In what should surprise no one, Mitch McConnell revealed that his reasoning for refusing to even acknowledge a judicial nominee that Republicans dared Obama to nominate was bullshit. The idea that a SCOTUS nominee shouldn't be considered during an election year no longer matters to Mitch as he answered a hypothetical question during a town hall.
Asked what he'd do if there was a vacancy on the court during the election, McConnell smirked and said "I'd fill it". This is great news for the Heritage foundation who has been supplying Trump with a list of nominees since before he took office.
