I would love to come full circle and have him nominate:
That dude spoke truth.
I say far left because I would be trying to trick the Republicans into obstructing. If he picks some moderate corporate shill house n!gger then the Republicans get their way, won't obstruct and keep their majority.
The other thing to think about is that if he picks a weak moderate, it adds fuel to Sanders' campaign when Barry is obv going to be pushing for Shillary.

dont see how the race card works with clarence uncle thomas in there tbh
I would love to come full circle and have him nominate:
That dude spoke truth.for every black vote he'd gain, he'd lose 5 Jewish votes
You can name some for sure. You can also name some democrats that are being hypocrites over this issue also.
Obama wouldn't nominate a moderate.
He could actually try to pull this off with a Hispanic... lots of pros for Dems to do this:
1) Latinos are now 17% of the US population (way more than black/asian voters), even outpacing whites in some areas
2) They could see this a door for some form of paving the way to immigration amnesty/reform, which would really get their asses in gear to go vote
3) Plays well against the Trump latino hate
Just don't know if there's any candidate they have at hand... Maybe that got Julian Castro... he's in his early 40s.... hmmm
How so? They can block the nomination by voting no. Keep in mind that the longest vacancy has been 27 months. The 391 day vacancy when Nixon was president is more applicable though. NIxon's first two nominations were rejected.
It would be awesome. Even though cruz is my choice for president, rubio would pick up most of the cruz voters and defeat trump.
Trump may get some of those, but he would cause a lot of republicans to vote third party.
Liberals don't consider black republicans to be black.
Ditto with Carson.
BS...Liberal just don't consider Carson and Thomas to be representatives of the general black community since they haven't been a part of the community for so long...
So what about Obama? He didn't grow up as part of the general black community. It wasn't until he finished college that he even mixed with it. Carson grew up very poor in Detroit. Thomas the same in Savannah. Their whole childhoods.
He was a community organizer for the black community of Chicago.....on top of a legal scholar.....it isn't a joke to say he could nominate himself for Alito's spot on the SCOTUS....I don't think it will happen....but if he really wanted to with the GOP he could nominate Hillary
I'm not sure if the latino vote is as important electorally though or for battleground states when it comes to the senate. What does it matter if they get more votes in Texas or California?
It matters on swing states like Nevada (25% of their population is latino, see the Latino Democrat running for Reid's job), Colorado (21% pop are Latino) and Florida...
If they nab those 3 states, especially Florida and Colorado, it will be pretty much over.
Republicans already turn out in higher numbers than Democrats generally, to my understanding. If that is the case, you get a lot of diminishing returns in terms of "get out the vote" efforts.
As the GOP gets older and simple mortality starts removing Republican voters faster than they are being replaced, sustaining turnout will get harder each cycle and require more and more effort.
Dude, you seem to be trying to do an awful lot of believing/thinking for me. You should stop that, because you keep getting it wrong.
I never assumed Davis was going to win.
Texas will not "turn blue", i.e. vote consistently for Democrats for another 12+ years or so. It will at the very least begin to turn compe ive for Democrats roughly 2020ish, four years away. We will know a LOT more this fall when we get some current data as to who shows up to vote at the polls.

Read a bit outside your normal information bubble. Use evidence and facts, as opposed to "truthiness", and your internal model of the world might get a bit closer to being accurate.
Trump is lying through his teeth to you, and he knows it.
He outlined his strategy already, and that strategy was predicated on "capturing the media cycle", i.e. saying the most outrageous possible to keep people talking about him.
Sad thing is, you seem to think Trump isn't lying and actually believes what he is saying.
You said it yourself: he isn't stupid.
He is just counting on you to be.
Don't let him get that right. You are better than that.

Trump has made himself even more unelectable than Cruz by virtue of his statements so far. Easy, easy, fodder for negative ads, made all the worse because they would be accurate.
All the Repugs count on their voters to be stupid.
And he's unique in this regard?
Hispanic. Obama will campaign to hoover up the black vote, but increasing hispanic turnout will be part of a Democratic strategy.
The optics of the Whitey Club senate Republicans beating up on someone with a Spanish surname will be an easy way to do that.
That makes "delay, delay, delay" yet another bullet in the foot for the GOP, IMO. It is like there is a target painted on their collective shoes.

Sanders will bump up white youth participation, even if he loses nomination. More whites voting, and voting Democratic.
Hispanic SCOTUS nominee being beaten up by Whitey Club bumps up hispanic participation, keep the % split the same.
DEMOCRATS
ELECTORAL VOTES: 358 ✔
POPULAR VOTE: 54.5%
REPUBLICANS
ELECTORAL VOTES: 180
POPULAR VOTE: 43.8%

All politicians do that to some extent. In that sense the answer is no.
BUT
To the extent he is being cynical about it, yes. It is pretty shockingly obvious how much he is doing just that, and the degree... wow.
