No SCOTUS Appointment If Hillary Or Sanders Wins And GOP Keeps Senate.

If the GOP is so intransigent does that mean there will be no replacement of Scalia if a Dem wins the White House. 4 - 8 years of vacancies is a long time. The GOP makes it clear that they will accept only judges as racist and bigoted as Scalia. They won't be happy until we have 9 Scalias or Alitos on the Supreme Court. Bizarro world is upon us these days.

by a big guy who walks into the senate, picks up Yertle the Turtle McConnell and deposits him in the nearest trash bin, head first.

Improbable, but enjoyable.

Hillary is the nominee. IMO of course, but I think we have to keep that in mind.

Despite the media going crazy to boost ratings and imply there's a real race to keep you watching the freak show (and their ads,) the GOP is well and truly fucked this cycle and for quite a time thereafter.
