Donald Who?

As Trump’s numbers tank, it’s no secret that Congressional Republicans are trying to jump ship. While only a few have openly endorsed Hillary Clinton, the mainstream GOP leadership has largely sat out the presidential race, and there have been calls for the Republican party apparatus to shift its resources to saving its majorities in the House and Senate.

With Trump having strongly endorsed the anti-Garland blockade, confirming Garland could be a way for Senate Republicans to distance themselves from him. After all, it would be much easier for vulnerable Republican senators to say “I’m not Trump” if they actually did something that Trump opposes

McConnell will grow another chin over night if President Hillary Clinton nominated Barrack H. Obama to the USSC. Time is running out on the GOP.

The Republicans could thank their lucky stars to get Garland.

All things considered, he seems like a pretty moderate pick.

McConnell is totally screwing the GOP with his "unprecedented" stonewalling of Obama's pick.

The Republican Party has poisoned the African American well of voters for generations, by showing the first Black President so little respect. I don't think any President in the history of this country has had an entire political party obstruct him so totally for eight consecutive years. And then Comrade Trump asks...

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE?"

Jimbo...do you think the Ds will rethink Cankles?

I wonder if they won't be considering something else.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nah, the GOP will not rethink Garland.

Well, they may get bored with a candidate that has an 80%+ chance of winning the White House. When they do, maybe....

What does it say about your party that a lying corrupt criminal for POTUS is wonderful?

Oh well...we must remember your favorite motto: The ends justify the means.

Look, the Dems did not pick the psychotic narcissist that is now your party's Standard Bearer. YOU DID! Now you are stuck with him. ENJOY!

Let's remember that, for a significant portion of his own party, McConnell is nothing more than a radical leftist pinko commie Marxist socialist communist transsexual Nazi who wants nothing more than to destroy America and turn it into Venezuela.

So, since he's a professional politician whose top priority is keeping his cushy gubmit job, he's gotta do that stuff.

So it's not his fault.

Okay...if the Donald is a psychotic narcissist, what does that make your hero's Cankles and Big Ears?

Garland is the best offer they will get. Hillary may not be so kind if Garland gets withdrawn

Republicans played political gamesmanship and appear to have lost. They will rush to confirm Garland in a lame duck Congress if Hillary wins and the Dems take the Senate

It may be too late

My guess (worth pretty much nothing) is that Hillary wouldn't screw him over by pulling the rug out from under him and withdrawing his nomination.

Plus, in the grand scheme of things, she's relatively moderate herself.

[rightwinger]

Nah, the GOP will not rethink Garland.

The GOP is between a rock and a hard place with Garland

Their voters will rebel if they allow the SCOTUS to go 5-4 liberal by confirming Garland
Hillary may decide to take a younger and more liberal alternative if she wins and Dems take the Senate

Lose/Lose for Republicans

I realize, like trump and all of his other supporters, you too are afflicted with ADD, but at least try to stay on topic, retard.

GOP will not rethink Garland before the election. If HRC wins, Obama will withdraw his nomination. Yes, if the GOP does not confirm Garland in the next 70 odd days, the party is screwed on SCOTUS.

Allowing Garland to be confirmed after Republicans left him dangling for a year would be the honorable thing to do

But should Republicans be rewarded for their obstructionism? Garland was offered as a moderate choice for a Republican Senate to confirm. They wouldn't even talk to him
Should the same choice be offered if there is a Democratic Senate to confirm?

Well, in a normal world, this would just go through.

Political gamesmanship and partisan retribution notwithstanding.

Does this mean Obama won't be worse POTUS evah?

By Hillary's second term, the SCOTUS will be leaning way to the left, 6 to 3 or maybe even 7 to 2. And 3 of those 6 will probably be under 30 years old and make Garland look like a hardcore rightie. ROTFLMAO.
