The last and greatest hope for Trump boosters to convince #NeverTrump folks is to hold the specter of Supreme Court nominations over their head. The reasoning goes as follows: we already know/assume Trump will fill the vacancy filled by the death of the great Antonin Scalia, and there’s a good possibility that he will get one or two more.

The alleged pragmatist who is making this argument will then inevitably move on to say, sure, we don’t really know what Trump will do on judges, but we know there is zero percent that Hillary will nominate a conservative, and who knows? Maybe Trump will nominate someone who’s on our side by accident. Besides, we have this list that Trump has put out that shows that his head is on at least sort of right on judges.

When dealing with a man who lies as habitually as Trump, whenever his stated positions conflict with his actual behavior, you should always ignore his stated positions. As Walter Olsen has illustrated, Trump’s behavior towards Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whose only sin has been to rule against Trump and his lawyers, indicates that he doesn’t believe in any judge who would ever rule against what he, as President, wants to do. In other words, he doesn’t believe in a conservative judiciary at all.

Thanks for the post.  That's it in a nutshell; Trump and his lawyers, indicates that he doesn’t believe in any judge who would ever rule against what he, as President, wants to do. In other words, he doesn’t believe in a conservative judiciary at all.   He is very narcissistic and he is only going to do what is in the best interest of Trump.  If he feels a conservative justice won't serve his purpose he certainly won't appoint anyone whom he feels would stand in his way. 

Secondly, Trump can surround himself with fantastic, knowledgeable people.  Someone seeking the office of president should at least have a basic understanding of what the executive branch does and its limitations as well as the function of the judicial and legislative branches of government.  Trump doesn't have a clue.

Most importantly, there is no indication that Trump knows anything about the Constitution nor would honor the rule of law if it didn't suit him.

All bets are off with Trump.  Stop believing all the bullshit put out by him and his surrogates.  He changes his mind on a dime and turns on anybody who disagrees with him.

He's a head case and should not be anywhere near the White House.  And it's clear he's wanting to destroy what's left of his campaign.

I'd argue that being a part of an organization whose name includes "the race" is a sin of the "original" variety.  In case you're wondering, La Raza is NOT referring to the human race, but to a specific ethnic group (was Mexican-American at one time, but they've widened it to include all Hispanics). 

Now, whether the judge's rulings are fair, meh, maybe or maybe not.  Trump University is an albatross around Trump's neck, and he's using the judge's membership in a racialist organization to deflect attention from the case.  We already know Trump is the master of deflection.

Unless you comprehend that he is a wrecking ball intended to destroy Conservatism from the national stage and then self-destruct his campaign so Hildabeast's coronation looks *legit*.

We did suffer a velvet coup that everyone is pretending didn't happen.
