ILoveCats:
I know this is literally taken straight from a House of Cards storyline, but here's how I see it going... 

(1) Cruz filibusters any Obama nominees as he has promised, taking some heat off of Mitch and any Senators in close elections this fall.

(2) Cruz continues to get beat by Trump (we'll see how the SC primary goes but it's looking that way.)

(3) Cruz drops out and endorses Trump; in return...

(4) Trump nominates Cruz for SCOTUS

(5) "It's morning in America again."

This is like one of the worst case scenarios come true...

However...

McConnell had started backpedaling in regards to blocking the nominee, however now it seems he is digging in his heels. McConnell said that the Senate will withhold its consent to Obama's nominee.
