Way back when, 229 days ago, Antonin Scalia died and Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley said that it was way too late in the term of the sitting president for a nominee. That we had to wait until after the election to "let the people decide" who should be naming the Supreme Court. So, Senate Republicans, after this week in Trump, what do you think about that?
You don't even really have to go beyond 3 AM Friday morning and the tweetstorm of the century. Because nothing says presidential like refusing to let an extremely damaging story die, making it headline news for the fourth day in a row. So, yeah, a guy who takes to Twitter at 3:14 in the morning to call a young woman "disgusting" and "terrible," after he called her fat and horrible, yeah, that's a guy you want making the big decisions.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg in this week in Trump! The debate! The admitting that he doesn't pay taxes, and turning around and saying he never said what he said about his taxes an hour later! And speaking of debate lies, boy, Trump really killed it! Thirty-four lies in 90 minutes, and he only talked about half of the time!
Speaking of taxes, hey, how about that Foundation that isn't actually a foundation because it has never been certified as a charitable organization? That makes the fact that Trump hasn't actually given any of his own money to it in nearly a decade practically moot.
Oh, and hey, Cuba. He'd have a head start on Nixon when it comes to doing the president doing illegal things, since he's already broken the law by doing business in Castro's Cuba during the embargo.
He doesn't pay taxes, he has a scam charitable foundation that he hasn't even donated to and he illegally did business in Castro's Cuba. He attacks young women for their looks and is so certain he's in the right to do so he carries on the attacks for four days!
This? This is who Senate Republicans think should be in charge of nominating Supreme Court justices? And that's barely scratching the surface of just one week in Trump news. Every Republican senator—all the ones running for re-election and all the other ones too—need to be pressed on this, and pressed hard. Because it's on them, now. They have to answer what comes first: their party or their country.
Can you chip in $3 to each of these candidates to end Mitch McConnell's Senate leadership?
