Is this what we’re thinking? Where did he finish in the 2016 primaries? I honestly don’t recall, but I thought a lot of folks seemed to back away from supporting him.

She was appointed by Clinton back in the 90s.

It's not like she was on the court 150 years.

Good grief Clarence Thomas has been on the court longer than her.

And Clarence will remain on there long after the baby killer has been buried.

Seems Cruz has absorbed Trump’s qualities that make him effective. Instead of taking it all personal, he sat back and asked himself “why’d it work?”. You take those “DGAF, no bullshite, get shite done” qualities and put them into a man with Cruz’s knowledge & smarts, and more tactful ability to hammer opponents.....you get one hell of successor to Trump. Almost like an improved version.

People mean since Ted lost in the 2016 primaries, he has been on a roll.

Ted Cruz is the anti Romney.

2nd I believe? Most of my friends who weren’t Trump were for Cruz. Even then, it seemed everybody else was a distant third. Cruz was welll behind Trump but way ahead of the rest. IIRC

Yeah, it’s just too opportunistic for me. I hope RBG didn’t actually say that as it would tarnish her legacy a bit for me. Sounds like a leftist niece making shite up and RBG can’t correct the record.

Someone dying of what she died from doesn’t usually have last words the moment before passing.

But it happens in the movies so it has to be true.

I don’t believe she said it either.

I believe the story is bull shite, a classic projection by someone (the journalist or the niece) onto her. “This is what she would have thought and wanted...”

my dad died of cancer. i watched him die. if her experience was 1/100 of what he experienced, there is no way she was eulogizing final wishes

she was likely on morphine and without consciousness

These Democrats can’t leave politics out of anything! This dying wish may not be true, and even if it is, it’s irrelevant.

Good for Ted Cruz

I’d be pissed if my mom’s dying wish was about about politics.

it was probably testimony from the niece, ie, "Notorious, is your dying wish that your replacement not be chosen until after the election?"

* death rattle *

"OMG SHE TOTALLY SAID THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT HER REPLACEMENT CHOSEN UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION!"
