The O-bot knows she's an idiot, but he' playing politics for keeps. He nominates a Latina (win) who happens to be a radical (pleases base). Republicans attack and he caves with mumbles of "racists, bigots..." thus upsetting Latino activists (win). Conservatives will celebrate the win visibly earning Latino ire (win). Then he gets to nominate his truly diabolical commie Ginsburg clone and the RINOs will swoon at his/her "legal scholarship."
Ding. ding. ding.
You took the thoughts right outa my head.
Yep, she’s a pawn. (For added value, say pawn with a NY accent). A golden pawn.
