We were discussing this, and *I* sat it is not possible. WHy? Because CONGRESS GOES ON RECESS at the start of October for the election.
There are enough hoops that have to be jumped through before that that there is no way the vote can be placed before the senate floor in general in that time.
And enough democrats still in key positions from when THEY controlled the senate that they can be sure.
Therefore, If I was McConnel I'd kind of smile and say "Well, your sure we're gonna win, right? why bother, it can happen after the election."
The only grounds that McConnell might do a 180 on is if they LOSE and are trying to ram through a lame duck's nomination, but the Dem's on the floor could fillibuster and kill it that way, as I don't think the rep's have enough votes to kill a fillibuster.
