5. McCain's death makes a Kavanaugh confirmation more likely... not much of a gift.

Long term matters more than short term. A few days reprieve from media coverage of The Dotard's message is nothing in the big picture.

I think Kavanaugh would have been confirmed anyway, but it's even more likely now. Trump will be dead and buried for decades before we repair the damage wrought by the upcoming ultra-right SCOTUS majority, if ever.
