Assume nomination and confirmation are guaranteed.
Obama comes to your candidate (Either Clinton or Sanders) and offers to put him or her on the Supreme Court. As a supporter, do you want him or her to take the offer to guarantee his or her voice is a pivotal part of defining our rights for the remainder of his or her life, or do you want him or her to stay and fight it out in an uncertain election? Keep in mind, if you decide your candidate should go on the Supreme Court, it guarantees the nomination for the other candidate.
Again, super silly, but we all need a little break from the antagonising each other once in awhile

As tempting as it is to accept, I'd want Clinton to continue her run.

At this point it is much too early for either candidate to give up. Plus, I honestly don't see either one as a good potential Supreme Court Justice. And, I'd vastly rather my candidate become President.
