Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Lods]

Shamefully, the Republicans are saying they won't allow Obama to fill the vacant position.

Strategically.
(No morals in politics)

If Trump or Cruz can get in and stack the Supreme Court, the US will be radically changed in a way that might take decades to reverse.

The Republicans replacing Scalia After the election (should they win) would just leave the "status quo" because he was more of their persuasion)
It's the Democratic side that would benefit if Obama could get his nomination through before he finished up.
So it will be a case of "can the Republicans hold the line."
Can they get the American people to accept the delay without harming their Presidential candidate.
