Donald Trump is Already Walking Back His Supreme Court List

By Erick Erickson  |  May 19, 2016, 09:56am

 
Every single thing Donald Trump says, everything, comes with an expiration date. Usually that expiration date comes in the next clause of the same sentence. Sometimes it comes at the end of the day.

Yesterday afternoon, Trump released a list of conservatives he intended to put on the Supreme Court. Then his campaign clarified that it was only for Antonin Scalia’s seat. By last night? Trump says he may have someone else in mind.

Trump is the Cinderella candidate. At midnight, all that glitters turns to smashed pumpkins and mice.

How anyone can support Donald Trump for any elected office is beyond my comprehension!

It means his team is disjointed.   Some one made the list.  It was released, and now some other advisor is trying to change it.   Internal politics and his campaign can't even manage that.  How the heck is he going to manage real world politics?   He's not... it will be a yuge disaster.....

I  actually listened to that portion of Hannity's infomercial for Trump. when Trump read off the list, he sounded like he was reading the names for the first time.

He probably was. He has minions to do all his work for him.

When you consider the alternative, he looks quite good.

It is a campaign that tries to be all things to all people.

I see real alternative in Darrell Castle, Constitution Party.

It also means that Donald Trump has been completely checked out of following simple government civics his entire life and is only now discovering the branches of government.  For a man his age to be ignorant of the title of Senate Majority Leader, it should disqualify him as a serious Presidential option in the minds of anyone paying attention.

Incompetence vs. self-serving competence?  Which is the one you consider looking quite good?

I do not doubt that for a second.

Castle is a good guy, but he won't win 1% of the vote.  This is a binary election in reality.

No, not even close.  Hillary is effectively guilty of murder.  She allowed our ambassador and several other Americans to be sodomized, killed and tortured.  She then blamed anything other than Islamic terrorism for their fate.  Trump may be guilty of a lot of things, but Trump is not guilty of murder.

Well...all the more reason to push him, so he can get more. if everyone that is anti Trum or anti Hillary went for Castle, he'd get a lot of votes. When it gets thrown into the House for a lack of 270 Electoral College votes, Ryan will have an alternative to Trump.

When you look at the polls, the ONLY one over 50% is Bernie.

I saw an amazing poll last night, it had both Trump beating HIllary, and Gary Johnson up to double digits.

Gary Johnson is looking like an increasingly attractive choice. I just cannot get over my doubts about Trump and Trump isn't helping.
