SoConPubbie: ... I'd support him.
That's right.
It took a few understandable twists and turns, but as I posited, ...if MR does exactly as I have proposed, ...
... even SoConPubbie will eventually support MR.
Now that your thinking has been able to grasp some of the bigger picture, you might ask yourself if MR had only 1/2 the people I just proposed for cabinet and higher offices, would you prefer to have MR picking USSC justice replacements, or Obama?
You can't say "neither," because if you are intellectually honest with yourself you already realize that it is impossible to say "neither," because, unless all justices are alive and kicking for the next 4 years the choice only comes down to this.
So, without any bobbing and weaving, just answer the question.
FReegards!
