This is unlikely but if Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, on some level I'd LOVE to see what I lay out below...and bet it'd work.
Let the Dems do their pre-hearing thing...ya know, she's a racist, Nazi, she'll send us back to coat hanger abortions blah blah blah.
While the hearings are ongoing, Trump Tweets these images...


...with an ominous message like "Which Franken-like Dem Senator on the Judiciary Committee is about to have THEIR slime come out? #MakeMyDay."
Everyone loses their mind, Dems go into damage control mode and tone down the questioning and we get a great replacement for Kennedy.
Al Franken, the hero of democRATs.
