who are fleeing.

You are 100% correct on TX flipping because of demographic shifts, and once that happens, it will be a gold mine for democrats. No way for a republican to win if TX flips. Republican presidential candidates will be dead.

You can't help yourself but constantly insult people.
