RBG expected Hillary, the historic first woman president, to nominate her replacement. All the polls said it was in the bag. Surprise!
I’m sure Donald Trump will find her perfect replacement.
Even if Hills had won, I doubt that RBG would have stepped down. This article paints a credible portrait of RBG as an egomaniac who loves the attention she gets. If she retires, she’s yesterday’s news. (Anyone care what Sandra Day O’Connor says or does these days? Nope). There’s only one way RBG leaves the gig... at room temperature. And that’d be true regardless of who’s president.

I’ve noticed over the years that the worst leaders (or employees) consider themselves irreplaceable. In reality, they have defined who they are based on what they do; or, rather, what their title is. They know in their hearts that if they retire, their reason for being will vanish and they will die. They have no outside interests. They don’t fish or sew or collect something.
Even if Hillary had become president, RBG would have attempted to remain on the bench until she dropped dead. I read somewhere that her cancer had reoccurred and she would retire in the spring. Frankly, if that was the case, why not retire now? Well, because when she retires she will have no further reason to live.

And I for one, is darn glad there was that SURPRISE and hillary didn’t get elected. The LORD was surely kind to America.
