Donald Trump is not a conservative. He has strong points however that Comrade Grandma will never match and will ever try to match. Support for 2nd Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms; support for veterans and their benefits and care; enforcement of immigration laws and borders; restoring American industrial jobs; restoring the American military (the army has never had fewer personnel since 1940 despite collossal Obozo spending sprees on everything else); and end to federal jackboots imposing political correctness; a kick in the teeth to the lifestyle leftists we despise.
If I had been asked this poll question, I would have said I did not trust him on SCOTUS (and federal judicial nominations) although his recent hiring of a reliable and experienced adviser on pro-life issues is re-assuring, but the question is not designed to elicit the whole story. I absolutely trust Comrade Grandma to appoint anti-American, baby-killing, marriage destroying, lifestyle fascist social barbarians/totalitarians to the SCOTUS wo will also be dedicated to eradicating freedom of speech for Grandmas opponents, ending genuine free enterprise, upholding any and all taxation and regulation schemes that Comrade Grandma's commissars can dream up, let the IRS run wild, shut down whatever there is of an American energy industry, etc., etc., etc. ad infinitum ad nauseam.
The better question would have been: Who do you trust more on SCOTUS nominations: Donald J. Trump or Hillary Rodham Clinton? Trump obviously. p> If the pollster had been inclined to load the question in a rightward direction, the pollster might have asked (pick your own favorite issue): In light of Supreme Court decisions in recent years as to (fill in the blank as many times as you like), whom do you trust more on SCOTUS nominations: Donald J. Trump or Hillary Rodham Clinton? Trump even more obviously.
Good points, BlackElk.
I wonder why it is that Democrats can always be sure they’re voting for a good, solid Marxist, while we have no idea what to expect from our candidate if he’s elected.
FRiend, you are aiming your fire in the wrong direct. It is not Trumpers who are posting divisive garbage about another candidate. Trumpers are ready to let bygones be bygones after a hard fought primary. Unfortunately, Ted Cruz and many of his supporters have shown they are not willing to let he primary end and persist in disparaging Trump. So my advice to you is to take this issue up with them.
