How dare Lowry. If anyone other than our great POTUS would have tried to put Kavanaugh on the court, they would have withdrawn him from the nomination after RAT attacks because they have no balls.
Reagan had no balls. He was forced to nominate liberals because that was all he could get through the Senate.
Trump from the very start faced down the Democrats and won. And that matters a great deal.
Reagan was far more flawed than Trump.
IIRC Bush let Thomas swing in the wind.
