    Or...if the situation gets really dire...would Dems trade a Supreme Court Justice Ted Cruz for a Senator Beto??https://twitter.com/mattklewis/status/1043498077418610688 …

    Not sure we are there...yet. But this seems like the best "break-in-case-of-emergency" plan b. Probably not enough time to confirm someone not already in the U.S. Senate. https://twitter.com/keithurbahn/status/1043497088024289282 …

        GOP senators would vote to confirm Cruz for SCOTUS just to get him out of the Senate.

        Am not especially liberal or Dem but that would be an *awful* trade. Lifetime contract vs. 6-year renewable lease is not even close.

        It could set up the first ever Supreme Court decision to vote another Justice off the island. Why not? Everything else has become a reality show.

        You don't think that they could find a last minute replacement that would do just as well as Cruz?

        After that tweet from @tedcruz about the police shooting, he’s lost all support from me for any higher office, maybe from the senate too.

        Why trade? Maybe Beto just wins anyway. Seems like a long shot from here in Texas but Ted’s not exactly getting more likable as time goes on

        There are so many qualified, deserving, impeccably credentialed conservative persons. Why does GOP insist on pushing Kavanaugh who will be tainted for the entirety of his tenure? I don’t see the logic.

        That would be a bargain, if the alternative were Sen Cruz and Kustice Kavanaugh
