Nightmare builds for Senate GOP

Nightmare builds for Senate GOP-thehill: It’s a bad time to be a Senate Republican. Justice Antonin Scalia’s death has put Supreme Court politics at the top of the Senate agenda — to the detriment of vulnerable Republican senators running for reelection in blue states.  Donald Trump has coasted to big victories in the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, strengthening his position as the pole-setter in the ­Republican presidential race.  It’s a nightmare scenario for GOP senators clinging to their majority.
