I still question the politics of it but there is a certain percentage of conservative religious women who do not like the President because of his mean tweets and personality. Barrett might get them to hold their nose and forget about the tweets because he is delivering what they want. It could benefit Trump across multiple states while Lagoa is a very narrow play for Florida and possibly Arizona. Although Cubans and Mexicans have nothing in common culturally and Lagoa probably is only a Florida play. Locking up Florida is huge though. A sizeable minority of Trump voters are former democrats who only care about immigration and trade and are pro choice though so Barrett risks alienating them.
But it may not be Trump's choice anymore. Barrett is who McConnell wants and McConnell gets what he wants most of the time.
A pro-life originalist who has recently been confirmed by the senate. What’s not to like?
There is a depth of vile viciousness awaiting this woman the likes of which few have ever witnessed.
Prayers up in advance.
Whoever Trump nominates, I hope he has vetted her thoroughly and that he firmly believes she will not betray him or the people who voted him into office. I don’t want to hear about the Federalist Society or its recommendations anymore.
“Trump has not finalized his decision, and with days to go until he announces his pick on Saturday, his thinking could change.”

In other words this story is just another piece of factless speculation from CNN.
Barrett is who McConnell wants and McConnell gets what he wants most of the time.
Trump is often unpredictable, but I think you are right on this one.
The leftists in the Senate will be thoroughly unhinged on this selection and they will go there..... “Catholicism”
There is nothing but upside politically with her appointment and she is already the most “vetted” name on the list.
However, given the time crunch with this one prior to the election I do not understand the delay if it is ACB?
“A source familiar with Trump’s private conversations told CNN that one of his confidants on this issue told him”
If its a head fake fine, if not stop the f’n leaks.
There is talk that Amy is pro-lockdown because of a decision she made. But she made the right decision based on the arguments being made. This shows she respects the law rather than her feelings which makes me even more of a supporter.
My concern is this; is she indeed a “true” conservative, or another in a long line of failures who profess conservatism but deliver something else? Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh?
So we have a presumed live person who has obtained his or her info 2nd or 3rd hand from a traitorous "confidant" leaking a "private conversation" to CNN. Okey dokey...wake me when Saturday and the real news rolls around. (BTW, I say presumed live person because so many anonymous sources actually don't exist.)
And of course CNN and their Trump mind reading machine are going to report entirely unbiased news that BENEFITS the GOP, and they would never, ever engage in fearmongering...
The biggest reason for Amy Barret is John Roberts. Plus the 2020 elections.
I do not think the Ds attempt to smear Barrett with anti-Catholic rhetoric will bring “catholics” to Trump. Most real Catholics are fully in his camp and the woke catholics are already never trumpers.
The left needs the nominee to be Barrett because they have already compiled a number of attacks on her. They are raring to go. I have already seen one attack on Facebook that featured a huge lie about a group the Barrett’s belong to.
CNN? Unnamed sources? Sure. I’ll believe it.
If there is another Kavanaugh style hearing, it would not help Trump, even though we know it's the Democrats causing all the trouble.
TRUMP is paying 3D Chess keeping Dems off guard.
Could be, we'll all find out Saturday.
My gut tells me it won’t be ACB. But it could be the burrito I just ate talking.
She’s who I want too
And not just cause she’s southern and pretty
She’s solid....she’s already been sliced and diced.
And her background is conducive to social conservatism
Let’s see.... four CNN scumbags wrote this article, saying “A source familiar with Trump’s private conversations told CNN that one of his confidants on this issue told him that...”
Yeah, it’s believable.
