The problem is that there are fewer people paying attention to what's really happening then there needs to be.

The election and fate of the country boil down to this.Quote:

Thinking about some of the contenders.
Barrett: sounds solidly conservative. Will be attacked for her religion and number of kids, which is good
Lagoa: I'm not convinced she's conservative enough. Obvious play for FL Cuban votes
Rushing: sounds solidly conservative, only 38 years old. Worked for ADF, a truly great org. My preference.
From biden
He admitted the first selection was based on race and gender: a black woman. But beyond that, he would not provide additional details.
“Should voters know?” the reporter asked. “Should voters know who you’re going to appoint?”
“No, they don’t, but they will if I’m elected. They’ll have plenty of time,” Biden answered.

In other words, he doesn't have a plan. It's all BS. He's flying by the seat of his pants.
His campaign strategy is so far removed from what an average candidate should be doing right now that it's actually kind of comical. Why keep your platform a well guarded secret from the American voter? I don't get it...:crazycobasa:
Well--it's obvious to everyone that you haven't taught Constitutional law for 20 years, like biden.Quote:

Biden:
Not once voting has started. I've taught constitutional law for over 20 years. The constitution suggests that the public gets one chance to decide what the court looks like; that's when they elect the president and they elect a senate.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; background-color: rgb(205, 205, 205);">https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...ature=emb_logo

Well---I guess if you and Rock had taught Constitutional law for 20 years like biden, You'd know the answer.:ne_nau:Quote:

Comments on the contenders:
Rushing being only 38 might help with the larger, more important demo of single women. Might be harder to bully a younger woman. Think of the hearings where an older woman is easier to paint as a fixture of the past. Generic speaking clip: https://youtu.be/x83oVVINglk
Barrett, a mom of 7, is easy to paint as a Karen-type, baby-maker, disconnected from single women, subservient to others. A large part of the leftist movement is to throw off responsibility and societal duty, and she epitomizes the opposite of that. Age 48. Generic interview: https://youtu.be/EJTRzB2pzmE
Lagoa, as well as helping with FL Cubans, might help with Hispanics in other states, age 52. Much smaller judicial record would be harder to attack, and harder to attack an hispanic. But also makes her a riskier bet, a la a David Souter situation. The one ruling pointed out to show her conservative bona fides is good, but it's only one. Nom to FL SC: https://youtu.be/PZCrIhm0dB8
Eid, I haven't heard mentioned much. She's 55, long judicial record would be easy to attack. Wouldn't help with any demo particularly. Can't find a good clip.
Clips of interviews are important. How they come across is make or break. Not to the Senate vote, but impact on the election.
Given these clips, Barrett comes across the quickest and sharpest! Lagoa and Rushing are solid but unremarkable. I started the post leaning Rushing but now lean Barrett.
Biden can't release his policies or SCOTUS picks because whatever he does will anger half his supporters.... one pick alienates the radicals, the other pick alienates the centrists. The guy is best off keeping his mouth shut and not leaving the basement, which is exactly what he is doing. His handlers are doing a great job of keeping the gaff machine flying under the radar.
:popcorn:
In this Shapiro video is a lib woman's meltdown about RBG's death. Funny.

Boy...she's really going to shit her pants 5 weeks from now. And these people actually call Trump supporters "cultists"?Quote:

Read a comment in an article that struck me. Anti-Catholic attacks on Barrett give Biden the opportunity for a sister Soulja moment. Would he be smart enough to take it?
This woman is wicked smart and quick and speaks incredibly well.Quote:

LOS ANGELES, CA—NBA players are honoring the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg this week by wearing pretty lace collars just like Notorious RBG used to wear. In a touching show of respect for the late Justice Ginsburg, and in solidarity with her progressive cause, Lebron James and the LA Lakers took to the court yesterday wearing a stunning variety of delicate white collars inspired by RBG's wardrobe.

So Murkowski now indicates she might vote for. Very interesting. She must be getting hammered back home.

The 2nd Am in particular I believe the left would rule, in time, prohibits private ownership of weapons. Only those in a militia, which they'd define as the National Guard.
All indications are Barrett? I saw a headline somewhere that Lagoa was never interviewed?
Yep...she all that everyone is talking about. Looks like she's going to be it.Quote:

And the melt from the left.
