However . . . We all know every politician running is going to violate all these rights, at least Trump is honest with you, he's telling you up front he is going to do it ahead of time.Ok, let's accept the premise that our presidents have violated the Bill of Rights at one time or another. Is that a reason to elect a person who proposes it before he is even elected, a person who proposes violating the oath of office? Your logic is that of most convicted criminals, since others have done it's ok for me to do it.I haven't heard of any of Hillary's proposals that would violate the 1st , 5th, and 14 amendment of the constitution. If Republicans weren't so intent on nominating someone who will split the party and energize Democrats around a candidate that's yesterdays news, they just might have a chance to win the election. However, Republicans seem to make a habit of shooting themselves in the foot when it comes time to nominate a presidental candidate.Maybe Hillary started loaning him her focus groups. She determines where she stands on issues and changes stances much the same way. One day gay marriage is loathsome, the next it is just. Fist she helps negotiate the TPP, then she repudiates it b/c her people don' t like it. Etc.What Trump says is always subject to change. For example, he committed himself to supporting the Republican nominee. Then later he added, "if I'm treated fairly. On his ban of Muslims entering the country, it was all Muslims. Then Muslim athletes were excluded, then US citizens and diplomats. Then he says the ban applies to all Muslim. This is all typically Trump. It's right out his playbook. Keep the opposition off guard by continually changing your stance. If you look at any of his issues, he's like a boxer jumping back and forth defining and redefining himself.
Hell, maybe we can rid ourselves of both of them if they run on the same ticket. I'm having a hard time deciding which is the more absurd candidate.
What does the Bill of Rights matter anymore? Federal statists in both parties don't give a shit about it, why should Trump be any different? Do you think Bernie, Hillary or any of the other potential Republican nominees is any different?
Bush and Obama have already shredded it. So what is your point? The NDAA and the Patriot Act have already made a mockery of it.
I'm not voting for him, are you suggesting the you should?
