Which two women?
What are their positions?
“On his way to Bedminster, NJ, the president told reporters aboard Air Force One that he plans to interview one or two candidates this weekend.”
Going to his golf course there where he can be more certain that he’s not being bugged. Imagine, the President of the United States, unable to be secure in the White House!
This is the phase in which he says stuff that will cause Progressives to go wacko and say silly stuff.
Then when he makes his real pick, he and McConnell will move at warp speed, creating panick and revealing insanity in the Progressives.
Trump will tease Lee just like he pretended to interview the pos Romney for SOS.
Just sayin'
If Trump talks about you in the first few days, your days as a potential nominee are numbered lol.
Don’t need another women!! Enough!! Need protestant hitters!!
I’m perfectly OK with him appointing the great Constitutional attorney Ann Coulter
As for Ms. Palin, she needs to be elected President after Trump, so he can forego her. Just because she isn’t an attorney means nothing; they put Kagan and Sotomayor on that court, and neither of them were anything but political hacks.
Make sure they are not Ivanka picks. They will be liberals.
As long as this person is pro-life. If he a put an abortion supporter on the bench, that’s the only thing that would make me sit at home in the midterms.
No he’s not.
Has to suck up to Lee a bit by putting him on the short list.
Would have had a woman on his list anyway, but with Ivanka crusading, he probably likes the idea of placating her with a woman—while still naming an actual conservative.
I just hope both women genuinely are that, and could withstand all the other women on the bench with her being loony liberals without bending.
My guess would be the military woman and Amy Coney Barrett. My choice would be Brett Kavanaugh, but so it goes. Between the two women, it would ge the military one, from afar. I really, really hope it isn’t one of the Lees.
I’d take a Jeanne Kirkpatrick clone, with a side of Maggie Thatcher clone. Show me a contemporary great lady like those two and I’m along for that ride.
But there aren’t any of that caliber on my horizon just yet; but I’m not above convincing.
Trump keeps em befuddled
I don’t care as long as they are strict Constitutionalists.
No more women.
The GOP has not have very good luck with female SCOTUS justices. Just saying.
I would rather the evaluation criteria to be original construction and defense of the People’s rights.
Ann Coulter?
Since the mid-term elections are coming up, the Democrats will concentrate on terrorizing women into believing that their reproductive rights will be completely destroyed and they will be forced to get abortions in Calcutta-like back alleys if a Conservative justice is appointed.
So the best choice for a Trump nominee would be the best candidate available with the scantiest record on abortion.
After that it will be important to choose someone who can perform well, who can win hearts and minds among Americans during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.
The hearings will be theater. Ninety-nine percent of Americans probably could not name a single justice on the Supreme Court, but they know the type of people they like and respect.
If the Democrats attack and then block the appointment of a nominee Americans like, many of those Americans will be angry and go to the polls to elect Republicans in November so that Donald Trump’s next appointee won’t have to go through the same obstacle course as the person to be nominated in a few weeks.
