The sad thing is the Justice has nothing to do with Trump if it's a legit candidate but Romney has basically crossed sides. I'm sure he won't vote with his head, he just hates Trump too much.What percentage of chance would you give to seeing a replacement nominated and voted through before november 3rd?
It literally could hinge on Romney’s vote, and he’s may be just enough never trump to throw a wrench in the whole thing.
I give it a 70% chance.
Cruz said earlier that they have the votes to do this. I wanna see it.The sad thing is the Justice has nothing to do with Trump if it's a legit candidate but Romney has basically crossed sides. I'm sure he won't vote with his head, he just hates Trump too much.
For the SCOTUS opening I think Trump should nominate Lagoa, personally. Use the Dems identity politics against them.Cruz said earlier that they have the votes to do this. I wanna see it.
Absolutely do not agree. I think it actually helps his chances if not confirmed by election day.1. If this pick isn’t confirmed with the next 25 days, Trump will lose this election.
I think Mitch absolutely gets this to a vote by 11/3, now whether we end up with a squish R that flips at the last minute I have no idea.Absolutely do not agree. I think it actually helps his chances if not confirmed by election day.
1. They will have drug the nominee through the dirt so bad by that point that independents will lean over to Trump's side
2. Voters that may have stayed at home will get out to vote knowing that there is even more invested in this election with the seat open
You should have just spelled out Romney's name.now whether we end up with a squish R that flips at the last minute I have no idea.
Yeah, fuck every bit of that. No more handshake deals. These people absolutely can't be trusted.We've already got rino conservatives like David French saying we should make a handshake deal with dems that they agree not to expand scotus. Problem is every handshake deal we make with them they renig on, see Reagan amnesty for border wall & Bush Sr tax hike for spending cuts.
At some point you have to realize they are Lucy holding the football
I mean ffs they were threatening to do that before RBG diedYeah, fuck every bit of that. No more handshake deals. These people absolutely can't be trusted.
I had a similar thought, but Romney's actual statement echoed Republican talking points and against the Democrats'. He could have just said he'll vote, but instead he basically said that going by precedent the Republicans are right on this and the Democrats are wrong. Sounds to me like he intends on doing the right thing.Eh, Romney said he'd support a vote, not that he'd vote for the candidate. Wouldn't be surprised if he voted no just to virtue signal to his new party.
Or he looked at some recent poll numbers....I had a similar thought, but Romney's actual statement echoed Republican talking points and against the Democrats'.
