Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» The more articulate Trump supporters say their focus is on SCOTUS nominations. It worries them. Blowing up the world? Not so much! Why?
Do they know who he will appoint? They might face a real debacle here. He has shown previously, still does that he will do as it pleases himself and not as the GOP establishment expect it from him. A failure doesn't become less because you turn your blind eye on it. Trump is a failure as GOP nominee. Guess GOP was busy registering voters that they did not check up if they were real Republicans or not. Now they have a party where majority are not classical Republicans. Now they have a party that is out of their own control.
He allegedly provided them with a list of possible appointees a few months ago SH. If that list was ever made public I didn't see it but I can imagine the folks who are on it. Now here's the rub. If the Dems win back the Senate majority and Trump becomes prez what makes Republicans think Trump will have any better luck getting a SCOTUS nominee consented to than Obama has had with a Republican-Majority Senate? They only thnk short-term. They have zero ability to think in the long-term. On every level it is so frustrating to deal with these folks. Living as they do in an alternate universe is what makes them unreachable. Thank you for your reply! :)
He said a lot that turns out not being what he "meant", and there will be "reasons" why he won't keep his word. Haven't you already noticed? I don't trust him more than a used car sales man.
Fair enough. He could go against his word and pick a Liberal judge. But he says he won't. So I have a chance at a Strict Constitutionalist judge with him. Now I know I have ZERO chance of that with Clinton. So why would I vote for a ZERO chance of getting what I want.
There will be lots of reasons but they demand one really listening and sincerely think the scenariOS through. We already covered that part. You made up your mind, no matter what Trump or Clinton they do. It's your choice.
We have already determined that I agree generally with the R platform and when I don't I am agreeing with Trump....how is that NOT policy? Again if you want to say we don't know for sure where Trump is on issues we only have his words right now. That is true but I know where Hillary is and we have history there and I don't agree with it so why would I vote for that?
Trump isn't the R platform. Remember? But hey! It doesn't matter. You have your reasons, they won't be about policies though. They will be about one amendment only, and maybe also some judges turning back progresses made within abortions and the gay rights. Anyway, who cares about the first amendment, right? Trump will make sure to close the mouth of the press, among others. Congrats, if he succeeds. It will be a loss for the free world and freedom of speech. But at least you got to keep your weapons and bullets. Btw, did you ever really look into what the regulations of weapons are? I doubt it.

You listed a whole 6 things that Trump differs from the R platform and several of those were questionable. Abortion--pro-life with exceptions (minor difference) will defund PP (no difference), he said he would repeal Obama order on bathrooms (no difference) , the other were things that the establishment sold out main street Republicans (immigration, free trade agreements, reining in Banks) And he does not want to cut SS---ohh that is so bad. I don't consider abortion---progress...I believe in all of the amendments. My guns and ammmo are legal.
We had that discussion. You want Trump, vote him. You will see how much of thrush he holds. You want Trump, vote him. Won't make him anymore Republican though. He never was, he never will be. When did he turn the Christian way? Oh yes, after being beaten good in the first primary election in the south. He is a professional sales man and will tell you all you want to hear as long you end up buying his fake education, sorry his underfunded real estate, sorry his... You name them. And no, the amendments, except the second cannot be your concern. Stay with your choice, your a Trump supporter and the man is qualified to represent the United States of America in every sense, also internationally, not only with old friends (for as long as they stay friends). Stick to it, but don't talk about you support the Republican platform and the values. They aren't represented with Trump. Never were, never will be.
So I am not a Republican? That is news to me. (I am in agreement with Trump so if he is not a Republican I cannot be either) I don't care if he is a Christian or not...he has always promised to support Religious Freedom (Hey isn't that part of the 1st amendment?) If he is just a salesman then he will be a one term President.
Lemme ask you about "policy".. Trumps SIGNATURE policy is to deport all 11 million people illegally here. Then he CHANGED it. To WHAT, I don't know.. You don't either.. Nobody KNOWS what Trump will do with these people..
You're welcome. What I don't get is that some people still haven't seen through him. He is caught in one lie after another, he has broken promise after promise, he has changed his minds so many times and always to have more traditional Republican voters swinging his way. I don't get how they cannot see he is lying them up in their open faces and gives a darn about not keeping his promises. He has lied and broken promises so many times he doesn't even notice it himself anymore. A lot of his business partners in the past can tell the story. Smh.
His supporters don't care what he says/does. He is their guy. They HATE Hillary with a passion so even though Trump is the Devil Incarnate in my eyes. they prefer the Devil to Hillary. Now how do you reason with people like that? You don't. You just accept what they say/do because they cannot help themselves. They don't want to help themselves. They are not interested in helping themselves. A hard truth to accept but there it is. Thank you for your reply SH! :)
Today is the DAY OF RECKONING SH! It has finally arrived . We shall see now how it all plays out. Good luck to all of us! Thank you for your comment and Happy Election Day Tuesday 2016 m'dear! :)
Anxious but with hopes. A lot of trash and obstacles have been thrown into an ugly Election year. It hasn't been about policy of the candidates but about who shouts the loudest. How can you discuss politics with someone who denies telling his policy, who doesn't care about the democracy, or history of the country he claims he want making great again. One who gives a little notice of what his responsibilities are as a responsible candidate. We saw how he eliminated his competition within his "own" party by these tactics. Late did they discover they couldn't argue or discuss politics with him. Late did they find out he had to be beaten with other means. Late did they realize making fun of his hand size wouldn't be enough. Hillary and her campaign has not made that mistake. They have tried to beat him on every level, even the less polite. Seems being the only way stopping someone who gives a rats hat on what is fact and what is a lie. Especially as his core audience, whereof some are represented inside this thread gives a rats hat in what's fact and what's a lie as long as it's harming Hillary. I wish all of us a Happy Election Day Tuesday 2016. If I were a Christian believing in a God I would pray to him BUT there are only the American voters to pray to. Let the results get in soon and I hope everyone will show decency after the results are clear, preventing even bigger harm to the American people afterwards.
HI EXCON keep in mind that the Republicans see the problems also with Trump but Hillary will cause harm by appointing Justices which will do harm long term with Liberalism.
It's true... A liberal Supreme Court won't take a women's right to choose away, and they'll keep gay marriage.. A Trump Supreme court would do the opposite.. There's more. A lot more.. But, those are the two biggies.
