Maybe. Or maybe a head feint. Regardless, I’ll trust Trump to pick someone good.
Trump is the grand master of leaving rabbit trails for the media to follow.
Trump may have wanted to plant seeds of multiple possible hints so as to keep the buzz on this through the weekend. E.g., there is also a report that he supposedly tipped his hand to some contacts that it will be Kavanaugh. I wouldn’t be shocked to see some reason to believe it might Kethredge (sp?) floated elsewhere by tomorrow.
