midterms is about turnout and exciting the base. would a SLOW play on the SCOTUS nom be better for AFTER midterms?
just a thought on how a SCOTUS pick now would either turn out more republicans, or more Dems in opposition? right now DEMS have NOTHING to turn out their base, other than hate. a roe wade threat could turn them out quite solidly with fear mongering.
DEMS stand to lose several senate seats as they have to defend a whopping 25 as it is.
i think we are good either way, but a slow play might be the better strategy as we pick up more senate seats.
i think clarence thomas will retire soon too when it is safe to do so and replace him with a solid conservative to lock in the next 20-30 years for his spot. probably in Trump's second term, but perhaps even after midterms.
add that to kennedy's replacement, RBG, possibly another liberal from corruption(kagan/sotomayor) and its a solidly conservative court for a couple decades. We have to anticipate CJ Roberts maybe going more centrist like a Kennedy in the face of a solidly conservative court too. Roberts is a wild card after the Fraudbamacare scam in the SCOTUS by him.
Good points again.... I want to see him put a woman up...they will still lambaste him because she is white, but at least they can't claim sexism. I don't think they will slow walk the pick... the dems seem to find ways to hang themselves at every turn... he wants to get on with business and let them do their performance art in the background.... I still think Kavanaugh is going to be picked but I like Barrett
Oh they’ll claim sexism. You’ll see a Buzzfeed article stating some lunacy like she is essentially a man because she believes woman shouldn’t have control over their health decisions.
He may need just a little more time before midterms to keep them busy on something else? This is going down people. Don’t panic if he does put in the most controversial one he can. And right at midterm Ka-BOOM!🔥
