So, what are the chances with Trump getting the nomination for good that the GOP flips on their anti-Garland outlook?

Not just yet. Right now they still have to pretend like they think they can win this.

Hopefully Obama withdraws Garland in the lame duck as a big FU to them.

Would be quite the disgusting treatment of a universally respected judge to do so.

Oh yeah, because the GOP is treating this "universally respected judge" SO well.

Roll Eyes

Of course the GOP isn't treating him respectfully. I believe the point was that there's no reason for Obama to screw over Garland like that.

I just find it unlikely that Obama would make the last act of his presidency admitting to the American people that he intentionally put up a substandard Supreme Court nominee.
