I on the other hand, would let the nomination languish but that may not be the best strategy. I wouldn't care if they voted on him as long as it was assured he wouldn't be approved. That would be risky though.
You mean they should Bork him?

Your comment prompted me to do a quick Google search. Found some interesting reading. Also note some of the players back then are still around. Regenerates my desire and enthusiasm for term limits.

Oh...not even. They are doubling down in fact by trying to steal the nomination from Trump and install a Ryan/Kasich ticket. And I am most decidedly NOT a Trump voter, I just hate subversion of the will of the voters.
