If anything this will push up Democratic turnout. This could be the one thing that keeps up the sense of urgency that Democrats have.

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.

Conservatives are already going to turn out. Trump is maxed out for turnout and that has never been a concern. His problem is that he has alienated moderates in places that Republicans have never alienated them before. There are no Trump voters left to energize, because they are already insanely obsessed with seeing Trump re-elected. This only makes reluctant Democratic voters more like to turnout to vote for Biden.

First of all, RIP to Ruth Ginsburg, a great woman.

Then, electorally, I also think that Trump's base is energized enough. But will there be any effect on more swing-y voters?

In this election it seems as if there are fewer swing voters than ever since there are such glaring differences between the candidates.

I hereby withdraw my endorsement of Joe Biden. He and Kamala Harris represent the failed establishment and would actively drive this country further into the wrong direction. The only reason I was supporting him was in the hope that he would replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. With that now shot, there is no reason to support him.
