Elvis is alive! 76 Posted September 2, 2020 RBG will probably pack it in, right after Trump gets re-elected. It will be because she cannot hold on for another 4 years, and just give up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She tried like hell to survive until Trump is gone- because if he is in power, the Far Right will put another one of Their Own on, and they are on for life.... you watch, they will be trying to put somebody on before the election, or possibly between the election and the next inauguration. What a wonderful lady she was though, one of the greats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see Susan Collins being up for replacing her before the election being how her Kavanaugh vote has helped put her in trouble in the first place - so only one more and then republicains dont have the numbers. But I think trump is getting relected so the USA is going to have another two decades of such polaristation only a civil war will solve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted September 19, 2020 There are 2 possibilities- RBG's death could help Trump win the election because he nominates an extreme right winger to replace her before Nov 3. Or it could help the Democrats because now they know what the stakes are if Trump gets a 2nd term. What is everyone's thoughts on how it might affect the election?

Murkowski, Collins, and Romney I think will shoot it down, which makes it a 50-50 tie and Pence breaks it. Chuck Grassley might be receptive to postponing it, but I'm not sure.
