Is anyone still naive enough to believe that the Democrats will do or say anything for a purpose other than to stall until they can put one of their own in the office of the President?
They have a dilemma now as polls indicate that abortion is not acceptable to the majority and that means that sure votes based on the single issue mentality have been lost.
The smart move is to let the Repubs seat a judge, let Roe vs Wade be overturned and blame it on the Republicans "who don't believe in women's rights". That'll bring the lost votes back to the fold and they can campaign as women's rights advocates...letting the abortion issue fall by the wayside.
