If someone tells Trump that Lagoa will win Florida for him,

he'll pick her. And someone is bound to tell him that, whether it is true or not.

Winning Florida trumps the abortion issue this year.

I'm betting he picks Lagoa. That will piss off the Christian Right, which wants the country to become a bad novel. But, someone is going to tell Trump that he will win Florida if he picks Lagoa. That will help him decide.

I looked her up, and her father-in-law was appointed by President Clinton to a federal district court judgeship, and her husband was Crist's counsel in the first 2 years when Crist (who is now a D) was governor of Florida.

Maybe, just maybe she wouldn't be an off-the-charts RWNJ...then again, whom am I kidding?

I hope the Ds are doing massive oppo research on these potential appointees.
