It's funny who McConnell tells Trump who he thinks Trump should pick to fill the SC?

Trump was told by McConnell that he thinks Barrett is the best choice! Isn’t that Trump job? Just asking!

So, Trump's at least two degrees away from the real decision.

In the past, any president facing a Supreme Court Justice vacancy would get advice from lots of people. A normal president would want to hear dissenting views and ideas in order to form an informed opinion. Then the president would make their choice.

Obviously, these are not normal times.

Oh, by the way, Trump is an idiot.
