All were appointed by Republican presidents. Blackmun gave us Roe v Wade and the abortion holocaust.
You left out John Roberts, the Bush appointee that gave us Obamacare

yeah. there are parallels to Ross Perot for sure. not that Trump has a personal grudge against another candidate (as was the case with that mad hatter TX billionaire), but that Trump could siphon off enough votes as a 3rd party candidate to make the general election a cakewalk for The Wicked
Witch Bitch. there is a lack of rational analysis right now amongst Trump supporters. his biggest asset seems to be that he's an outsider. except of course, he's not. no multi-billionaires are outsiders. these people are sought out by politicians for their money and they are all involved in back room deals and influence peddling. Trump would be a disaster for the GOP as their candidate, and as a 3rd party candidate as well. but he serves a useful purpose IN THE PRIMARIES. general elections tend to be about trivial media created issues (i.e. Stephanopoulos' false narrative about the War on Women). to the extent Trump can force the rest of the cowards in the GOP field to talk about real issues like the importation of vast numbers of poor, criminal, and illiterate 3rd worlders to prop up the 'RAT voter rolls, he serves a valuable purpose.
but ultimately i'm afraid that the fix is in. The Bitch vs JEB in 2016. a contest where everyone loses no matter the outcome.

I’ve wondered if the man should roll into the Baltimores of the country and explain to them how to pick up a duplex - CHEAP, fix it up and sell it!

The GOP represents the employers of illegal aliens. No one represents the citizens. Trump stepped into that vacuum. Exactly. Nobody but Trump seems to be willing to go against the wishes of big GOP donors. Trump is able, because he doesn't need the donors.
So Trump is free to say all the things which the majority of Republicans want their candidate to say, but which the donors forbid. This gives him a big advantage.

Yep, so angry they elected Hussein- TWICE. Trump is laughable.2012 voter turnout: "Voter turnout dipped from 62.3 percent of eligible citizens voting in 2008 to an estimated 57.5 in 2012. That figure was also below the 60.4 level of the 2004 election but higher than the 54.2 percent turnout in the 2000 election."
Meanwhile, 2014 voter turnout "was the lowest it's been in any election cycle since World War II ...Just 36.4 percent of the voting-eligible population cast ballots"
Obama won because lots of Republicans were not enthused enough to go to the polls, while HIS supporters WERE enthused. Repubs won in 2014, because Obama supporters weren't interested enough to show up, while Repub voters were.
2016 will entirely revolve around which side gets their people enthused enough to show up.

Outside of the feminist movement, Hillary has “0” Gravitas”. I expect a low voter turn out this time around.

Yep, so angry they elected Hussein- TWICE. That was before Trump gave voice to the Silent majority's concerns.
Trump is laughable.
He may be, but at this early date, we ought to unite behind him until Jeb is gone. Then we can squabble to our hearts content as to who should be the nominee.

Trump stepped into that vacuum. Your post #3 tells me you should write for an online website.
Clear, concise, and right ON POINT.

I don’t believe GOP voters are suicidally stupid and would hold their noses for ¡Yeb! in a three way race.
Hillary and ¡Yeb! are both unpopular.
Trump wins a three way race.

Very unlikely.
Gravy seeking Dems will produce 40% no matter what.
Hillary wins (just like Bill!) with 370 electoral votes.

An exception. Guess who a Democratic president elected in 2016 might nominate to the Supreme Court? Probably Obama.
To: CMB_polarization
What makes you think a Republican (Bush) wouldn’t appoint Obama?
