Yes, some nominees were rejected in previous presidencies. I do not dispute that. When I say "universally blocked," I mean Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell literally said they would not accept any Obama nominee, period. Nixon, Reagan, W, LBJ, etc. all had at least one of their nominees voted down or withdrawn, but eventually got another nominee confirmed. The GOP Senate would never have voted on any Obama nominee--that's what made it unprecedented.
If the Dems take back the Senate, I'd support them holding a seat open for the 2020 presidential winner to "get back" at the GOP. But after that, this nominee nonsense needs to stop.
