I read your comments when you first posted them and was surprised by your take. I'm surprised by Magox's comments too. We all know that your take is the wrong way to go no matter how pleasing it would be. It would be like running up the score on the Cheatriots when we already have a 6 touchdown lead. On second thought, maybe you guys are right.

Everyone knows she can barely keep her head up at this point. Does anyone really think she can make it another six years? The left will puke themselves like a South Park character and it will be glorious to watch these condescending, hypocritical nutbags go full Libtard like nothing we've ever seen. Don't worry. DiChi is ready for Barrett. 1

Just after the conventions in 2020, to test that. I would say it's going to depend, very heavily, on the political climate and the behavior of the left until that time. If they keep behaving like this, or worse, punish them; because you can't reward them for what they're doing. If, though I'm not at all hopeful, they can begin to act like a sane opposition party, and can engage without threats of violence or worse, then proceed without advancing a nomination.

She'd probably wait until the election to see who wins, and if the D's get the presidency and Senate, she'll retire.

I have to admit, I can't stand her as a justice, but you have to respect her spunk and strength. At 85, she lost her husband a few years ago and I have to admit, were I in her shoes, I probably wouldn't want to retire either, knowing it's all downhill after that since what is left to live for?

I'm sure the D's were pressuring her to retire under Barry. Now that she's become (more and/or overtly) partisan, she just might do it if the Presidency and Senate flip in 2020.

Well if we're admitting stuff, she's an individual who aspired to greatness and saw it through. The odds of a poor girl from a Jewish family, born along the Appalachian trail, raised in poverty with scoliosis that was left untreated, her father a raging alcoholic and her mother a barker in a traveling show becoming a Supreme Court justice were astronomical. 5
snafu Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 This thread has been seriously fantastic from begging to end. It has touched on so many topics and has been entertaining and enlightening. Easily one of the best PPP threads going. 3
