Q: Since tRump Has Already Filed As A Candidate For POTUS In 2020

[stopbush]

doesn't that mean we're now into the election season? And doesn't that mean - according to Turtle McConnell - that the Senate cannot confirm any new SCOTUS justices until the people have spoken in the 2020 election?

Just asking...

[putitinD]

1. sounds right to me!

2. Brilliant!

The Democrats should use the McConnell rule that during an election cycle, no SupremenCourt Justice should be appointed until we find out what the will of the people is after the next election!

7. Say, now that you mention it.... (but: Really? He's filed?)

He talks about running in the next election, but has he actually filed?

While this does not constitute a formal announcement of my candidacy for the 2020 election, because I have reached the legal threshold for filing FEC Form 2, please accept this letter as my Form 2 for the 2020 election in order to ensure compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act.
