Too many hate him and his lack of substance will cap his populist support. He will lock the GOP nom okay but the general is a different world.

What Are Trump's Chances of Winning the Presidency?
The probability that Donald Trump will become president is tracked by several websites. For example, CNN has published an interactive prediction page that allows users to vote on what they think the outcome of the presidential election will be (along with many other events). The "wisdom of the crowd" predicts Trump only has a 22% chance of winning in November, perhaps because his extreme views on immigration, race and gender would alienate many voters in the general election without mobilizing a sufficient support base to beat a Democratic candidate. OddsChecker's odds are slightly better at 3/1. The site's odds that Clinton will win are 5/11.

Do you think it's because Hil's legal problems re: email are going to explode?
If Hillary is elected, they just might reconsider.....

No, I think it's because she probably won't inspire the voters the way Obama did.

The GOP should confirm this guy. He's qualified, and pretty moderate.
I'd give Hillary at minimum 80% odds of winning. It could be much worse for them. It could be much worse for them even if Trump did manage to win.
I get that it's challenging for them to see Obama replace Scalia, but that's how it goes. There is nothing in the constitution about replacing conservatives w/ conservatives and liberals w/ liberals.

President Obama tried to tap a moderate to fill the seat of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, but he ended up picking a fight with powerful Second Amendment groups that say Judge Merrick Garland has shown antipathy toward gun rights.
In one 2000 case, Judge Garland, who sits on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, upheld a Clinton administration effort to store gun-buyers’ records.
Later in the decade, he joined other judges in a failed bid to reconsider the landmark case that would eventually establish the Second Amendment’s protection of a personal right to bear arms.

The piece says that some righties have 'concluded' that Judge Garland is anti-gun, based on their perspective on his actions.
Is there any evidence that Judge Garland is anti-gun?

If Hillary wins, the President might pull him. Or the Senate, which if HRC wins, will likely have a majority Democrats might just wait for her pick.

Bill?

A moderate is a move to the left, isn't it.
No, not Bill. He does not want the job. He is too old. He would be bored with the minutia, the Senate would not confirm him, HRC wants his help with the Administration, she would suffer claims of nepotism, HE would have to recuse himself from anything having to do with her administration.
