If the red-state Dems obey Schumer and vote NO on the nominee, that will seal their fate in November with the voters.

AND, should the nominee be defeated, Trump can simply re-nominate him/her in January with a 55-60 GOP Senate majority and coast to victory.

Either way, Trump (and America) wins. Gotta love it!

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if the Democrats see it that way. Surely they realize by refusing to confirm Trump’s pick they will guarantee all of Trump’s future next nominees. If they think about it they may all vite to confirm.

This is one case where the Democrats had best surrender the battle so they can live to fight another day. Personally, I hope they go all in.
