#1 ...'Rallying' for Heidi costs nothing, especially when she's down by 10 (as of the last polls I saw) with less than 30 days to go. Typical Democratic response - all show, damned little go.

#2 The Kavanuagh backlash at the Dems as the "Party of Lies" may cost the Dems far more than they ever expected. Flip ND quite possibly, might even flip Montana, Indiana and West Virginia, and will solidify holds on other seats that were edging closer.

If they simply add 2 more seats with reliable conservatives, it changes the Senate a ton. 4 seats would make things incredibly easier considering the new senators are more conservative than the ones they are replacing.

With Flake replaced by a somewhat more conservative, McCain replaced by another somewhat more conservative, and the weak sisters Collins MurCOWski no longer needed for a majority vote, it makes the Senate much easier to get another conservative through.

Hello RBG, meet your replacement, Amy Coney Barrett.

Breyer is 80. If he kicks or retires, The Replacement for Breyer? Justice Willett has a nice ring to it.

And rumors abound about Justice Thomas health. If Thomas health is an issue, he should retire at the end of this session while Trump can name his replacement. The replacement for Thomas? Amul R. Thapar - the first Indian-American minority on the SC.

Could you imagine that? All those conservatives, all under 60.
