Not only does it get her in the Senate now, it positions her for re-election as an incumbent, avoiding a primary war and giving her a huge head start against any Democratic challengers. Challengers who will likely wear themselves out in primary battles.

The only kink in this plan is Trump screwing things up so badly that even if he doesn't leave office one way or the other, his coattails will be the toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Who else would he appoint, anyway?
