Trump is playing with house money. The important thing is the pick fires up the base and sways moderates, as the Democrats look silly opposing the pick.
If anything, the games of Romney and Murkowski show how crucial it is to increase our Senate majority.
So we really had no way of knowing how hed react in a situation like this.
Murkowski is a whole different story.
I predict Amy Coney Barrett will be nominated. Let the Democrats oppose a female nominee, and let their BLM orcs explain why a woman with a couple of adopted black kids among her seven children isnt fit to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
