TF - Do you honestly think RBG is going to make it to 2020? I hope Trump nominates a female candidate when its time. That way, it takes this play off the field.
G, it's only 2 years. Technically 14 months until the start of 2020, and 25 months until Trump is re-elected. Now don't get me wrong, I'm just fine if she keels over any day between now & then. But I think she can hold out for 25 months to give Trump the double pleasure of winning the election, watching her heart fail over his re-election, and then the winning of replacing her with Ted Cruz.
BTW, I did more research on her nomination. I was thinking of the wrong justice earlier (Sandra Day OConnor). RBG was nominated by Clinton. She replaced Justice White. Look that guy up, he was incredible. He played in the NFL for 3 years and was the #1 rusher for 2 of those years. He was in WW2. He was runner-up for the Heisman in '37. What an impressive guy. AND, he WROTE the dissenting opinion in Roe vs Wade. He was a pro-life guy... and he was replaced by RBG???? Trump can reference Justice White when he nominates Cruz to replace her.
