Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) joins Hallie Jackson as President Trump prepares to name a nominee for the Supreme Court. Kaine says "there's a shot" some Republican senators will vote against the nominee, preventing a new justice from being installed just before an election. Aired on 9/21/2020.

Sen. Kaine: GOP Trying To 'Bum Rush' SCOTUS Nominee | Hallie Jackson | MSNBC
If you didn’t have enough motivation to vote before, You do now!!!
Our lives depend on it now more than ever before.
@Pam Deshane mental illness is not an insult.
Dementia Joe Fingers
At least he’s not raping them like Trump and his friends Maxwell and Epstein. Trump sends “good wishes” to bad people, why is that?
@simon kenton You called me CRAZY. I am offended by the CCC!
@Pam Deshane you`re offended by the Civilian Conservation Corps? pammy, what century are you in?

The Senators should be held to their words.
@Kevin K. MSNBC lies to you on a daily basis. It’s emotionally driven propaganda.
@camjamsdad WTF !!!!! DUDE !!!! REPUBLICANS ARE LYING TO YOUR FACE EVERY SINGLE DAY. Please don’t tell my you are just another MAGA HAT GROUPIE !
@camjamsdad BIDEN’S RULE 1992 THERE IS A RULE AND BTW AN IMPEACHED PRESIDENT SHOULD NOT PICK ! 46 WILL PICK
@Montauk Long Island Name 3 lies that have been proven… to any none-Russ-Thugu-KKKant hate-monger sources verifying these lies.
Save yourself the effort. You swallowed the Red Load and you like that flavor of man-juice Kool-aid. Especially if it is Faux Newts generated.
Come 11/03/2020 closing of the East Coast polls… you will be in tears. And you will never see another Wrong wing candidate seated as POTUS. Ever again.
🛑😾🤳🍊🐷
At the debates all Biden needs to do is fact-check Trump. Trump will run off the stage as if the Vietnam Draft Board showed up.
Right on terry
@Peter C for Trump and morons like you
Biden should ask Donald, as to how many abortions that he has paid his out of wedlock “lovers”.
@Pam Deshane You shouldn’t always relate to your own intelligence…..
Trump ignores facts, he will continue to spew lies over and over, you can’t debate a liar.
All the people of this country need to let republican senators know that we expect them to keep their word.
William H 👈🏼 Fake Page Bot. Ignore. ⚠️🚨
Jefferson Lincoln That Bot is everywhere.
Vote them all out. They don’t represent us.
@Jefferson Lincoln I assume then, you have disavowed your parents and your very humanity besides.

*Every man will be judged alone, though here I only find you as a child – a glimmer of what you could have been.
*Putin only targets the US as we were examples of real men and women, those he couldn’t hope to compare to in honest (upright) debate.
We do need people who are not for sale, more-so we must remember the US as; ‘the land of the free, home of the brave’… far from where I find you_ someone others could look up-to.
Every country has scoundrel anon’s (Russia leads in their export today)_, too few seem to recall what it means to be leaders, adults or individuals in the world.. or why the US once did deserve the worlds respect (you obviously are not ready to show it).
Farewell, pray we don’t fail our people, as Putin is failing his. An Iron Curtain, is beneath the US’s glory, I hope you grow out of yours as well.
Dk
This won’t bode well for them in elections, but that’s good.
STILL dont understsnd y tf trumps STILL in office after the impeachment #biden2020
@Sherlock McCassidy go back to fox news and waste your life Trumper
@Sherlock McCassidy People as obtuse as yourself shouldn’t have access to a letter opener, let alone a gun.
@Kevin Lee your a a- hole if your for the dictator.
Mitch MCconnell and the Republican senators are the reason Satan-Trump is still there.
@Norman Frederick Probably another foriegn Soros paid troll.
Lindsey is honest about being a huge liar
Miss Lindsey is CREEPSEXUAL.

Like the democrats who have already said they will be going to court after the red mirage? Should tell the enemy your plan,it’s like batman and robin stupidity and it’s come back to bite you.
@William H : If anyone knows creepysexual it’s you billie boy. I’m fact, it’s the only sexual you know.
@Baddaddy wtf are you talking about, do you even know what a red mirage is?
We haven’t even had time to mourn RBG.
You know her personally?
@Peter C Why? Is it a prerequisite for mourning?
Other people’s suffering always seem very objective to those who clearly have never had to.
Forget about arguments of decency. Trump is determined to fill the judge position. And he does this with glee.
DEMS NEED TO FIGHT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WE ARE THE MAJORITY, HIS SMALL BASE IS THE MINORITY!!!!! ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE AMERICA BACK!!!
@Jen Grant WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
@Peter C One thing is preserve the ACA so people aren’t suddenly without health insurance during a pandemic. Two is raise taxes on big corporations so they pay their fair share (trickle down doesn’t work) so ours don’t have to go up. Three, he will work on police reform to make our system better for all. Four he will define a national strategy for dealing with Covid using the power of the federal government to get it under control. Lastly he will restore decency to the White House and do his best to bring the country back together again.
Exactly! Greetings from Germany
@Jen Grant Seriously? You must be joking…..
And what I don’t understand is why they aren’t talking about the DEMOCRATIC HOUSE blocking any and all legislation until the Republicans stop the vote for a Supreme Court justice. I mean, seriously, this is a no-brainer. They have bargaining power in the democratic controlled house. Hold all legislation hostage! Just do it!
What more evidence do Democrats need to show them that the republicans are no longer a party interested in democracy? The USA is sliding into autocracy … Democrats need to fight with the republicans like their country depends on the outcome – because it really does!
The left has been crying and showing how deranged they are for the past four years. Cry me a river.
It’s almost like they are Republicans.
*Absolute Power has corrupted Trump & this GOP, ABSOLUTELY! 🤢🤮*
Farmer Bob Absolute Power has nothing to do with a POTUS. Trump was corrupt long before he ran for POTUS and won the election with Russian interference. He is unfit to hold this office. He belongs in a Mental Hospital with some poor nurse wiping the dribble from his chin.
#bidenharris2020🇺🇸
Montauk Long Island And what’s the status of your party? Trump is incapable of forming a sentence without a teleprompter and at that he talks like a robot. He can’t read. You’re only as good as the people you support.
Democrats been changing the rules left and right! Tell the truth Caine!
I feel they were corrupted way before 2016. Corruption is a learned trait and it takes years to perfect! They’ve been doing this for a long, long time!
@Paula Anne Russian interference = Some FB adds 👌🏻
These dems that are counting on Republican Senators to keep their word are smokin something.
They’re not waiting on that to happen. Where have you been.
@Ice 247 watching all the democratic senators and others all morning. They are all saying the same thing. Not one of them has said anything else about how the dems can fight this now – other than trying to persuade their Republican Colleagues – good luck on that! I hope you are right but not holding my breath.
It’s incredibly naive to think or expect Republicons will hold to their own rules that they make up to suit their own purposes. How many times does a fool get fooled again?
How about we all quit taking how bad Trump is, and start showing action on all his BS !!!!
Watch “Biden’s Record on Social Security” on YouTube

