Will Trump look for a more politically safe candidate avoiding as much controversy as possible before the midterms. Or does he give the base what they want hoping to energize them to come out and vote. Trump should be Trump he has turned the political world upside down, winning by presenting reality TV to his audience instead of the standard political showmanship. The Dems wont care who is chosen they will get ugly no matter what. Judge Amy has a likability about her and the attempt to destroy her will not play well.

This is just so much CLAPTRAP, with various people pushing their own choice/s into the news.

Trump is NOT likely, at all, to take Hatch into his confidence!

Agreed. I want Barrett, but this just straws in the wind. That trump would use Hatch for a trial balloon I just find implausible

I’d be thrilled with Barrett as the pick, but the she/her thing is just Hatch virtue-signaling his lack of sexism.

I do NOT want Barrett; she's far tooooo easy to smear and I don't see her fighting back, as Justice Thomas did.

No way, NO WAY AT ALL, did Trump whisper to Hatch, nor anyone else, for that matter, who would leak.

Deliberately false trail I bet.

IMO it has been the plan all along to get the fake news media to bite on a Barrett nomniation and make themselves look terrible in pre-emptively savaging her, only to have the real nominee be someone else.

Hatch has been playing ball with Trump in a big way so coordination is a realistic possibility.

“Hatch has been playing ball with Trump in a big way so coordination is a realistic possibility.”

He needs to have Romney in for a cup of Postum and tell him he needs to support the President.

Amy Barrett is my choice. She graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from Rhodes College, where she was a Phi Beta Kappa member. She received her law degree at Notre Dame Law School with a Juris Doctor. She was executive editor of the Notre Dame Law Review. Beauty is matched with great intellect. I think it is going to be her. She has a remote resemblance to Melania. President Trump knows good women.

Of all the candidates the left is most afraid of Amy Barrett. Putting the word out that she is the top candidate could be a negotiating strategy on President Trump’s part. If the left puts up strong resistance to one of the other people they will know who will be next in line.

It oculd be Hatch pushing Barrett, or it could be that he believes Barrett will be the choice, or it’s possible he’e “heard it through the grapevine.”

You want me to write she and her in the article. Alright, Mr. President, I'll get right on it.

Any pick Trump chooses will be a wise one and a conservatuve.

Never liked Hatch. Stinking Swamp creature and Romney buddy.

Barrett would be a big mistake. What decisions on major issues has she written from the bench? Adopts children from Haiti, why not American children? Was it done to say to the MSM “hey look at me”? Where will she stand with affirmative action or illegal immigration......we all know where the lib Catholic Church stands. Stick with Kavanaugh.

Rather than create a rumor from scratch, this author created a rumor based on a rumor.

Getting paid for creating a rumor rumor is quite a feat

One wonders...... when is a rumor rumor fake news
