We can "what if" until we are blue in the face. The fact is a vacancy came up on the Supreme Court, the President put forth a nominee and the opposition party refused to even hold hearings and discuss it.
As an aside, during G.W. Bush's presidency, he nominated two different Supreme Court justices. Roberts got 78 votes while the Republicans only held a 51-48 majority in the Senate. Alito got 58 votes while the Republicans held a 55-44 majority. So Democrats have voted to confirm Conservative nominees in the very recent past.
