It won’t matter male or female/ black or white or Hispanic the left has to Bork the person. It’s all they have. Any senator in the gop that takes part in a borking won’t last long. The red state Dems are in trouble. They are voted out or ostracized if re-elected. Hopefully Mitch doesn’t screw this up.
IF by change he's elected even better.
But it's likely the first pick won't survive so go extreme and when they're dismissed bring in someone they can't refuse.
