Conservative blog urges Senate to confirm Garland -- or else Hillary will nominate someone "worse."

She will, and they know it.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/redstate-confirm-merrick-garland-222793

Leon Wolf, the managing editor of conservative blog RedState.com, wrote in a post Wednesday that with Ted Cruz dropping out of the race for the GOP nomination and Donald Trump positioned to take it, “this is not even a close call.”

“There is absolutely no reason to drag this out any longer,” Wolf wrote. “Garland is not a great choice, but he is not a terrible one, either.”

After writing that “Republicans must know” they will lose the White House and “likely” the Senate, Wolf argued that the D.C. Circuit judge is probably older and more centrist than anyone Clinton would nominate.

Garland should pull out and Obama can nominate a black lesbian Wiccan.

That should be good for a few RNC strokes, the fuckin' pricks.
