plus aren't there gonna be 2-3 spots opening up during the next president's term? this could be a huge liberal swing if Obama gets an appointment AND HRC/Bernie gets another 2. Although RBG is one of them so it wouldn't be a 1:1 liberal/conservative swap
I think Ruth Ginsburg will just continue to do this out of spite until she is 100 or something

It has begun...

15 minutes in still on Scalia. Even Bush is backing holding up the nomination. This is going to be a mess.
I do love Kasich though.

The crowd literally booed when the moderator correct Cruz. No facts needed, only pandering.

Trump is 100% right on Syria. The last thing we need is to be backing Turkish and Saudi troops in Syria.

Except I believe Cruz was right. Kennedy was nominated in 77.
Edit: made the same mistake as moderator (kind of). LOL

This moderator talks too much.

Why does Trump hate Bush so much. For a normal front runner this would be below him, attacking the person in 5th, I'd think.

If we take Lazrov's comment about a new Cold War, Syria could be the proxy war between the US and Russia.

If you told me a year ago the leading Republican candidate would be standing on the debate stage calling the Iraq war a "Big Fat Mistake" I would of bet anything that wouldn't happen.
And 9/11, Ok Trump let's throw out Katrina for the trifecta.

He was nominated on 87, not 77. His confirmation took place right before primary.

IMO that was just pandering (Russian leaders do that a little more than I would like). This is just a standard power struggle between international interests.

A quick google search says he was nominated in Nov 787. He took his seat in 78.

Trump hates Bush especially because Bush got the better of him on eminent domain last time
