Might want to just confirm Garland.

I guess they will wait and see where those polls are going. So hoping that the Rotten Pumpkin Head's campaign implosion takes them ALL down, but you never know.

the presidency is secure. We will never get anyone as good in the current political climate, but we do need to see the long game.
