So let's say Hillary wins (probable) and Obama subsequently withdraws his Garland nomination. Assuming Obama holds off on another nomination until Clinton takes office, who does she select for the bench?

A bunch of my friends are complaining about the AP calling the race tonight. One of them even said he was going to support Trump now that Bernie is done. The rest just repeated their hatred of Hillary.

Meanwhile, I train for my Clinton 2016 fellowship this weekend. :hellyeah:

It's really dumb of the AP to call the race tonight, especially when the decisive outcome is coming tomorrow. The Clinton campaign seemed upset, though not nearly as much as the Sanders people.

Sort of casts a pall over the whole primary tomorrow.

I mean, I agree that it was dumb of them, and I wish they had waited until tomorrow, but they're only confirming what everyone has known for a week.

If you genuinely think that Hillary isn't the presumptive nominee, then you either think Sanders is gonna get a blowout win tomorrow that puts him ahead in the delegate count, Sanders is going to convince enough super delegates to switch their votes to him that he has more delegates at the convention, or that Hillary is going to be indicted, which is basically saying that you hope you win the lottery. I don't think this helps the Clinton campaign any, certainly, but the end result isn't gonna change any.

Everyone has known for months. So what they're doing is trying to scoop the actual election for no loving reason other than being first. It would be like if on election eve 2012 they ran a story at 8:00pm that Obama was going to win the election. Yes, it is accurate and anyone following the race knew that it was going to happen. It's still wrong, and quite frankly, morally repugnant. Wait until the votes are cast or at the very least give your rear end in a top hat statement of fact a week or three before the election.

We've known that Hillary was going to be the nominee since around the same time we knew Obama was going to be the nominee in '08. We also knew that there was no way the Super Delegates were going to over rule the entire primary season up to this point and give it to the candidate with less pledged delegates, who had lost. Call it when New Jersey closes it's polls, or wait until California votes. Don't come out 12 hours before the election with some old rear end news repackaged just to poo poo all over anyone coming out to vote tomorrow.

I might not agree with her 100% of the time, but I'm ready to watch Hilary get an insane number of electoral college votes, but not be able to do anything because the DNC local chapters loving suck and will barely be take advantage for the local races.

Yea, Bernie would have to win California by 30 points with a nearly 100% voter turnout (higher than ever in a primary election) for him to even come close to winning the popular vote.

Addressing a crowd of supporters at a midnight victory rally Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton credited her triumph to the baleful, pitch-black tide of fate from which no man, woman, or child could ever hope to escape. “Our victory today is proof that the floodgates of history have opened, and the dire, unremitting current of inevitability has been loosed on the helpless masses,” said Clinton, bidding voters to surrender themselves to the advancing and all-consuming veil of destiny before its icy, ink-dark gloom laid waste to all who dared resist. “Do not attempt to flee or hide, for the stygian waters I have unleashed upon this earth will sweep along all in their path. Those who stand with me shall ride the crest of this woeful tidal bore all the way through November and unto the very steps of the White House itself. And let any who would try to stem this mighty surge be borne under the dark-winged waters, where their pleas for mercy will go unheard by the world, stifled and subdued forevermore.” At press time, Clinton was reminding supporters there was still plenty of work ahead to secure a win in California tomorrow.

Obama won't withdraw Garland's nomination because it would look like he used a good man and talented jurist as a part of a cynical political ploy. If Hillary wins, I expect that the GOP will continue to obstruct until the next congress is sworn in. There's the off-chance that they'll confirm him, but I doubt it. They've been stuck on "fling yourself to the ground while screaming and making GBS threads your pants" as a political strategy for so long that I think they'll keep it up out of habit.

As for who she'd pick, I don't know. The three indicators to look for beyond talent are: young-ish, minority, and liberal as all get out.

No, the day after the election Garland will be fast tracked. They aren't going to roll the dice and hope Hillary doesn't appoint a Notorious RBG 2.0. Garland is their best case replacement for Scalia and they know it.

Hillary's 5 minute long cackle to start her victory speech is going to light a fire under the Senate GOP to get what they can from Obama in the lame duck Congress.

There's a lot more people who like Hillary than a brief browse of the internet would suggest. Partially this is because her strongest demographics (low-income people, minorities, and women) are exactly the demographics that are most poorly represented online, and partly that's because those demographics tend to get shouted down a lot. The prevailing narrative for a long time was "Hillary only has cynical oligarchs and deluded sheep following her, nobody actually likes her," which is preposterous on the face of it. But if you wish to position yourself as a follower of the Only Logical Candidate, you have to minimize the real reasons some people support your opponent. And of course if you live in the Right Wing Outrageosphere, it's simply impossible to grasp the concept of someone legitimately desiring obvious Satanic vagina-witch Shrillary Killaton as president.
