Would it be more beneficial for GOP to take the gamble and make the Supreme Court justice nomination a campaign issue

In red states like AZ, IN, ND, MT, WV, MO, and TN it would really help drive out the base.

In purple states like PA, FL, NV, WI, OH, MI a President Trump push that he "needs" GOP senators or else.....it might really help make the final difference

I think its a safe bet that after the election the GOP will be in a better Senate majority than they are now. Using the SC justice issue as an election issue could really help turn the tide.

It is a very risky gamble though considering we are fresh of the 2016 election which "no one saw coming"
