Fear that another conservative will replace Scalia?The only threat to Hillary is the only candidate losing to him?
Trump has yuuge negatives with women. Over 70%. Romney did well with him despite the war on women meme. There is no way trump beats him there. And if he can't beat Romney with women how is he going to win the election against a woman.
And that's not even factoring those of us men who wont vote for him because of how he treats women
actually, yes. the threat to Hillary would be if the GOP wee smart enough to run Kasich. but they aren't so it's all good.
It is a long time in politics from now until the conventions, but if the tell tale signs are correct, we will see internecine break out in force at the Republican Convention, if they nominate Trump or if they do not nominate Trump. Kasich is the smart choice, as was Huntsman in 2012, but when have the R's made a smart choice? McCain and Palin? Romney, GWBush?
The real question mark is this, can the Republican Party survive?
Once the D's were characterized as the party of cats which could not be herded. Today the Republican Party has fractured into regional and ideological pieces whose single common interest is to thwart HRC of her parties nomination and election to the office of POTUS. Is that enough to win the popular vote?
Not when 70% of women oppose Trump, minorities too, who also oppose Cruz and have a legitimate fear that another extreme conservative will replace Scalia. and continue nonsensical and ideological decisions on a 5-4 vote, which seem to benefit the power elite and leave the hoi polloi majority out in the cold.
Which means the court remains the same?
The same court that granted same-sex marriage and gave us Obamacare?
This is what you fear?
The same court which voted 5-4 on both issues, and the CJ was attacked by the crazy right wing? Those two were social issues, and notwithstanding the meme that CU cases were about Free Speech, they were completely political and a means to an end, that giving even more power to the power elite to impact elections to benefit the haves at the expense of the have nots.
