The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro made some interesting points today about how the Democrats’ radical response to the SCOTUS vacancy by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg could torpedo Joe Biden’s candidacy.
He explains that Biden’s whole appeal is based on him supposedly being a ‘return to norms’ from what he, Biden, claims it the chaotic President Donald Trump.
Democrats' radically nuclear response to the SCOTUS vacancy is a real threat to Joe Biden's candidacy. Up until now, Biden has been able to run as the "take a breath" candidate. Things have been crazy; here's an empathetic elderly gentleman who will restore normalcy.

But then Democrats made all kinds of threats over the SCOTUS vacancy that would upend all norms, threatening that if Trump and the GOP went ahead with the confirmation, if the Democrats won the presidency and the Senate, they would seek to pack the court, kill the filibuster and admit D.C and Puerto Rico as states to the Union to increase their count of senators. Not to mention they threatened to impeach the president or Attorney General Bill Barr for the president doing his Constitutional duty. They also had radical leftists marching on the homes of senators including Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC).
All of that goes by the wayside when Dems threaten to kill the filibuster, ram through new states, pack the court, and impeach people just to delay Supreme Court hearings. Now the election becomes a referendum on the new, far more threatening batch of crazy Dems are proposing.

And it IS crazy. If Democrats were to kill the filibuster, add states, and pack the court, the fundamental nature of the federal government would be completely rewritten. Essentially, a bare majority of Democrats would be able to, unchecked, rewrite the Constitution.

This has brought to the fore again, what a danger Democrats are and how people saw that on vivid display during the Kavanaugh hearing.
States would correctly resist. Imagine a 53-vote Democratic majority (adding four Dem Senators from DC and Puerto Rico, e.g.) ramming through a gun confiscation package. Imagine a 13-member packed SCOTUS greenlighting that measure. You think TX, MS, GA, FL stand for that?

Checks and balances were designed to require overwhelming consent to major political changes. Democrats have long objected to those checks and balances, but have refrained from utterly abolishing them. That's because the consequences of abolishing them is national dissolution.

He's also afraid of endorsing going nuclear, because he's afraid the election will then become a referendum on his endorsement of radicalism.

Exactly. But it’s going to be a referendum on the Democrats’ radicalism anyway because Democrats have made it so, between the BLM riots and these newest threats. They haven’t yet learned that Americans don’t like such threats and they don’t like radicals. They’re going to say it with their votes and that isn’t going to go well for Biden.
