McConnell refuses to say he will apply Garland standard and block Trump's nominees as term ends



“If Donald Trump were to name somebody in the final year of his first term in 2020, are you saying that you wold go ahead with that?” the Fox News host wondered.

“I understand your question,” McConnell replied without answering the question.

“So if you can’t answer my direct question — are you saying…” Wallace tried to ask again before getting cut off.

“The answer to your question is, we’ll see whether there’s a vacancy in 2020,” the Majority Leader quipped.

These assholes are all bought by Russian cash and they have sold out this country for their dearest wish--to watch liberals cry as our vision of America disappears and the slaveowners return.

We have lost. We are an occupied country.

When will everybody realize it so we can fight the real enemy instead of each other? I don't have much hope.
