All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Tero]

Trump could hold off nominating, thus guaranteeing the Evangelicals will vote for him, then to name judge after election. He can even give us the name of the nominee. Carrot and stick.

But will the president buy it? It’s important to recognize that Trump fancies himself the ultimate driver of hard bargains. He could be persuaded that delivering in good faith is the surest way to motivate and mobilize his voters. Then again, informed by the experience of 2016—and polling to suggest slippage among some of those voters—he could become convinced that keeping them hungry is the only guarantee of earning their support. After all, what kind of negotiator throws away a bargaining chip? What kind of salesman gives away something that’s priceless?

Naturally, it’s not as though Trump can come out and say as much. But there are ways for the famously disorganized administration to intentionally drag its feet, to slow the process enough so that it’s close enough for voters to smell a new Supreme Court justice but not close enough for the Senate to confirm one. This could even be done with the blessing of McConnell.

He can tell that even without knowing who'd going to be nominated?

It just has to be a judge that hates government. Because the Founding Fathers hated government. And kings. They were all libertarians as far as the fed gov't went.

--worst case: the election is contested, and a Republican court gives it to Trump, just like they did for Bush?

I believe that should be the breaking point for anyone under 50 on the left...

There is a certain type of christian that gains pleasure (possibly sexual in origin) from the thought of sinners burning in hell for eternity...

What's to stop someone doing anything to him and claiming it's god's punishment? I mean besides people being mostly decent... --lucky prick
