Very established. Very credible.

I'm sure that will be his undoing.

Oh, no, wait, what am I thinking? The Republicans in the Senate will reject him out of hand regardless.

Now the Republicans have to consider who Hillary would nominate possibly forcing them to waffle on their previous statements. All in all a pretty big fail on their part in how they've handled things from the election to this SCOTUS situation.

Dude, what you might want to watch instead is the RNC.

MEH
That is what the lame stream media wants you to think so

Good boy! You are listening to them.


And it has nothing to do with RNC or the DNC
They are of the same feather
Those on the RNC side have had enough

Gonna take a bit longer for the sheep on the DNC side it appears

So we will let the voters decide then

I'll admit, I do like the idea of having an election based on real issues like a SCOTUS nomination rather than the typical 3 or 4 divisive issues that really have nothing to do with the president.

The voters decided in 2008 and again in 2012.

If Hillary wins the general are you going to say that the 2020 voters should decide instead?

The lame stream media? You mean your primary source of information?

I get a chuckle over how quickly you go from treating their reports like gospel to ignoring what they say, depending on how close they are to your spin of the day.

So I have no idea what reports you refer too

I read
All over on line
Sometimes sights like drudge (who rarely writes anything and links to stories) do link to the ones I listed. Hell, even the Huffington puffington post will have a story I read

But more often it is local outlets from all over the place

This is but one example

I am not on twitter, facebook or any other social media sight either

Mainly because I have never learned to use them

As for you having a chuckle?

I doubt that.

As angry as you seem to be lately.

Just sayin....

Now the Senate - will have to consider who Hillary would nominate possibly forcing them to waffle on their previous statements.

absolutely, if Hillary gets in, no way will she nominate someone even close to objective/center/constitutional

If Trump gets in, what type of judge would he nominate (the "best" of judges, he has the 'best words' - but I'd like examples of actual people, good luck getting that)

The Senate would do well to seriously review any candidate offered right now.....blind partisan rejection is just as stupid when Reps do it as Dems.

but......we know how this turns out...

If you don't watch them, then how do you know what they want their audience to think?

What they post here is why I stopped watching them 10 years ago
Nothing has changed except for the fact that there are many many alternate sights to go to


I would bet(guess) you watch your main news outlets too
My guess based on what you post

There is no precedent for not considering Supreme Court nominees for a whole year. The GOP mouthpieces imply that there is, but there isn't. This is obstructionism, plain and simple. I would say the same thing if a Rep were in office.
