The republicans are in a tough spot. The conservatives are so pissed off at them for caving to Obama on all sort of things, if they cave on this they will all lose their jobs in the Senate and the next guy that rises through the party will make Trump and Cruz look like Richard Simmons. I know nothing about this guy, but if he's really a moderate and was replacing a moderate, it would be a lot easier for conservatives to swallow than replacing Scalia (who they love) with a moderate they will hate.
