And while Garland's path remains a very uphill battle, some Republicans are starting to shift their tone.
Two weeks into the nomination fight, 16 Republican senators now say they will meet with Garland — over 25 percent of the GOP caucus — according to a running count by NBC News.

Better NOT be KS chump Jerry Moran or he's toast!
He barely won a primary against a reliable conservative Todd Tihart last time and Todd hasn't gone anywhere - he's still around and waiting for Moran's true colors to show!!!

A quarter of republican senators would be 25% of 54 or 14 rounded up, not 25+.

If they’re going to end the party over Trump they may as well go out in the most spectacular way possible. Maybe they can get with the Ds and repeal the 1st and 2nd amendments while they’re at it.

Good to see McConnell has the matter firmly in hand, troops are clearly disciplined and ready for a protracted siege by the political left and their allies in the media and academia. With a little luck, they may be able to exploit and counterattack. /s
