“Senate Republicans are choosing sides ahead of a brutal conflict over how to handle the lingering Supreme Court vacancy, with Jeff Flake firing back at a suggestion by Ted Cruz that the party could indefinitely block any nominee from Hillary Clinton,” Politico reports.

“The internal GOP battle over what to do about Merrick Garland — President Barack Obama’s choice for the court — and any future Clinton nominee will dominate the lame duck session of Congress after the election. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is holding the seat vacant for the next president — but Cruz has suggested that Republicans could continue to block Democrats from appointing a new nominee for much longer.”

1. Hillary needs to highlight the civil war amongst Republicans. Because it is one.

If the GOP wins, it will be like Italy's parliament with many GOP factions fighting over everything amonst themselves.

7. It would not surprise me to see the Senate confirm Garland after the election.

They have been hoping for a Trump victory and we are hoping for Hillary victory. Also if the Senate swings back to Democratic then Hillary could give us a good SC appointment so I am thinking the RNC would rather have Garland.

8. She won't replace Garland knowing she'll get two more.
