OP you underestimated how much Dem's hate president Trump. BEFORE Trump even announced his SC nomination Dem's came out as opposed. Hell the Dem protestors arrived early with protest signs that left the name blank so they could write it in after the nominee was announced.
Dem's were banking on the 60 vote Senate rule for confirming SC nominees, when Trump and the GOP nuclear optioned their ass that was a severe gut punch.
Actually I don't think Trump had much to with it, their attitude would have been the same on any republican nominee. The commiecrats have had a reliably regressive super legislature in the court for decades. Losing that is the why for all the emotion and dirty tricks.
