(16,387 posts)I figured hed nominate the Latino judge to try and help in FL. This is going to sound counter intuitive given everything weve witnessed in the last 4 years, but until I hear it from him Im skeptical.
exactly what Trump would have done, if this were up to him.
It's not up to him, however. The judges, particularly his Supreme Court nominations are handed to him by Mitch and the Heritage Foundation.

(5,255 posts)The worst possible choice for the Court. I knew we could count on him. Of course, this could be a trial balloon story, so I'll say, OH NOES!!!!!!111 DEMS IN DISARRAY!! HOW DO WE COMBAT THIS JUDGE BARRETT???11

(3,282 posts)an ad you want to put out where explicitly, but I think it's a message you want in the community. I think it would backfire to be that blunt about it. Need to get the Cuban population talking about it in a more organic way.

I thought he'd nominate the ethnic Cuban female judge from Florida to close the deal for those electoral college votes.
miscalculation if they do go with ACB, because they probably could have won some votes with it had they gone the other way.
Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, I don't think Trump gets much decision in these nominations. These are handpicked by Heritage and signed off on by Mitch. Go against that and maybe all the sudden your nominee gets stalled.
