he claims he made that suggestion back in the heat of the moment and not in hindsight...but i havent had enough motivation to go and look it up lol.

paul ryans sister in law just happens to be a well respected black woman judge (ketanji jackson) whose behalf ryan personally testified on during her district court nomination/confirmation. she was actually one of the candidates being considered by obama but he ultimately went with garland. her treatment would have helped paint the republican party as racist/biased (even moreso than at the time) and hopefully polarized more people against the repubs.

hillary should have made the supreme court seat front and center in her campaign and explicitly listed jackson as her pick. that would have motivated black voters, particularly black women, to the polls.

hindsight is 20/20 in both cases but they woulda been dope maneuvers.
