If it becomes clear the R's are losing the Senate and President, how quickly will they decide a lame duck president should be able to nominate a justice? Because Obama's nomination is far better than they could hope for from Hillary + D Senate.Comment

I've been wondering that as well... when do they bite the bullet and decide that current candidate is probably better for them then any Hillary will put up.Originally posted by Aeson View PostKeep on Civin'

Someone tell me about Steve Bannon, head of the Breitbart News website, and new Trump point man... Canadian pundits seem to think he's a racist conspiracy theorist.There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

It's pretty much more of the same for Trump. They still didn't get rid of the two guys who took bribes from former pro-Russian Ukrainian leader Yankoyvich.Originally posted by Uncle Sparky View PostFor there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

That wouldn't limit losses. That would be doubling down. There's no point to it. If you're caving now, you'll destroy the party. What they will do is just let Hillary make the selection rather than take political heat for something that they have nothing to gain from. Of course, if the Pubbies get decimated they could do something out of spite, but that's going to get them 20 years in the wilderness.Probably gone already... time to limit the losses.
If there was political gain to doing it, they'd have done it already.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Much as it pains me to say these words, I think Ben is right this time (but is still a dick, just in case he thought about using this in his sig
). They've spent 8 years calling Obama the Muslim anti-Christ, if they caved in now they'd get eviscerated by their rabid base.

It would be very easy for them to say they took the lesser of two evils, preventing Hillary from nominating a gay abortion doctor or whoever they'd suppose she was going to nominate.Comment

She would nominate Obama. It is known.Originally posted by Aeson View PostOne day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

While I would love an Obama nomination just to stick it to them for being so obnoxious. I figure they'll wait for the lame duck session and do it then. After the election they don't have anything to lose except an Obama nomination.

Rah, it's over.
Kidicious simply tossed you aside like a salad in this thrade. His arguments are flawless, his grammar is superb, and his theories are indestructible. Since you will probably nevar poast on Apolyton again out of humiliation, I for one will miss you. And you know what I will say next...
Kidicious has just PWNed your ass.

Yes, even when he's been banned for a month he can pwn me.
