She would endure those attacks for months on errand without being able to defend herself, and thirdly and finally, perhaps most importantly, if I win, I'll make my choice for the Supreme Court not based on a partisan election campaign, but on what prior presidents have done ... only after consulting Democrats and Republicans in the United States Senate and seeking their advice and asking for their consent."
Holy shit! That answer actually involved rubbing two brain cells together to form a cogent thought. How refreshing.
