The first thought is to stonewall and wait for the election.
But is that the best way forward. I want a conservative replacement. What is the best way that has the most chance of achieving that?
Do you go for the Hail Mary pass, hoping a Republican becomes President? Hopefully the Senate stays Republican.
What if the Senate turns democrat in the election?
What if Hillary or Bernie wins? It’s all over.
Maybe a fight with Obama now for an acceptable nominee would be better?
Who knows? The devil you know vs the devil you don’t know.
I not proposing one over the other. There are pitfalls in all of the choices.
What is the best path forward? I’m not sure.
Ahhh, No
If we roll the dice and lose both the White House and Senate, good luck on getting any kind of moderate.
