Not really happy with the choices for candidates, I'll never vote for a liberal progressive like Klinton or Sanders especially to their anti 2nd amendment stance.
But I'm not fond of republican choices either. However my vote now will be geared toward the replacement of Scalia rather than a new president and my vote will be toward preventing a liberal anti 2nd amendment judge from getting the job.
I was prepared to sit this next election out but now that is my mission.
Join the party. His death will increase voter turnout, that is if he is not replaced before the election. Hopefully his seat will be filled before the end of this year.
I suspect the low end Democrats who rely on the Govt will be clueless about this issue.
It will bring out more of the conservative vote and probably sweep an R into the White House.
But the liberal elites are very powerful and the yuppie liberals usually have a good turnout. Bernie Sanders also has a very radicalized, brainwashed, and extremist base but one that's well organized.
Ross took a lot of the middle of the road votes. Many believe that those votes would have gone to Bush. Regardless. That Independent made a strong showing against the 2 party system.
What many "believe" means nothing when their are exit polls and you can google Perot's platform and see it in no way aligns with Bush.
Are you inferring that the low end Republicans who would not come out for Romney will come out this time around for the SCOTUS?
Romney lost for many reasons. First because he had the personality of a door stopper. Second he embellished on Obama's failures and got caught. This cost him credibility. He could have stuck to the facts and been far better off.
In my experience the biggest difference in GOP voters and Democrats is the passion. GOP voters by nature are conservative and just don't get as fired up, nor do they surrender their voter loyalty as easily. They just won't vote for a candidate that sucks, simply because they are Republican, as easily as democratic voters do.
Another is GOP candidates don't offer a host of free stuff. A good percentage of Democrats are people who are on the take from the FED and they will do just about anything to protect those freebies.
Romney lost because he had low personal appeal to people who actually want a candidate to have a personality.
Hillary maintains strong support, not because she is trust worthy or a good choice, but because she will continue the freebies just like Obama.

It's likely the Grand Obstructionist Party's actions will motivate a great number of people who hadn't planned to vote to reconsider and vote against their decision to refuse to perform their Constitutional duty and honestly consider any choice.
Harry Reid's trash can was full of obstructionism.....honestly.

No, I'm saying anyone who believes the GOP's intention is to approve anyone but a radical conservative nomination should come see me about a lovely little bridge I have for sale in Brooklyn.
They've declared the game to be obstructionism, they'll pick what they've planted.
