Brett Kavanaugh’s Bush/Rove affiliation could never be forgotten by Trump. Put forth the rinos favorite pet goat for sacrifice, let Dems tear him to pieces publically(keeping dems busy with a bright shiny object-cat chasing a laser pointer). Dems will drag and brag this Borking through midterms. Trump will get midterm votes he needs and then he will put forth his real choice, maybe Amy Barrett. Trump plays the long game, always. It’s the Art of the Deal. Trump is the real deal mental Kung-Fu. IMO.
Why would you assume that?
John Bolton's affiliation with Bush/Rove didn't bother Trump. Mike Flynn's affiliation with Barack Obama didn't, either.
