I’d say it is time to rally around the front runner.
They already seem to be more awake now than they have in the last decade.
The tone I get from some articles and posts about this is “Yay! Justice Scalia died! Now people will vote for my candidate!”
Not really my thing.
1. Hillary or Sanders would be able to appoint from one to maybe as many as four Justices.
2. Those justices would be liberal.
3. Trump is a clown and Cruz is a vampire that smells bad and nobody likes.
4. If we want to put in Justices we the GOPe likes, then we need to have a winning candidate like Jeb or Rubio.
5. You all need to rally around Jeb or Rubio or Kasich, but make up your minds QUICK!
6. If we do get a reasonable candidate and go on to win the Presidency then we can guarantee you a solid conservative justice like Souter or Kennedy or Roberts.
Now go back to your little lives and think on what we said.
No. The Trumpeteers are lost souls, doomed to following their pied piper into the abyss.
FWIW, Reagan named 2 conservatives and two who evolved, Sandy O’Connor & Anthony Kennedy.
GW Bush named Roberts & Alito.
Seems best case scenario is 50% of GOP picks will be conservative.
Getting pretty burnt out on all the bloody BS in this primary!
