Bad deal, if I ever saw one. Sounds like something a desperate lefty, or an establishment hack would dream up.
“In order to avoid any more angst or consternation around Supreme Court nominations, Trump could short circuit the entire discussion by getting Ruth Bader Ginsburg to retire now rather than trying to stick it out for four more years. And what would she get in return? A promise that the President would nominate the same guy Barack Obama tried to put on the court.”
Preposterous. Garland might—or might not—be marginally better than Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg, but even if she agreed to the arrangement, it would not “avoid any more angst or consternation around Supreme Court nominations.”
The Dims will fight every nominee who they don’t think is hard left with brass knuckles, while the Repulsicans will fight back with a plastic spatula.
When someone dies, that is God’s plan, not ours...so God will take the Judge when He is ready...
Since when did we start listening to what these media, talking heads and radio show hosts say, I thought we were suppose to listen to what God says...
Worst idea ever.
What? We don’t want a filthy liberal. There would be nothing ‘fun’ about it.
His base knew there would be at least two more vacancies during Trump's term, and they expect those vacancies to be filled with conservatives.
Trump's base does not expect horse-trading with Supreme Court vacancies. That would be a betrayal on the order of Benedict Arnold.

The people who thought this up need to find something else to do. Maybe a high end lawn care service for the trendier areas around DC.
This is the stupidest idea imaginable.
Ginsberg will probably live a year or so at most and Trump can choose his own replacement.
A ‘liberal’ Justice would be a huge improvement over her.
I’d like to see three each of conservative, moderate, and liberal Justices. But that means ALL of the 4 nutcases would have to leave.
really means, Republicans actually fighting for a conservative and not rolling over.
Chris Ruddy sounds like a Liberal Democrat when he opposes the nuclear option and advocates for Merrick Garland being made a Justice. Is President Trump sure Ruddy voted for him?
Buzzi Ginsberg is nothing if not a survivor. Pancreatic/colon cancer survivor. Heart disease/surgery. Chemo. Time to step down Ruthie. Enjoy family.
The only reason HotAir is even running this tripe is because they are part of the globalist, open borders, #NeverTrump Salem Witch Media empire.
Absolutely NOT !
The GOP neither invented nor used the nuclear option first. Law of Unintended Consequences.
not a chance (but it shows how desperate the communistic leftists are getting to dream up ideas like this)
they thought they had taken America over
they did but all the SorozNazi and IslamoNazi $$$$ couldn’t buy a third national election
IIRC, she was not on President Trump's list, which disappointed me.
Remain calm. I prefaced my remark that it was crazy to begin with.
Original Bates Motel!
The term fake news has become somewhat overused. I now prefer crap news.
