    It’s really impossible for Trump and me to ever be on the same page. The one time I think it would be productive for him to throw caution to the wind and “own the libs,” he goes and nominates an establishment Bushie. Just. To. Spite. Me.

        That's what you get for wading into the "own the libs" muck. #BeBest

        My theory was always that Trump would make the right pick because he would see it as a way to own the libs. (That wasn’t my rationale for Barrett, but I thought it might be his.)

        Fair point and I agree that would be a factor for him. I would prefer that people like you not dignify the concept. Republicans like you are the only thing keeping me from total despair.

        What a stupid way to describe two of the most important women in GOP politics.

        I believe this pick is more Trump centric. He likes his opinion on indictments and protecting the office of the President

        Owning the cons and owning the libs... the man won't stop until he owns it all.

        Matt, this pick is all about Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and John McCain. Trump MUST have those votes. Barrett would have thrilled the base but put undue pressure on those three. Think Mitch told Trump that.

        Barrett will be next up if the GOP can manage to hold on to the Senate. Trump will get another pick down the road.

        I need a guide on the composition of the Republican Party. I was once told there were 5 pillars to the Republican Party. The Libertarian, The Evangelical, The Budget Hawk, The Neo-Con and the last one escapes me. Has this changed over the years? Which are you? Can be more than 1.
