Well except dismissing everything out of hand. In a close presidential election, votes matter. It actually is silly to suggest voters who may have only been inclined to vote Trump in November on the hopes of getting RBG's seat might not be persuaded to vote, at least in some amount of support, for him now that her seat isn't on the table.

Even if it only amounts to a few thousand voters in Florida - it may be enough to alter the entire election.
