I hate it, but I think we all better get prepared for it. I'm still making small dollar donations to DNC, Biden, various senate candidates and The Lincoln Project, but I think the dynamic has changed too much. Frustrated.

Trump is not Houdini. He is a populist, but not a very good one. If he wins, it will be because he is good enough at it. Still, I think the dynamic hasn't changes much at all. It's just energized both sides, but I don't see anyone changing their mind over this.

+1 and replacing RBG was on the ballot way before she died. I’m not sure it makes that much of a difference.

Anyone paying attention knew RBG wouldn’t make it through a second Trump term. But this will bring it to the forefront for those who don’t pay much attention to scouts, which is most people. And it will cause Trump to put a single name out there. Someone with actual positions and who will be subject to public questions about those positions. So I think how it plays will depend in large part who he picks. If he goes for Barrett, it is a Democrat’s dream come true because she has many public extreme positions that won’t play well with middle of the road voters. If he goes for someone more mainstream, it probably won’t be an issue except for the respective bases.

Right, but the personal attacks on her reflect anti-religious bigotry. Obama's nominees did not face these kinds of attacks and were approved by huge numbers in both parties.

Were they associated with splinter sects championing zealotry?
Also, Mitch doesn’t GAF about abortion. Amy is a shill for corporatists. It’s all about money money money.

I have no idea because it does not matter. There is no relevance to these [likely false] attacks on ACB.

This is funny- yes, be careful to hide your anti Catholic bigotry. You are so subtle, we Catholics have no idea! No clue!

I guess they hide their Catholic bigotry behind...checks notes... a Catholic POTUS nominee.

And has he ever been attacked by Republicans for his religious beliefs? Check your notes if you need to but you are not going to find anything.

The anti-religious attacks on ACB have already begun and she has not even been nominated yet.

Go peddle your misogynist handmaiden crap elsewhere.

What? That book was fiction.

It’s not that she’s a practicing Catholic, it’s just her inexperience!

Remind which party’s nominee is a practicing catholic?

Lmao - most Catholics prefer a non- Catholic to a willful apostate like Joe Biden. Maybe be can intern at the local abortion clinic after he loses the race.

Only 11% of US Catholics subscribe to the church’s view on abortion (illegal under all circumstances). If republicans want to spend the next month calling the other 89% of us apostates, have it at it.

+1
I’ll go you one better, PP. Trump didn’t actually win the Catholic vote.

He does not need to win the vote. He just needs to do as well as he did last time or slightly better, especially in swing states like PA. The attacks on ACB will help Trump. Biden needs to denounce these attacks early and often.

I 100% agree.

When will Trump denounce his attacks on Biden's faith?

Not true. He has lost a lot of the senior vote in Arizona and Florida which makes both of those more swing than they were in 2016. That's 40 of the 44 extra votes that he needs. So, now, not only is he battling in the same states as he was in 2016, he now has to defend several states that were locks in 2016.

There's a reason why his campaign is out of money. He's spent a ton of money shoring up states that are traditionally red where he has been falling behind. He's blown through the biggest warchest in history and he's still behind. Fortunately, his corporate masters have just donated another $25M to a new PAC to help him out. That will help offset about 1/3 of the money that ActBlue just recorded for the 24 hour period after RGB passed. And before that he was almost $200M behind from the aftermath of the two conventions. So, Biden has about $250M more than Trump from the last 4 weeks alone.

You don’t need to go to religion to make the case she is extreme. She wrote an article questioning whether West Virginia should be a state under an originalist reading of the constitution. That should be a fun one for Sen. Capito.

Screw the religious portion of it; I don’t think that kind of internalized misogyny is fitting for anyone, let alone a justice. We’re already saddled with the rapist drunk Kavanaugh. I sure hope we don’t have to have someone who thinks women are lesser humans to replace RBG.

You know how there are Muslims, and then there are radical jihadists? Ya, there are Catholics, and then there are people like Barrett.

Wouldn’t ACB have to recuse herself from me a variety of issues? Guessing she’ll be moderate-liberal.
