McConnell rules out confirming Garland in lame duck

[i4indyguy]

I have thought from the beginning (may not have posted my thoughts here) that this stance is likely to result in an enormous strategic and tactical defeat for the republican party and the conservative movement.  And yet I see very little personal incentive for Sen McConnell to take anything but the position articulated. This seems to be a classic 'there's gunna be some blood shed.   As long as none of it ends up on me....' position.
