Trump in 2020:
.@GOP We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay!

Why does blatant hypocrisy matter?
Because it makes people that you’d like to trust deeply unpredictable. If you say, but I know I’ll always know what he truly will do, factions happen. You’re in the good faction one day, then this hypocrite does something you can’t possibly stomach, and now guess what – you were wrong, and now he’s going to take care of you.
In bad cases, he may rub you out.
Hypocrisy is all about trust. Trump and McConnell’s breathtaking hypocrisy should see them deported to Russia.
