Democrats consider backing off big battle over Trump's Supreme Court pick

3. Do the Democrats want to survive?

No I am not asking this is a rhetorical question, but after gain their clock cleaned because they seemed all too eager to make compromise after compromise, they go ahead and do this.

Let me be very blunt, especially in light of the fact that we know who the nominee is, I while he might not be a raging fascist, the fact that he supported the high belie the decision is in and of itself more than enough reason to mount a challenge. If the Democrats do not oppose a Supreme Court justice considering that the main issue that Hillary Clinton ran on was the need to prevent the Supreme Court from going the right wing, they will not have nearly insulted us, not merely have insulted their voters, they might as well go up to Hillary Clinton and say "sorry, the main reason people have for voting for you really didn't matter much." This poor serious salt in the wound to the people who initially supported Sanders, but sucked up there pride because they knew that they could not allow the Supreme Court to be taken over by the GOP. Let's be blunt, Trump will not be here in eight years, barring serious warping of the Constitution. This new person is 49, in good health, and is considered an heir to Antonin Scalia. This has to be fought.
