It remains important to continue to point out that Donald Trump's election as President is almost certainly the result of luck - the fortunately-timed death of Antonin Scalia. So many conservatives were exhausted and repelled by Trump's personality and temperament, and his lack of an ideological track record, that they were ready to abandon the GOP nominee. But what brought them back to the fold was Trump's singular promise to replace Scalia with a similar Constitutionalist conservative.
As much as conservatives bicker amongst themselves - this board being a prime example - the one, perhaps the only, issue on which it appears that everyone here agrees is the need to appoint more judges in the mold of Scalia.
It is interesting to see that Scalia himself wasn't one of those conservatives repelled by Trump the man.
