That’s why he wants Barrett seated before the election. If drumpf wasn’t a fucking idiot he would actually realize it would be BETTER for him politically to handle this respectfully and wait. But instead he listens to McConnell and company that encourage him to nominate Barrett.

Piss Wig’s usefulness has been served in giving them cover to plant all the appellate judges they want and the cake topper, RGB’s seat. I can’t imagine they see him as anything more than what he is, a person who has no business in the job. But they have to hedge their bets. They can’t openly oppose him for several reasons, none greater than the fact that if he does “win” again, they don’t want to be purged with the rest of us.
