McConnell made it quite plain that Scalia would be replaced after the election and not before. That is no small thing.
It was a good move and a strong one.
Very good point.
McConnell has said plenty but the one thing he did not count on was Trump winning. He felt his boy, Yeb, was going to take the high office. McConnell has said a lot of things, to take credit for Trump’s victory is robbing the bank and saying he captured the robber.
I’m inclined to give him that one, keeping Obama’s judge from being appointed. Although to be accurate, McConnell staved the appointment of to ensure a Republican pick, any Republican.
I hate the guy but that is right on.
