Lamar Alexander Openly Hopes A Supreme Court Fight Will Distract From COVID, Shitstain's Performance

[hatrack]

EDIT

The president appears intent on picking Judge Barrett, though, according to Republicans familiar with his conversations. And his advisers and party lawmakers are placing wagers on a Barrett pick that are based on hope as much as strategy, as Mr. Trump trails in battleground states and the Senate G.O.P. majority appears increasingly precarious.

They believe a partisan fight over the court offers them at least a chance to steer the debate away from political danger zones like the president’s handling of a virus that has claimed over 200,000 American lives, and his unceasing rhetorical eruptions, most recently his indication that he would be unwilling to agree to a peaceful transition of power.

“Either the election can be about Trump or about Covid or about the Supreme Court,” said Senator Lamar Alexander, the long-serving Tennessee Republican who is retiring next year. “And I think, of those three, if it’s about the Supreme Court, that traditionally has helped Republicans more.”

2. What a jackass. Fortunately the debate this Tuesday between Biden and trump will make

sure the focus is on his mishandling and cruelty of the pandemic, taking away people's health insurance, destroying the environment, women's health and well being, workers rights, Civil Rights, etc. etc. etc.

He won't be able to run away from the mess he has made

7. Oh yeah

I'm sure those who are sick or dying will be distracted by a Supreme Court nomination. People who haven't worked in six months and can't pay their rent can take a break from their misery and watch the Senate hearings.

Yep, I'm sure this nomination will really help republicans in November. Life must be really wonderful in that bubble the senator lives in.
