Does krispy appoint a conservative?

[Major Matt Mason]

He'll appoint a Democrat, just to stick it in the eye of the GOP.

Forget conservative does he even appoint a republican

[TBP]

I’d like to see him appoint Steve Lonegan, but that’s not likely to happen.

Menendez was up for re-election in 2016 anyhow. The Dems may have also viewed him as risky bet due to scandal, and want him out of the running.

Brian Goldberg was preparing to make a run at that seat, and came to CPAC this year, as an attendee. He is another possible option.
