re: #115 Nyet

it’s unlikely that Bernie would nominate someone of his judicial philosophy were he in the Oval Office. This statement by Bernie, therefore, is prima facie evidence of his ability to compromise when it’s called for, and of his keen political instincts around Congressional machinations.

I am not so sure that this is evidence that Sanders could compromise. The statement also included “it’s unlikely that Bernie would nominate someone of his judicial philosophy were he in the Oval Office”. If Sanders were President today, with the Congress we have, in the political environment we have now, would he nominate someone more to the left than Garland? Would that play? Doubt it.
