So basically SCOTUS nominations will be cake now?

These were senators who took office in 2012, with high Democratic turnout for Obama. They included Democrats in Indiana, Missouri (and only because the opponent was Todd Akin), and North Dakota. Meanwhile the Republicans who were up for re-election were mostly in deep red states like Texas.

Scalia was in terrible shape though. RBG, according to her documentary, is in excellent health.

Yeah but that's not the same as being OK with the GOP no longer having a slim minority in the Senate. That's a really big problem.

Dems were defending more seats. Dems had to defend; Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota, and Montana, all for the most part are kinda reliably red. They lost 3 of those 4 seats and are currently behind in Montana. They also failed to defend Florida.

if cancer tries to come for RBG there's a higher probability she cures it than dies of it

anyway this was always seen as likely, although a gain of 1 was expected more than 3. mccaskill and donnelly underperformed.

It doesn't even have to be cancer. At her age it could be anything. She's literally in the hospital right now, she could easily get pneumonia or some other infection. That shit is really common and even happened to my grandmother

Gerrymandering is how it happened. Republicans stack the deck in their favor and call any move back toward balance unfair.

Should be noted that every red state senator who voted against Kavenaugh was shown the door by voters.
