theyd definitely jump at the chance, however theyd spin it in a way which makes them seem reluctantly benevolent... "It is with great sadness that X died and we must respect their passing, and it is with heavy hearts that we must push forward asap into a brighter future"
I love how the left is screeching "BUT YOU'D BE HYPOCRITES!"
And...? Welcome to politics, bitch.
Feels kind of nice to be on the side doing the dicking for once instead of just calling the shitheads out.
As if they ever hesitated a moment on being a hypocrite.

President's Job: Nominate SCOTUS candidate. Senate's Job: Advise & Consent. If the Senate doesn't consent, then they don't appoint.
2016 Obama: Did his job. Nominated Garland.
2016 Senate: Did their job. Did not consent to Garland.
...
2018 Trump: Did his job. Nominated Kavanaugh.
2018 Senate: Did their job. Consented to Kavanaugh.
...
2020 Trump: Will do his job.
2020 Senate: Will do their job.
I see no inconsistencies here. Perhaps politician's excuses & blaming, but they are doing their job correctly.
The problem I see is that Rinos are going to torpedo anyone.
