The impotent republicans setting themselves up for a loss of the senate in November. These people haven’t a clue.

They ought to offer Obama a deal as a fellow member of the Uniparty:
Nominate Ted Cruz and we'll put him right in! Then, with Cruz out of the way, we can *all* concentrate on attacking Trump.

Another reason Trump is so high in the polls. It seems a non- politician Trumps any conservative at this point. This will only make it worse for the repubs. Clueless or just part of the establishment.
To: GIdget2004
When I heard that stuttering fool Eric Bolling, the FNC “conservative,” pimping for the Republican Senate to review an Obama nomination I knew right then and there the GOPe jig was up.

When the Republican leaders fold as is their wont Donald Trump wins the primary.. and if the election is honest he probably will be president. Healthy at sixty-something he probably won't have a "
natural death" for a couple of decades.
Cruz could beat Trump if he campaigns from the Senate fighting day-and-night the Republicans kowtowing to Obama.

Please explain.
Do you think we should let Obama pick the SCOTUS Justice replacement?
