Hillary Clinton made a statement today on the news that President Obama is considering Republican Governor Brian Sandoval of Nevada for the Supreme Court, saying she hopes Obama “chooses a true progressive who will stand up for the values and interests of the people of this country.”

Wow. We’re so old that we remember when it was racist to oppose Obama’s SCOTUS pick. You know, like it was yesterday:
Is GOP blocking Obama #SCOTUS nominee 'racist'? https://t.co/s9ILT4DHtk – @JCNSeverino & @MichaelEDyson on #TheLead

Many think the leak of Sandoval’s name was pure theater designed to allow Democrats to say that Senate Republicans won’t even consider a fellow Republican for the seat. Which is just what Harry Reid said yesterday:
Reid on Sandoval: “I am sorry the Republicans are treating even one of their own that way." https://t.co/9QxDX4oW7e

Yep. It’s just a “game” to Obama:
As I said yesterday, the Sandoval rumour is a game. https://t.co/HPXzDC2qC0

Obama will never nominate Sandoval, and force Clinton/Sanders to defend him to liberal voters. This is purely to score points, as usual.
