When Did Trump Comment On Appointing Ted Cruz To SCOTUS And Why..... [View all]

did he make those comments so close to the election? Did he know something about RBG's condition that led him to believe that he'd have the opportunity to make and appointment? Or was there something more sinister going on in his mind?

I know that RBG was really sick and in the hospital a couple of times in the last month or so. But she's a strong willed lady and I would have believed that she would have clung on to life until after Nov 3rd.

Maybe the Dems need to call for a complete Tox Report on RBG before any action can be taken to fill her position. Remember - the Russians are supposed to be helping Trump get re-elected. And how does Putin deal with situations such as these?

Yes - I have my tin-foil hat on tight this a.m..

Trump is either the luckiest man on earth or he's sold his soul to the devil or maybe the other way around - Trump sold a soul to the devil. You know what a con man he is.
