I would only add that, if the Rs get to 51, McConnell becomes Majority Leader and controls the floor. He will also have considerable influence with committee chairmen. If McConnell simply does not bring a judicial nominee to the floor, or works with the chairman so there is no hearing before getting to the floor even becomes a question, the nominee doesn't get the job, cf. Merrick Garland.
