Republicans are trying to distinguish the Garland nomination by Obama without a Senate consideration. The argument that things are different here because Trump and the Senate are from the same party, whereas Obama and the Senate were from different parties. A difference without distinction in my mind.
I wish McConnell and the Republicans would just tell the truth: That they will fill RBG's vacancy because they are simply in control right now and have the power to do so.
Personally, I feel Garland should have at least received a Senate hearing and vote (even though we know what the result would be). Similarly, I hate to admit it, but Trump should get the pick right now while in office, not after we decide who wins the Election.
