I don't think we can judge any SCOTUS pick until they are seated and make some rulings. I thought Roberts was a good pick and he turns out to be probably the worst justice in my lifetime. No matter who is picked they will never fill Scalia's shoes... he is one of the 5 greatest justices of all time.
I'm not on board with Trump yet.... can't get there this way. As long as he runs from Conservatism and his antagonistic hoard of fanatical supporters continue to denigrate me and insult my intelligence... it's just not likely going to happen. I hate that... really, I do! I honestly and truly WANT to be able to vote for Trump. It's kind of pathetic because it wouldn't take a lot to get me on board. Just stop the slobbering all over liberals and repeating liberal memes left and right and start talking about sound Conservative principles again... you know, like when you first started out?
We're still a little over 5 months away from the election and there will still be some debates and opportunities for Trump to turn things around but I think he is doing irreparable damage right now. He continues to push more and more Conservatives OUT of the Big Tent and they won't be able to vote for him under ANY circumstance, including the threat of a Hillary presidency.
Understood but he went to conservatives and he got this list from them. That is certainly not pushing conservatives put, it is an attempt to bring them in. He will have to do more if he is to get the hold outs like you, I understand that.
Concider that the GOP has not put up a conservative since Reagan, so if you gauge Trump by the candidates since Reagan, it would be more fair. Trump is not a conservative, I'm not saying he is, but some of us concider the SCOTUS pick to be the most important thing this cycle. True, Roberts betrayed his duty but that is always a risk no matter who is doing the choosing.