NoBiden2020!!!https://youtu.be/w_UsJv6wRMQ
Well what do you think Donald the Dump’s pay roll tax cut is doing taking away from Social Security!!!! He has a right to push this through…But as a Republican woman myself there is more on the line…He wants a Woman to appoint that will get rid of Health care in a middle of a Pandemic for 7 million American’s…get rid of minority votes…Woman’s Reproductive rights..then as a Man he has rolled the dice…Let Democrats add to the Supreme Court then….
Brian Gudio we don’t care just like you don’t care how trump doesn’t like shaking his supporters hands cuz you are disgusting
“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” – Mitch McConnell, 2016
“The American people are perfectly capable of having their say on this issue, so let’s give them a voice. Let’s let the American people decide. The Senate will appropriately revisit the matter when it considers the qualifications of the nominee the next president nominates, whoever that might be.” – Mitch McConnell, 2016
“The American people may well elect a president who decides to nominate Judge Garland for Senate consideration. The next president may also nominate someone very different. Either way, our view is this: Give the people a voice.” – Mitch McConnell, 2016
“We think the important principle in the middle of this presidential election, which is raging, is that American people need to weigh in and decide who’s going to make this decision.” – Mitch McConnell, 2016
“[W]hile finding the right person to take the seat [Scalia] occupied will clearly be a monumental task, it’s one we think the American people are more than equipped to tackle. Some disagree and would rather the Senate simply push through yet another lifetime appointment from a president who’s on his way out the door…I believe that it is today the American people who are best-positioned to help make this important decision.” – Mitch McConnell, 2016
“I want you to use my words against me. If there’s a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.” – Lindsey Graham, 2016
“Given that we are in the midst of the presidential election process, we believe that the American people should seize the opportunity to weigh in on whom they trust to nominate the next person for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. It is today the American people, rather than a lame-duck president whose priorities and policies they just rejected in the most-recent national election, who should be afforded the opportunity to replace Justice Scalia.” – Chuck Grassley, 2016
Don’t reward lies. They are not deserving of your vote.
Take off the gloves Tim. They are not playing nice.
They better, toughen, up…… The future is at stake, & many, many, lives…
That’s right.. with that damned Lindsay Graham and damned McConnell get back it’s game set match baby and they’re not stopping. You guys cant play nice and diplomatic now . Too much is at stake. Every option should be in the table now .
Tim is a weak man.
What about a 2nd Stimulus? Anyone still Care about Struggling Americans?
I commented on that very thing today..funny how McConnell jumped like his butt was on fire to get this nomination through even though they are being totally hypocritical but has he even tried to get a stimulus together? Sick…
You know Republicans do not. Vote Blue💙🇺🇸
Republicans don’t care. They have no problem using our tax payer money to bailout corporations and lowering taxes on the rich. But when it comes to helping struggling Americans all of the sudden they want be fiscally responsible.
American cares about not the skinny stimulus package but the heroes act minus the pork.
Nope. All you can do for them is keep producing taxable income. They dont care if you’re struggling. The Republicans have succeeded in dragging out the stimulus until it’s too late. They didn’t want to have the first stimulus.
*Let’s end this nightmare on Nov 3rd. Vote out the Moronavirus Trump.. AND Mitch McConnell.. AND Flimsy Graham.*
👍👍👍
Love it
While the Refuctikans run roughshod all over America, the Dems wring their hands and clutch their pearls. Stop whining and do something!
Okay… you have our attention.
What steps do you propose we take immediate action upon?
Beyond finding 2 more Wrong party members that will stop this travesty to our SC… What do you purpose?
I’d suggest that the House commence impeachment of both Trump and Barr.
@JRG2733 Impeachment is a waste bc the Senate won’t remove anyone Trump or Barr from office. Trump has already been impeached, but the Senate must remove him from office, and with the present Refuctican majority, they won’t.
@JRG2733 But, we can tie them up in court and save some of this nation’s F-ing democracy.
@Barack Steady Impeachment will delay the Senate’s confirmation until Biden takes office.
