Dick Durbin: Blocking Trump's Supreme Court pick more important than red state Dems getting re-elected....
A top Democrat in the Senate said his vulnerable colleagues from red states "understand" that fighting to stop President Trump's Supreme Court pick is more important than getting re-elected in 2018.
Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., was pressed on this "dilemma" that Democrats face as the 2018 midterms approach during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"Staying united to stop the Supreme Court pick could cost you red state senators. Not fighting it as hard might allow the red state senators to get re-elected and get Democrats in control of the Senate. That's your dilemma," host Chuck Todd posited on Sunday.
Durbin conceded that it is a dilemma "in one respect," but made that case for how it is a trade off Democrats are willing to make.....snip~

A trade off the Demos are willing to make. Basically telling the Red State Demos.....c-ya. Naturally the Demos telling McConnell to hold off on appointing the Next Justice, will work Right? Even funnier was Schumer telling McConnell to appoint Garland. Then the Demos would be all for it, huh.
