3. If Bernie Sanders wins, they WILL approve Obama's nominee in December.

Mark it down. Unless Obama goes completely against my expectations and nominates a total radical, they know they would be doomed if they don't approve Obama's pick, and then give Bernie a chance to nominate another pick instead of Obama. And they know Obama's pick will likely be less of a problem for them than Bernie's pick later.

They won't approve anyone before the election in hopes that a Republican congress and president are elected, but that doesn't seem too likely.

They will do that if they don't get too busy trying to get TPP passed then with Obama to sign it, as opposed to Bernie vetoing it in 2017.
