Listened to him on the way home. He says “good sources” tell him she will be the pick because she’s a hispanic and will help Trump with Florida etc.
I don’t like the guy btw but just figured I’d post. He will say one smart thing and then say something completely idiotic. LINK

This is the politically smart one. It puts the Dems in a corner. These are their two options:
Stick to their guns and vote against: they deny a Latino Woman from Florida a SCOTUS seat. This loses them Florida, and hurts their standing with women and latinos
They vote to confirm to avoid the above: Their base throw a hissy fit and don't vote this election.
I don't know anything about her as a judge, but I do know how brilliant politically it will be for Trump.

I wonder if he is boxed in by these leaks.
Can he afford to piss of the Cuban vote by failing to appoint her now that her name is out there?

After the Big Ten football debacle, I have zero trust in leaks any more.

Listened to him as well. She was supposedly in DC last week meeting with various conservative groups.

I don’t have a good feeling about her. Don’t know why but I think that she may not be a good choice.

PLUS
she was confirmed 80-15 ten months ago.
She's already been vetted. The DEMS would have to explain what has changed in 10 months.

Maybe she is the most qualified candidate in Trump’s eyes?

Y’all need to realize these “leaks” are being done by people pushing their candidate to get them momentum.

Never Trumper wish pick. Fox radio news no more than an hour ago reported WH Sources said it was Barrett or Rushing. Evangelicals are leaning on Trump for this pick.

You are replacing one of the most liberal members of the Court ever.
Even if she's Anthony Kennedy, she's a vast improvement.
Trump will be able to replace Breyer in his next term. He can get a "guarantee" in therE

I wouldn't believe Eric Ericson if he said the sun is yellow.

she’s a hispanic and will help Trump with Florida

Trump says he may meet with her on Friday when he is in Miami:

quote:
President Trump said Monday that he may meet with Barbara Lagoa, who he is considering nominating to the Supreme Court, when he is in Miami, Fla, on Friday.
“I may. She is highly thought of,” Trump told reporters when asked if he planned to meet with Lagoa, a Cuban-American and Florida native who is from Miami. “I’m getting a lot of phone calls from a lot of people. she has a lot of support. I don’t know her but I hear she is outstanding.”
“She’s one of the people we are looking at,” the president continued.
Lagoa and Amy Coney Barrett, both of whom were nominated by Trump to serve in their current positions on the federal appellate bench, are said to be top contenders to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday.
Trump repeated Monday afternoon that he is considering a list of five women to potentially nominate to replace Ginsburg. Trump said he has spoken with the candidates over the last few days and said he would meet “a few” in person. The president plans to announce his decision on Friday or Saturday, following Ginsburg’s funeral services.
Trump is scheduled to appear at a campaign rally in Jacksonville, Fla., on Thursday evening and is expected to be in Miami the following day. Trump has previously interviewed Barrett, who he described as “very respected” on Monday, when searching for candidates to fill the vacancy that was ultimately filled by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

What do we know about either of them? I'm not anti-Barret, but I am seeing that she ruled in favor of shut downs recently. That's concerning.

This is the slam dunk pick.
Florida
Minority
Woman
Confirmed to Federal court by huge margin last year
You're stuck if you're the Dems on this one. Oppose and you look like anti-woman, anti-Hispanic asses after you just confirmed her overwhelmingly. Vote to confirm and your base is demoralized because you rolled over for Trump. Notorious ACB will be nominated if Breyer or Thomas decide to retire after things simmer down.

I dunno. Cuban is different from Latino. And I don't think Biden is getting much of the Cuban vote anyway.
Interesting, nonetheless.

Yeah agreed, this pick makes by far the most sense in virtually every way.
