    He has literally dozens of fans.

    Ted Cruz @tedcruz
    Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.

    Rick Klein @rickklein
    McConnell goes there: "this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President."

    Can you imagine a Democrat president, House, Senate and liberal Supreme Court? That would be amazing, and hilarious.

    There are two options.

    His dad believes Ted Cruz is one of the chosen few destined to inherit the government, so that kind of warps your worldview too.

    I'm pretty sure you just unplug it.

    If Ted Cruz was president, he'd shut down the white house because he didn't like the budget report.

    If he sat on this, he'd let Trump cruise right into the nomination. Which I guess is his plan? I don't know. I keep hearing Cruz is an evil genius but he acts like a fucking idiot.

    It would be as bad as shutting down the government, so I guess Ted Cruz wants to play that game of chicken.

    Good thing nobody listens to Cruz.

    Donald Trump actually has a fairly decent pick if he could appoint somebody.

    Luckily a lot of them are too stupid to realize pushing this issue far longer than it needs to be would be on the level of the Clinton impeachment or shutting down the government.

    Republicans know they can't fight this one. McConnell might be really obnoxious, but, he knows it's political suicide to filibuster an appointment.

    I love how everything keeps conspiring to make 2016 the most insane election ever.

    Trump would just nominate his daughter anyway.

    Ted Cruz reminds me of the sad clown joke from Scrubs. Even when he smiles, he just looks so upset. Somebody elsewhere described it as "I like spaghetti, but I didn't order it. :("

    He wrapped himself up tightly in the Tea Party anti Obama blanket and his supporters just ate every second of it up. They don't care about how his face looks, because he's one of them. Same thing with Mitch McConnell and his turtle face.
