That McCain will betray him. That way, McConell can claim he did everything he could.
I said yesterday that I’m sure Trump would be perfectly comfortable nominating an unemployed blue-collar worker with no legal credentials to fill that seat in a recess appointment. If you’re going to turn the U.S. Supreme Court into a joke, then at least put people there who can use the money and who deserve it a hell of a lot more than the @ssholes who have run our institutions into the ground.
