No offense, Catherine. but I doubt there is anything he could do or say that would effect your position. I wish there was a way to persuade folks like yourself, as I think we'll need every conservative to actively vote in this election or we're going to get 3-4 Hillary Court appointments...which will shape our legal future for the next 40+ years. There's no coming back from that...if she gets those appointments, there really is no hope. So every election matters, but this one is truly that once in a generation vote that shapes the courts...and so the country...for a half century.
I respect your opposition, but I do regret that it is so. I fear that we are all going to pay a heavy price.
No offense taken, Mesaclone.
Just the other day here, the question was, "What would it take to convince you to vote for Trump?" My answer was that he would have to morph into another person entirely. I've had a year to come to understand what kind of person he is, and he is repellent to me.
I don't think there's a chance that Trump will appoint anyone to the Supreme Court who's even close to conservative. He hasn't a clue about the Constitution or liberty or small government. When he read off that list of possible nominees, it was obvious someone had composed it for him and that was the first time he was seeing the names. The man thinks that Supreme Court justices sign bills...does anyone believe he's going to get down and fight for a Constitutional conservative appointee? Why? He's seventy years old and supposedly ditched a lifetime of liberalism to become "conservative" just in time to run for president. He has not one single accomplishment for the cause of Constitutionalism under his belt. So when people tell me well, but he's going to fight for it on the Supreme Court, I shake my head in amazement.
Hillary is bad, yes. Very bad. But I believe we've built her up into our minds to the point that we believe no one could be AS bad. That's getting into territory where people vote out of sheer panic, and I'm not going to do that.
In the end, the blame for the train wreck heading our way won't fall to people who refuse to sell their souls for Donald Trump. We didn't choose him; in fact, we spend our time warning his supporters that we would never give our support to such an individual.
The warnings were disregarded and the Trump fans got what they wanted. They're going to get what they bought and paid for, and the fault will be their own.
