Instead of the one he has to deal with now, loaded with Tea Party/Republican extremists and outright racist douchebags!

A news report of a poll I heard this afternoon on the radio said that nearly 70% of Independents want President Obama's Supreme Court nominee to get a hearing.
Of course, in that same poll, well over 90% of Democrats said that they also believe that President Obama's choice to be on the Supreme Court should at least have a hearing.

But, the surprise of that poll was . . . even 63% of Republican voters, a majority, want Obama's nominee to have a hearing.

We have reached the tipping point in this country.
We will either have a working federal government, or we will throw the bums who are ruining it for everyone else out the frickin' door!

Obama will look MUCH better in the history books if Sanders is elected president. It could be argued that he paved the way for him.
