With Senate Democrats in the minority and helpless to stop President Trump and Senate Republicans from confirming the next nominee to the Supreme Court, ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News spent a portion of Thursday’s broadcasts looking to a few marquee, moderate GOP Senators to block whatever nominee was put forward. They were also worried of red state Democrats who would cross the aisle.

“Republicans are planning to rush-- push through the confirmation process for the President’s Supreme Court nominee and despite their majority in the Senate, a few key Republicans could make a very close confirmation vote,” announced anchor Lester Holt.

NBC congressional correspondent Kasie Hunt appeared shocked Republicans would try to get a nominee confirmed at all and even seemed to suggest they might lose control of the Senate because of it. “Republicans planning to hold a confirmation vote before the midterm elections, refusing Democratic demands for a delay,” she whined. “Even though they could lose control of the Senate in November.”

Who the hell cares what these Rat pimps have to say about shit. They don't set the news cycle anymore. They are not taken seriously anymore. Their biases are as blatant as any time in their history. This nomination is happening and it will be someone off the list, which the MSM hates each and every one.

Elections have consequences.

I'm surprised President Trump has not made the SCOTUS nominee dependent on the GOP majority squashing the Mueller investigation.
