-Immediately make SCOTUS nomination to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg to vote on in second term.
-Campaign on the issue. This will drive votes.
-Re-elect, get the conservative SCOTUS we deserve.
SCOTUS as election issue worked for Rs in '16. It motivated voters in some swing states & it should be *more* motivating now.
Hey FL, MI, WI: Do you want a PROGRESSIVE justice? It's a compelling argument from @realDonaldTrump.
Risky? Maybe. What do his internals say about race?
Is it closer than the national and state polls suggest? Then run on this issue HARD. It's already completely changed the election. It'll motivate the Left (and big money) hard. But it can also motivate the ones who were on the fence on the Right.
That said, since I want a conservative SCOTUS, if there's *actual* R support to do this soon? Do it.
But assuming you lose Murkowski, Romney, and Collins (seems likely), you can't lose any more -- and then you'd get Pence casting deciding vote. Can *that* impact race? Maybe.

Things we should know after this upcoming presser:
1) Is the would-be assassin a lone wolf or working with a group? Did he identify with a group?
2) Was he known to law enforcement?
3) Did he post anything only to indicate he would pull something like this? Where did he post?
20-year-old male? I’d bet he spoke about his hate — online — out in the open.
It seems hard to believe they don't already know who the suspect is or what the motive was, but that could be due to the condition the body is in after being taken out, I suppose.
It can possibly mean they have other suspects that they don't want to tip-off.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal is an absolute monster who loathes Israel & Jews.
She repeatedly & falsely accuses Israel of "indiscriminately" targeting civilians & hospitals.
Dana Bash asked about Israeli women being raped & Jayapal pivots to attacking Israel. Bash calls her out.
Keep in mind, Jayapal won't admit that Hamas broke the ceasefire, claims Israel should commit to an indefinite ceasefire despite being attacked, falsely claims Israel is targeting civilians, and immediately pivots to attacking Israel when Hamas rape charges are brought up.
On a side note: she claims she's condemned Hamas raping women before. I've not been able to find a single instance. I've reached out to her office -- if she's done that, I'll include it in a piece I'm writing.
Pro-Israel rally underway in Bellevue, put on by @SWU_NW.
Unlike the pro-Hamas rallies, there won’t be calls for violence or genocide. And there will be a celebration of Israel and USA.
Randy Kessler with Stand With Us is speaking about the unity they’re seeing around Israel and Jews — despite all the hate mongers rallying around the country. Not everyone supports Hamas.
“Bellevue is with you.” -Bellevue deputy mayor Jared Nieuwenhuis.
"We don't want Israel to exist. We don't want these Zionist counter protesters to exist." -one of the so-called "peace keepers" at the UW-Seattle pro-Hamas, anti-Semite rally. 📸@kattressa
The Jew-hater from the video is seen here:
Just cc'ing @KING5Seattle @KIRO7Seattle @komonews @fox13seattle and @seattletimes so they're aware of this before they dare pretend this event was anything more than a hate rally as part of their coverage. Stop sanitizing this.
NEW: Gov. Jay Inslee just vetoed a budget proviso requiring community notice and consultation for placing sexually violent predator housing. He claims it's too burdensome.
The new Progressive 'equity' cause is to favor sex offenders at your expense. This is the Democrat party.
Republican leadership responds. Democrats should be condemning this — but will they?
Activists pushed the San Francisco Democratic Party to not recognize the Westside Family Democratic Club.
A vulgar activist said the word "family" is a "common dog whistle on the right" & one claimed it's a racist & fascist organization that's secretly a Republican group.🧵
Board members seemed to agree with the activists.
Secretary Anabel Ibanez asked a group representative what percentage of its members are racial and gender minorities, if they supported BLM and last year's School Board recall, and if he can define "family."
To be clear: Ibanez asked for the members' income info, racial backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations. She even appears to want them to pass some kind of political litmus test.
This is, of course, ludicrous. But in S.F., it's par for the course.
