Did Mitch McConnell Just Give Republicans A Way to Vote Against Trump??

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell on Monday may have given conservatives a way out of Voting for Trump! 

McConnell indicated, for those conservatives worried about how a democratic president might affect the make-up of the Supreme Court, there is nothing to worry about.  He may have a way around that.

The Senate Majority Leader said he is committed to confirming outgoing President Trump’s nomination to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the 87-year-old liberal justice who became known across generations as the “notorious RBG.”

This means Republicans who were planning to simply hold their nose and vote for Trump to ensure a conservative judge would be appointed to replace the octogenarian who has suffered health problems these past years, no longer need to do so.   

While some Republicans have already crossed party lines, many have held firm to Trump because of concerns about maintaining the conservative make-up of the Supreme Court.

With the Senate firmly set to ensure a conservative appointment in the final days before the election, those who express such concerns no longer need to suffer Trump as the Republican Party’s only hope for a continued conservative court. 

This shift could have a stark effect on the coming electoral standoff, as many Republicans have been more concerned over the appointment of justices than with any misdeeds in which Trump may have been involved.
