Political strategy implications - do you risk the hypocrisy of forcing a pick in before November, or do you wait it out and use it to rally your base?

Regardless - these "RBG better make it to January" posts are hauntingly eerie now.

First off, RIP to a true American hero.

Second, the election is over. Trump won today.

Even if he doesn't pick a new justice now, all he has to do is win in November, and pick a new justice in January, and Conservatives will go to the polls to get that done.

This also probably puts all of the battleground Senate seats, with the exception of Colorado and possibly Maine, in the Republican column.

In short, it's a magic bullet for Republicans.

In fact, it's so good for Republicans, that I'd almost suspect foul play if I didn't know how bad Ginsburg's health had been beforehand.

For once, we agree!
