This is a play to get these women on board the Trump Train. Ignore the tweets and focus on the policy. Barrett turns off the pro-choice former democrats that voted for Trump in 2016 though. They only care about the economy, immigration, and trade. He has a coalition. The campaign determined Barrett adds more conservative religious women than subtracts moderate ancestral democrats. I hope they are right.
Barrett has too many questions and gets Trump & the GOP nothing. I can't see Collins voting for her unless she knows she's going to lose in Nov. but voting for Lagao might be possible.
ACB believes in her faith over the law for a judge. She sides with gov't & corporations like an establishment type. It makes sense (see below).
For those calling ACB a Catholic, they are not correct. She's not a mainstream Catholic. She's a charismatic having been a active member of a group whose foundations are found in the communitarianism movement of the 1960s. They are organized into "households" (not families under the same roof, something different), submit to the group's hierarchical authority and pool financial resources. They are a "convenient community" outside The Church. Members may belong to different parishes.
We need someone committed to individual liberty and textualism.
A one week delay in making the nomination. One week to poll white women. Sad to say - that is the world we live in.
And those senior Republicans leaking this could have been fed misinformation as a distraction. With the media taking the bait, they are now about to run all the negative propaganda they can against this lady.
When a different person is actually announced, they’ll have all this useless trash prepared and have to start making stuff up on the actual woman selected.
Amy is very pretty, and I would assume, quite intelligent....and she exudes authenticity and integrity.....I can’t wait to see the Democrat pond scum try to go after her.....pearls before swine indeed!
I don’t recall Gorsuch or Kavanaugh being the “frontrunner” until they were announced. If Trump has an off-the-radar favorite, the smart thing to do is to keep them hidden (but vetted) while the media and the liberals aim all their vitriol at someone who’s not getting selected.
Doing so makes the media appear like unhinged freaks (which they are) and it also keeps the Left from doing opposition research on the judge if she wasn’t considered a likely choice.
Good. Though her confirmation should be a shit-show.
