No statement. Straight to the intention to nominate.

The body barely cold.

Against Clinton, Trump loses by 4.7 points. Against Sanders, he loses by 9.7 points. Here are the results for the other front runners: > Cruz vs. Clinton – Cruz wins by 0.2 (basically a tie) > Cruz vs. Sanders – Sanders wins by 3.0 http://www.allenbwest.com/2016/02/latest-key-poll-result-trump-will-never-mention/

And if Trump gets involved, though... he’s going to call the media things that will make their ears Bern.

The Democrats are already frothing at the mouth to beat the drum and shouting ‘RACIST/SEXIST REPUBLICANS’ if they hold up an Oblama appt here. How come election tactics always favor the Democrats? I guess the Republicans aren’t willing to KILL SOMEONE to advance their agenda like the Democrats are!

Trump should promise Cruz the SCt nomination. Cruz should drop out, as he will be tied up with citizenship challenges should he get the nomination anyway, and Cruz should spend his energy stopping any Obama nomination.

Then once Trump gets the Republican nomination and Bernie is cut out of the process by the Dem’s dirty tricks, Trump should offer the VP slot to Bernie. Bernie’s followers will then flock to Trump as well because they will be sooo pissed off at that point. Bernie can then check Trump’s messianic impulses, and Trump will check Bernie’s Maoist tendencies. Neither will serve more than one term. Bernie and Trump (through his Russian women) can allay Putin’s fears, and Russia and the US can combine constructively to defeat radical Islamists for good.

There’s no rational reason to believe that the Republicans in the Senate will stand tough against Obama.

"He’ll name someone by about Tuesday.... "

He has to create a diversion first so the LMSM ignores it.

Oh, I think the GOPe would kill Trump, if they could.

I imagine there have already been several attempts.

This is in an environment where Trump hasn't debatedmud stomped either yet. He's coming up as a tabula rasa in these hypothetical polls. They mean nothing and I believe you already know that anyhow.

He didnt even wait for Scalia's body to get cold before he announced this. Im betting inside the White House Obama and Jarrett couldn't hold back their jubilation over Scalia's death

There needs to be an autopsy by an independent coroner with really good body guards.

“What’s Obama’s record when it comes to showdowns with Republicans in Congress?

I’m not sure, but I think he’s undefeated.”

I’d say Obama is the heavy weight champ when it comes to beating republicans. But then again, he is fighting republicans, so that’s not saying much.

So we need some irrational reasons.

Yuck, this poll had better be garbage. I cant believe that Kasich would be polling so well in SC.

Hillary is making a deal with Obama right now. She’ll leave the presidency to Bernie if she can be the next SCJ. A nightmare scenario, to be sure.

That won’t happen.
SCOTUS would put a crimp on her ability to make huge $$.
