Three questions:
1. Is the replacement a sitting congressman? and if so

2. is he conservative? if so, then the President needs to pick someone else. and if not,

3. do we have a chance to keep the seat by electing a conservative?

Governors usually replace Senate vacancies, but I think House vacancies wait until the next election. Ratcliffe’s district has voted 60-75% Republican in the last several Presidential elections. Very doubtful the seat would be filled by a non-Republican.

Is the replacement a sitting congressman? and if so

Trump should offer the job to a democrat in a mostly republican district.

Then, when/if confirmed, wait a couple of months and say it wasn't working out, and say, "You're Fired!".

Somebody, sorry I don’t remember who, posted on another thread today that he lives in Ratliff’s district and that he is a staunch Conservative and that the district is strong Republican.
