The GOP commentariat, at least the Trump supporters, have adopted the party line - hook line and sinker, including Putin's propaganda. As for Texas and Florida, don't be so sure they are not in play for Biden. Even that other NCR cannot avoid how much trouble he is in which is why he is hoping to use the Barrett nomination to have Democratic Senator rally the pro-life fence sitters in the Midwest.
Which is worse, the madness of COVID fear or the madness of culture warrior bishops like Cordeleone who think the can outlast Pope Francis?
In Chicago, it sounds more like the the Mayor is the one reaching out to the Church. This comes right out of the Daley playbook.
I suspect that the Pennsylvania court ruling will be appealed. The Secretary of State sounds like a good egg. I am voting in person in Maryland because my signature is so bad. I also have no fear of a virus I already have, nor of line for early voting. Doing so is now largely seen as an act of defiance against Trump.
Schumer would be best to let the Barrett nomination go through. A textualist is, by nature, centrist. Defusing the issue now prevents backlash from bishops and Catholic voters, who are nothing if not tribal.
I wonder if swing state never-Trumpers are responsible for more voter registration - or voting in local partisan primaries. These things need to be looked at up close. All politics is local. On working class issues, there is no one better than Biden. The Bernie folks were registered from previous years, so forgiving college debt is still a big thing (unless they are protest voting as Greens). They won't ever vote GOP.
