The major way Trump benefits from the RBG replacement fight

The leading story is now a contentious, high stakes, high publicity issue that has nothing to do with COVID.

Anything that distracts any swing state Republican leaning people who are frustrated with his incompetence and mendacity is probably a plus for him.

Hopefully, the naked Supreme Court power grab will be an additional PR negative for him and there will be 4 R Senators who care enough about their own political futures and place in history to stop it.

RIP Ruth Bader Ginsberg

A truly top tier role model. An exemplary woman, an exemplary human with a truly meaningful and important lifetime of work.

There are nothing but the ultimate positives to say about her, but damn I wish she could have lasted 3 more months. Mitch McConnell won't even blink at the hypocrisy of holding hearings on a replacement. One year was too close to an election for Merrick Garland, but 5 weeks before or even after a lost election will be just fine.
