Jeez, every time I see a comment under RBG I assume she's died.

I have the Bernie figure, should've asked for the RBG one for Christmas.

Also yeah, I thought she died too...

If the Republicans fill her seat on the Supreme Court, you can bet Biden's campaign will be flush with cash. I think an attempt to fill the seat will seal Trump's fate in the election.

The Kavanaugh saga benefited republicans in 2018. I can see both sides regarding how this will go. I lean your way, though: this is RBG's seat and there is no way any left-of-center person would want Donald Trump to fill it!

To early to tell if Trumps nominee will have an effect on the election it all depends on who it is.

And it could have a positive effective. This could change the race totally. Changing the race dymanics from what it is now certainly benefits Trump.
