McCain: ‘I Don’t Know’ If Trump’s SCOTUS Pick Will Be Much Better than Hillary’s
by Ken Meyer | 2:13 pm, October 17th, 2016

It would seem the John McCain‘s confidence in Donald Trump is so low, not even the very last reason to vote for the mogul is enough for him anymore.

During a Monday discussion on 1210 WPHT Philadelphia radio, the Arizona senator was asked if Trump was a “superior choice” to Hillary Clinton where nominating Antonin Scalia‘s replacement on the Supreme Court is concerned. For his response, the best that McCain could offer was “I don’t know, because I hear him saying a lot of different things.”

Trump supporters frequently argue that even if conservatives don’t like the mogul, they should vote for him anyway on the chance that he nominates a respectable choice to the vacant ninth seat on the court. On this subject, McCain also used his interview time to promise that “we will… be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton if she were president would put up.”

Truth hurts huh?

You Trump supporters are in for a harsh dose of reality here in a month.

And you'll only have yourselves to blame.

One is as liberal as the other, so McCain is correct. I'm not sure how McCain arrived at the right place, probably some circular and weird reasoning, but he got there.

I detest McCain more than I detest the Donald.  McCain is one of the reasons this country is in the crappy shape it is.  He has been in office far to long and is untrustworthy.  Quite frankly, I doubt his nominations would have any better than Obama's so I don't know who he is to talk.  In short MCain is a POS.

[Applewood]

I don't like McCain, but he's right on this matter,  IMHO.  This argument that we have to vote for Trump to ensure conservative justices will be nominated for SCOTUS is very thin.  Trump's famous list of potential nominees is not set in stone -- he said so.  And I don't know that anyone on that list is necessarily conservative. 

Conservatives have to stop pretending that Trump is a solid conservative.  He isn't.  He cannot be trusted to do anything even remotely conservative. He has already indicated support for liberal ideas such as stimulus and more recently, a student loan forgiveness program. If he is in favor of liberal ideas, why would anyone think he would appoint conservative judges?

Oceander has accused others of bigotry, something close to the race card,

Bearing false witness, is just as horrible as what he accuses Trump of, this is as unChristian as can be too. I hope his daughter knows this; talk about being self-righteous.  He has gloated about polls, I suggest he be ignored,

No criticisms about Clinton and 4 dead in Benghazi.

Now the Constitution is a worthless piece of paper, I thought we all deserved a day in court, no one has even brought Trump in.

Clinton has 15000 members in her troll army, we may be looking at some.

Poor Tom is so desperate to make those of us far more conservative than he Hillary trolls.

I wonder if he has a clue how dopey it makes him look??

OMG!  Shut up John McCain!   You are no longer serving your nation's interests.

Excuse me but I have a copyright on the term, "Zombie' when used during this political season.

I first used it on Free Republic, which somehow resulted in my banishment.

It is not to be used in reference to any group but trump supporters.  Therefore, I shall have to sue if you continue to use it in an inappropriate manner.

Maybe Trump knows where I can get a good lawyer.

[dfwgator]

Because the Bushes did such a great job with Souter and Judas Roberts.

Most people thought (at the time) that Roberts would be a good pick.  People like Ted Cruz would probably have known better but I didn't.

'They're gonna need a bigger boat.'  Actually, the trumpers who come onto the politics thread are pathetic.

The only substantive argument they have is that Hillary is worse.  I can kinda respect that argument although I do not agree with it.

But when they attempt to defend Trump, they start looking ridiculous.  He cannot be defended.

If they made cogent arguments and didn't repeat the idiocy that we're Hillary trolls, they might earn a modicum of respectability, but their pathetic taunting that we're liberals and want Hillary when we actually don't want Trump because we understand how dangerous Hillary is, just makes them look like idiots.

Apparently they don't mind........

So dopey that long ago I put him on "ignore".

[guitar4jesus]

The pitiful thing is, this was never meant to be the issue elections are decided on.  If the SCOTUS was not so eager to legislate, people would not be tempted to vote for a crazy man in hopes that he MIGHT nominate conservatives in hopes that the Senate MIGHT confirm him them hopes that they MIGHT actually judge as strict constructionists in hopes that the court majority MIGHT swing our way.

So much for "WE THE PEOPLE."

 

[libertybele]

As for McCain's opinion; his opinion doesn't mean squat to me anymore. He lost credibility long ago and that is why he lost my vote. He's proven to be a RINO and often sides with the DEMS.  As for the SCOTUS picks, Cruz was given a list of potential SCOTUS justices from Trump and from my understanding had Mike Lee added to that list. He was promised that justices would be appointed from that list.  Trump also referenced that list in the last debate and publicly himself stated that the justices would be picked from that list and those on the list would be in line with Scalia. Obviously there is no guarantee that Trump will follow through if elected, especially if we aren't able to hold the Senate, but in the same light we do absolutely know Hillary will tilt the scales with liberals. Knowing McCain and how he's voted in the past, he'd probably be the one more likely to vote with the DEMS and agree to a liberal justice...it depends on which way the wind is blowing that day with him.  My hunch right now is McCain has been part of the establishment for a very long time and doesn't like the thought of the potential shake up that could be coming his way. He'd rather have Hillary.  Where in the heck were you McCain when you had a chance to back a conservative?

I am in no way stating that Trump is conservative and it's difficult to extend him any credibility.  Hillary has absolutely zero credibility and McCain should have retired long ago and has voted along with the DEMS quite a few times.

REALLY good point, RAT!  If the SC weren't far more powerful than the Constitution intends to be (because of liberalism), then Trump supporters wouldn't have their single 'hope' that people will vote for a lunatic leftist like Trump for the sole reason that, as you said, he "MIGHT" nominate a conservative.

All I can say is, with the fact that he's a Democrat, FAT CHANCE of that happening!
