I'm not hating anyone. Lol

But let's not pretend that if he selects a female or even a minority female, that would make any difference on how he's portrayed on media or by Dems. They'll hate regardless.

It's not about them. It's about fence-sitting American moms in the PA suburbs. It's about fence-sitters in Florida who aren't sure if they think Trump is racist or sexist or not. Most people are not hard-line political ideologues. That middle segment is huge.

Look at the margins that Trump won by last time... SCOTUS pick, the unfortunate necessity of the optics, could absolutely make the difference.

I'm sure they won't use religion and abortion rights against any of the possible female picks.

Optics will always be against us because we let them control the narrative. We'll just have to wait and see how the show goes.
