Look ppl, if not for McConnell there would BE no nomination because the court would be full.
And why nominate a hard core conservative, who may not get confirmed, occupy lots of coverage, waste time, WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IF THEY’LL STAY CONSERVATIVE a la Roberts.
Nominate a right of center, confirmable judge and hope there is no drift leftward once on the court. Done.

That is how we got into the situation we are in. Why put in moderates who will turn liberal. We have played this game before. It is time we stand up and fight to put strong conservatives anywhere we can get them. I am ready to fight and I think Trump is too.
