Just advocating for the art of the possible. I don't know anything about the others on the list, but I guarantee the fangs will be out, manufacturing hairs on coke cans, you name it, and Flakey would love to torpedo Trump in his last year. Hard to do that with a fellow Mormon. Then the next time will be for all the marbles, after RBG assumes room temperature, but by then hopefully we'll have more Senate seats and won't have to worry as much about Flakey and his ilk.
So Trump should make a pick with the intent to pander to the Mormons?
If Flake would be the one vote deciding factor on a Trump SC nominee failing to be confirmed, he'd better have some good security hired, because there are a lot of people in the country that wouldn't be too happy about it.
