Unmitigated disaster.

Unmitigated disaster.

Perhaps, but not necessarily. It is possible that the President might have to pick moderate-conservative, in order to get him confirmed. The key question is can McConnell push the replacement through before the end of the year. If not, then if the Dems take over the Senate in November, things would really get tough.....
