Former Speaker of the House was a serial child molester and yesterday's headline was Cruz/Fiorina. Good luck getting new traction right now.

Not saying he's been good at this, but his best hope is to wait for a lull between the primary voting and the conventions

I'm kind of with that. I think the larger impact on the party is if he pushes the issue during the general election cycle. Now it just gets lost. -- nm - volnelk Apr 28, 07:42 7

  - The other angle is: maybe he thinks Hillary wins and he doesn't care if Garland is confirmed. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:54 4

      - Agreed, he has sucked in general about holding them to task over judicial nominations overall -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 08:04
    - Garland has always been a sacrificial lamb. His purpose is to be a symbol of the GOP's intransigence. - TWuG Apr 28, 07:57 1
      - I don't think he withdraws before the election. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:58
- Yep. You wait til you can force the actual GOP nominee to take a position on filling the vacancy -- nm - TWuG Apr 28, 07:48
