I am convinced the plan was:
HRC gets in, Obummer replaces Scalia. The SC is tipped way left for a decade at least. This is why O and the rats didn’t push harder to get his guy in there. Trump shocked them by winning so Chuckie is throwing a fit. I don’t see him going full out for Scalia’s replacement though because it will be a conservative for a conservative. If one of the Rat hacks leave look out, total war and the R’s will have to go nuclear.
Also the reason why Ginsburg stuck around. If she thought there was the slightest chance that Hillary would lose she would have retired and been replaced last year.
