America's Maginot Line

It consists of NeverTrumpers like David French and Jonah Goldberg. who think it would be awesome if Republicans postponed voting on a replacement for the late RBG in return for a Democrat promise not to pack the court in the future.

Did you get that? We give up something real and tangible, right now, in return for a promise by the Party of Lies not to do something bad down the road.

This is absolutely the stupidest attempt at strategy I have heard from Conservative, Inc., yet.

Ask G.H.W. Bush about relying on Dem promises. Remember when he caved on his "no new taxes" pledge and made a budget deal, which the Dems not only reneged on but then used against him in the campaign?

Heh heh, yeah, what a dope, trusting the Dems, huh? can see why Goldberg and French are so ready to try it agan.

They're like Charlie Brown and the football. Or maybe they know the idea is idiotic, but they figure some of the rubes in the GOP will go for it, and since it would hurt Trump, it's all to the good.

It's more the NRO crew getting us to give up something when they know we ain't getting no quid for our pro quo.

Ronald Reagan learned the hard way in 1986, on multiple fronts, that the Democrats NEVER, EVER make good on their promises with a GOP president.

He may have always been so but Jonah Goldberg is just a pretend conservative whoring for income. This is the guy that wrote "Liberal Fascism"? What a sad and pathetic and opportunistic POS.

Paco beat me to Lucy's football. The Dems have been making it clear that if Joe Biden wins, they're going to do absolutely everything they can to ensure that no Republican ever wins another election. Ever. And that includes packing the Supreme Court, as well as adding states and doing away with the Electoral College.
