It's going to be awkward seeing Judges Gorsuch and Hardiman holding hands as Trump announces....

...who the nominee will be.

Not to mention the whole fake congratulatory kiss on the cheek to the nominee from the other candidate.

But the winner will get a nice bouquet of flowers and a sash, I hear.

Trump would televise himself on the gold crapper if he thought it might get ratings.
