Absolutely. The crime of the people electing a non white President must never happen again.

I really hope you don't believe the B.S. you post.
Obama sucks & your party is hemorrhaging seats @ every level because of him.
It's your fault for electing an idiot, not because of the jerk's color.

And I hope you are doing the same.

Edit: Looks like you are becoming unhinged like your current hero.

The Repubs are going to play hardball.

Obama should nominate a very qualified Hispanic centrist.

A bait for rabid Repubs to outdo themselves.

Because Lynch can indict Clinton. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Uh oh, are you are down to the phony talking points?

It is more like Democratic idiots letting the GOP do the redistricting and doing nothing about it.

Well you came on with some bullshit about how the Democrats would do the same as the GOP if the situation was reversed. Recent history and my 53 years on the planet proves your statement to be non-valid. You may want to bone up on American history before you start posting. Or perhaps you are buying into the current GOP theory of "relativism" when it comes to historical facts.

You have to be realistic John. Obama, like Reagan in 86, will have to at least mold his choice to the Senate that he has to work with. I would love to see Holder on the court...it ain't going to happen. If there is a moderate GOP justice who represents a middle ground that might be ok for this Senate during a very contentious election year Obama may have to go with that.


My Hillary thread aside, but imagine if the world ended and Bernie lost and Trump got the choice instead of Obama.
