Good talking point, but undecideds will be super sick of it by November, so maybe a calculated risk for Republicans.

Plus, if Obama does nominate a conservative judge hoping to make that talking point and the senate approves, they suddenly seem like the reasonable party AND get a candidate they want.

The entire situation will likely help Republicans until they realize what an amazing deal they are getting and then they capitulate. It will likely have very little effect on the Presidential election other than providing a retroactive excuse for the millionth time about how the Senate was insufficiently obstructionist for the House freedom caucus' taste and how if only the American people could've seen that electing a true conservative like Ted Cruz this all could be avoided.

honestly, it could help trump if he gets into a general. would fit neatly into an anti-incumbant/anti-insider push. cruz has tried that angle himself, but the voters don't appear to buy it from him and he has no chance at winning the primary anyways.

Getting back to the original topic...

Obama is apparently vetting the Republican governor of Nevada which is maybe the most Obama thing ever in that it is a compromise position that everyone will hate and probably won't work either.

I didnt view it as serious, but as a troll by Obama and Reid. We will see tho. If Im a GOP Senators, this is my chance to get as conservative of a justice as possible after Trump wins the nomination* all bets are off.

*Assuming of course, because Rubio could magically start winning at some point.

Why would you think it's a troll? Single payer health care became a health care plan that was nothing but a boondoggle for the insurance industry. Helping the American worker became more business friendly international trade agreements. Closing Gitmo became closing Gitmo on my damn near last day. Prison reform became using executive order to sneak some people out of jail one night. Immigration reform became doing eff all to help immigrants but deporting more immigrants than any other president. Leaving Afghanistan became well, jack crap I guess.

kat kid was right this is the most Obama thing ever. He is worried about making friends and preserving a legacy instead of doing what the eff we elected him to do and the cruel irony is that after nearly eight years he doesn't understand that at best they many of the people he is trying to please will see him as nothing more than a uppity house n-word that needs to be put back in his place.

He's an amazing disappointment and I am sad that Bernie has stopped giving him the pinata treatment he has earned, this stupidity is more of the same.

I like how the headline describes it as a "secretive society" and then all the information about the group in the article is prefaced with "according to their website..."

Obama is having a pretty tough time finding someone who will accept his appointment, which pretty lol about how rough ridin' terrible and toxic b.o. is

K-S-U-Wildcats! · « **Reply #609 on:** February 26, 2016, 08:43:37 AM »

I would expect he'll ride this out a few more months before he makes his pick so he can get a better gauge on how he thinks the elections are going to shake out.

This has more to do with the toxicity of congress than the president. You think anyone wouldn't want to be the last judge confirmed under obama? Both of you dumbasses would take it if you thought you would get confirmed.

Oh and LOL at the faux olive branch oration of consultation and consideration . . . as long as we pre approve your nominee.

There is no humor in lies about political records when those lies makes up your entire party's platform or position. It's sad.
