When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose - Kennedy retiring [View all]

Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to do the following:

1. Let Mango Mussolini make a nomination
2. Dems refuse to confirm anyone, attend any hearings until after the election.
3. Make the election a referendum on the SC pick
4. If Dems win the House/Senate provide one compromise - Merrick Garland
5. If Dems lose it is over anyway.

Look, the Country won't last until 2020, time for full on fight. When the media sides with Pukes over the delays, tell them to FUCK OFF!
