My worry,
You have GOP Senators that are in toss-up elections will go on the record saying they will uphold the 2016 precedent of no new appointments in an election year.
No new SCOTUS judge before November 4.
Regardless the outcome of the election, the lame duck Senate will ram through the next justice.
GOP have a better chance at keeping swing states and still get their justice.
Note, its their justice not Trump. Trump is the pawn in this SCOTUS long game. McConnell will say "Appoint So-in-So" thats who Trump will appoint and voila. Done.
If Trump loses and moves his retirement home to the suburbs of Moscow, the Pence will make the appointment.
That's my worry.
