Is it possible that Trump's nomination will be defeated?..any chance at all? Just asking.

[Stuart G]

Even if vote is after the election?

[catbyte]

1. Don't think so. This is the republican party we're talking about. No honor. Anywhere. From anybody.

[BannonsLiver]

2. Next to none

[Rule of Claw]

3. If it is Barrett yes.

Smart play is Lagoa if Trump is thinking straight.

don't tell him.

Barrett is not likely to keep her name in past committee due to her "advisors" in her "religious group."

If she even accepts it.

[seabiscuit5920]

4. Bloomberg help

Bloomberg has help the cause with paying off ex-felons debt!

[Statistical]

5. No. Not anymore than the prior two. If this one could be defeated the prior two would.

In theory if 4 Republicans broke ranks that would be the end of it but 100% of them will vote to confirm.

[Demsrule86]

6. No won't happen.

[Cosmo Blues]

7. Only

If she has a meltdown worse than Kavanaugh, and I don't see how that's possible, but it could happen (or if she's totally honest;

[Submariner]

8. If millions of women protest in the streets to save Roe v Wade

then maybe, since a majority support choice.

Only she can decide if she wants her and her family shunned in the streets for the rest of her life for overturning RvW to own the Liberals.

[11 Bravo]

9. Slim.

The Republican party is now a cult, and they will fall into line.
Shit, if for some reason Susan Collins became the deciding vote (again), she would be "deeply concerned", but would follow ordeers.

[customerserviceguy]

16. She knows that she's toast

with the hardcore base of the Rethuglican party if she sinks the nominee before Election Day. They'll put up with a Democratic Senator for six years just to get rid of the dithering game that Collins likes to play.

[dflprincess]

10. A slim chance before the election

No chance in the lame duck session.

[AleksS]

11. My hope (slim as it is) is that we make

Stealing RBG’s seat so dang toxic that no one wants it and folks turn down the nomination.

Make sure folks know that if they accept the seat, it comes with a lifetime of hate. Make sure they know there will be no peace for someone who stole that seat for the rest of their life. Period. Every (good) restaurant will refuse to seat them. (Chick FilA is fine though). Every museum will shun them. Every performance they’ll be called out and shunned. Every step they take will be met with shouts and signs reminding them that they are without honor, principle, or friends.

Make them ask themselves: is it really worth it?

[customerserviceguy]

17. None of which

will affect their lifetime appointment, and will guarantee that the affected Justice will always be an enemy.

[AleksS]

22. So?

If it gives a chance to stop them from taking the seat in the first place, I’d say that affects their lifetime appointment by not taking it in the first place.

If they believe taking the seat isn’t going to be worth it, and they decide to not take it, that’s a win.

And geez, it’s not like they’ll ever be an ally. Scalia was an enemy right up until his disgusting heart burst into a black lump of pus. Hoping that this justice won’t be evil each and every time no matter how they’re treated is a pipe dream. Since we can’t rely on the Senate to stop the appointment, then any chance, no matter how slim, is worth taking. And if appointees can be convinced that taking the stolen seat will turn their life into a living hell, maybe they won’t take it in the first place. (And if they do take it, well, as you point out, there’s a whole long lifetime to switch and start kissing their butt in the hopes that they’ll play nice. )

[customerserviceguy]

23. And with that

civil war breaks out in the United States. Hopefully, it will not be a shooting war, and more like the bloodless breakup of Czechoslovakia.

At the end of Trump's presidency, whenever that is, if he still has a breath in his body, he'll be pushing heavily for it, and the table will be set when Americans divide into two camps that cannot tolerate the other under any circumstances.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. I think Moscow Mitch will have a hand in this:

If there are hearings and testimony it could happen. I can imagine Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar pressing her very hard and very personally on her cultist leanings.

On the other hand, if he just goes straight to a vote, which I think is very possible, then no. She will pass on a party line vote.

[former9thward]

24. All of that was brought up at her last confirmation hearing.

And three Democrats voted to confirm her.

[Aviation Pro]

13. Nope

The sycophants and lickspittles will fall in line.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. Nope.

I've totally conceded that fact, and rest my hopes on President Biden being elected, inaugurated and then expanding the Supreme Court.

[Buckeyeblue]

15. It just depends

If the confirmation vote can be pushed out past the election, maybe. I only say maybe if Biden win and the Democrats retake the Senate. At that point a president-elect can signal to Republicans what his plans are if they move forward with confirmation in a lame duck session.

It's politics. You just never know.

[jorgevlorgan]

18. Doubtful

[COLGATE4]

19. Slim to none nt

[beachbumbob]

20. ZERO chance. This is the final outcome of 2016 election. 6-3 court, conservatives

[Seasider]

21. We'd have to get 4 GOP Senators to vote no.

If history is any guide, the “moderate” Republicans always let us down in the end

[ChoppinBroccoli]

26. Well, We Already Have 2, Don't We?

If the vote can be postponed until at least November 30, I heard we could get Kelly in there to be another No. Then we'd just need one more Republican to flip.

I agree it's a longshot, but finding ONE principled Republican.......should........be........ahhhhhh, nevermind.

[NotASurfer]

25. Odds are not favorable - but never underestimate stupidity

Entirely possible that the McTurtle partisans will do something brilliant like, dunno, come to the Senate directly from a superspreader event or two, make a few for-the-camera speeches about how wonderful Dear Leader is and how awful anybody who disagrees is - all without masking up and in a room where other party members present are also maskless because (apparently) among R's the right to endanger everyone around you with a potentially debilitating and/or lethal disease *supersedes* the right to exist...and by the end of the first week, they succeed in putting half a dozen or so R party members in the ICU on ventilators, completely reversing which party has a majority of the Senate (conscious at least) for the up/down vote.

I can't predict exactly what might happen, but never underestimate stupidity

[StarfishSaver]

27. Not likely

The time to stop this was in 2016 and 2014.

But a bunch of whiny Democrats were made at Obama in 2014 and we're too principled to lower themselves to vote for "the lesser of two evils" in 2016, so here we are.
