Democrats will overplay their hand with Ginsburg death
The Franklin County Journal ^ | 19 September 2020 | Dwight D. Weidman

Posted on 09/19/2020 12:23:05 PM PDT by Ikemeister

The best is yet to come. Remember the memorial service for Democrat Senator Paul Wellstone after he was killed in a plane crash in 2002? Democrats did what they always do, and turned the memorial into a partisan hatefest, which backfired spectacularly.

I can’t believe they’re making such a big deal over her death.
It’s not like she overdosed while committing a felony, or anything noble like that.

The service is private. End of Carriage and horses and 24 gun salute.

The service doesn’t matter, but their over-the-top reaction will.

Yes...just like it did in 2002. The numbers in the article speak for themselves. This time, it will matter more, since we’re closer to the election.

When your rival is making an ass of himself, don’t be trying to persuade him to stop.

Faint praise can go a long way to spur the rival to even more extravagant claims and actions.

No way they are going to draw to an inside straight on this deal.

The private service will take place but burial will be delayed for weeks. The Ginsburg family will be heavily leaned upon to allow this, just so Democrats can scream,

“She’s not even buried yet and Trump is naming her successor!!!”

For postmortem extravaganzas, forget Wellstone and look up the funeral of Abraham Lincoln, described as,

“...a three-week series of events mourned his death and memorialized his life.Funeral services and lyings in state were held in Washington, D.C., and then in additional cities as a funeral train transported his remains for burial in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois.”

Will the obsequies for RBG be any less?

Aren’t funerals taboo until the eeee-vil Covid vaccine shows up?

It will be a lot of shouting, foot stamping and feigned outrage. And some rioting and burning.

Effectiveness = zero.

I’ll be watching in case they drop her casket down the stairs.

This this is the challenge for Republicans. The left will definitely overplay its hand. How do we best take vantage of that.

With the DeeperDemos already frothing at the mouth over solid, constitutional actions following the passing of an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, the further they exploit their fascism and cause destruction of private and public property as well as assault and potential homicide, the more solidly the Trump Base will turn out and vote.

Don’t Jews have to be buried within 24 hours or a similarly short period of time?

Should have named the nominee as soon as he heard.
