These require yes or no answers.

1. Does Trump have a Constitutional right to nominate someone to fill the vacancy on the SCOTUS before the e******n?

2. Does the Senate have the Constitutional right to advise, and consent to the nomination without regard to the e******n?

3. In 2016 did the Senate have the Constitutional right to advise Obama as a lame duck President not to make a nomination at that time?

Too many questions. Not simple enough.

Yeah, you have to make it really simple for them. Just one question:

1. Do you believe Trump has done/will do anything right?

We all know the answer ... that pretty much eliminates the need for any followup questions.

4. In 2016 should the Republican run Senate have used a different reason to block Obama's nomination, rather than claiming it was an e******n year and the people should be allowed to v**e on the issue?

In 2016 President Obama was a lame duck President with no chance of re-e******n. He also had a Republican Senate which wouldn't have confirmed any appointment sent them.

In 2020 President Trump has a good chance of re-e******n and he has a Republican Senate which may or may not approve an appointment sent to them. Apples and oranges. Mike

Avoiding the question

It's okay to admit that the Republicans shouldn't have used that explanation in 2016...

Politics is chalk full of hypocrisy and gotcha moments

Canckus, Like in 2016 when Obama said that the Constitution says that the President shall nominatre, and the Senate shall confirm Supreme Court Justices. He said that the Constitution DOES NOT SAY, Unless it's an E******n year!

We care not what anyone makes of this. It's our war and the "Republicans" are doing what we're making them do. You don't actually think the spineless worms would show initiative on their own, do you?

Since when do the people have a right to v**e for Supreme Court justice?
