He'd be stupid not to. If he has the votes. Why in Gods name wouldn't he do it before the election, if he has the votes?

And even I would not support doing it after the election, if Trump loses or if the Democrats take the senate.

There's a great chance Trump loses and the dems take the senate, so why wouldn't Trump/McConnell do this before the election? From the political view, the chance to replace Ginsberg with Amr Barrett is a gift from God, it's literally having a winning powerball ticket. Why wouldn't he cash it in?

McConnell has said very clearly that he wants a vote before the election, so you're not really sticking you neck out with that prediction.

Has Romney said anything?
