I read in another post with the same idea but can’t seem to find it. The thought process was that Trumps nomination of Kavanaugh was a chess move.
I liken it to a baseball manager making a call to the bullpen to get the other teams manager to also make a move with a batter.
So, is Kavanaugh a decoy? Trumps knows what will happen with the Senate and will let it play out and then nominate who he really wants?
Just wondering what other Freepes think.
I trust his thinking. He is a powerful strategist. Sun Tzu and the Holy Bible are his bedtime reading.
Kennedy wasn’t RWR’s first choice. But I think DJT does want Kavanaugh on the bench and (my dream!) will nominate Amy Coney Barrett to replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Oh, Kavanaugh is laced with Bush DC GOPe Karl Rove history and he also Favored some Obamacare stuff. But we need to go by their opinions that they write and Kavanaugh has good constitutional opinions for the law. So that’s why I thought Trump didn’t care for him. Oh yea, plus McCain liked him and this is a sign not to choose anything McCain backs.
She wanted to be replaced by the FemNazi Clinton, or at least have her put one on the bench to replace her. Love it how that did not work out for both of them. You got to know when to hold em and when to fold them I guess. Betting on the come in her case did not work for her but great news to the USA.
For whatever that's worth ...
Agreed. They can’t stop whoever Trump nominates... so short of some damning evidence no one ever has seen on this guy he’s in.
Yes you will have the stupid hearings like Franken last time trying to make arguments that hold no water... but not only will the nominee win, he will get some D support as well at the end of the day.
Trump has no reason to play games, he owns the field
The NYT opinion piece was the signal for me. They are telling the Left that this is as good as it gets. The alternative for the Left is to lose additional senate seats in November which will enable Trump to choose and seat whoever he wants.
I think it was the guy he wanted. Kavanaugh was thoroughly vetted for the The District of Criminals appeals court, so it should go smoothly.
Care to elaborate?
>>>She must be having some anxious days lately. And many more ahead of her. LOL<<<
Hah! She needs a good exorcism.
Yea, I agree.
Shhhhh..... don’t you dare try and inject logic and truth to stop the insane hand-ringing that is going on ‘conservative’ blogs this morning....lol
If we do this just right we will be able to snatch defeat right out of the hands of VICTORY.....
...amazing.
If McCain's for it, I'm agin' it.
I think Trump picked who he wanted, and he has proven to have good judgement.
...”to deny someone like Trump the opportunity to appoint her successor”

Yet she did the same with BO’B, a Pres_dent who seemed to embrace many of her same values. He, having no love for our Constitution; she unable to find it worthy to apply elsewhere. Her steadfast motivation is still an enigma.
Well reasoned. Had I been offered a judgeship during Bush’s tenure I’d have gladly served. Why are people hung up on this?
I don’t think Kavanaugh was a decoy. I think PDJT picked who he wanted to get through.
