hey before we went to break megan i
meant to get to you what's your thoughts
on what's happening with mcconnell
yeah i mean this is a really fascinating
moment in political history i want to
first start out by saying that none of
this would even exist
if harry reid hadn't gotten rid of the
judicial filibuster that's the whole
reason
why it's possible to possibly put a
supreme court nominee through in such a
short period of time
um one of my biggest concerns is if we
have a contested election
in 2020 and it's split even like there
was in 2000 we have to have
a full court ruling on it so i think the
potential for
constitutional chaos is is absolutely
the most imminent it has been
in my modern lifetime mitch mcconnell on
this
there i hear what you guys are saying
about hypocrisy and i i hear it and
receive it
but he is someone that has he only cares
about
this this is his like core issue he does
not want to run for president he doesn't
want to seek higher office
and if everyone thinks he hasn't been
preparing for this exact scenario
i think they're just a little naive no
no disrespect anyone who thought that
i honestly think because i've been
talking about this all weekend that
kavanaugh really changed the game for a
lot of republicans myself included
i was completely radicalized by the
experience of watching him testify i
mean there were accusations of him being
someone who had been part of a gang rape
gang and accusations that were
completely baseless and it showed that
democrats on their side will do anything
and everything to smear any conservative
amy coney barrett is a hardcore catholic
among other things she has seven
children
i completely expect her to be if she is
the nominee to be slandered and maimed
in a way we've never seen before
and i don't think that's what anyone
wants my last final point that i wanted
to say is
this turns the election back into
battleground core meat and potatoes
issues and if you're pro-life like i am
and 47
of the country is it becomes a reason
for you to support president trump
if you're someone that was wavering if
you if you didn't necessarily think
there was going to be a seat up
and i think i think it's interesting to
see what's going to happen
going forward with the election just in
the sense that we're not going to be
talking about coronavirus in the same
way that we were before we're not going
to be talking about the
atlantic piece we're only going to be
talking about these meat and potato
issues that really really galvanize
both bases and as you pointed out joy
the fundraising that happened
on the democratic side is absolutely
staggering i believe it's over 100
million at this point race since she
died since um
ruth barrigansburg died
