“everybody has an issue with somebody”

Yes, all four have problems.

I still favor Erick Erickson.

Why take a chance of establishment folks.

The gang cases are dubious. Gangsters don’t want to share their loot. Al Capone never pressured any young man to join his gang.

“AYUDA is a U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Hardiman donated his time/services to a charitable organization. THAT’S IT!”

Ayuda means help in Spanish.

Maybe Trump should call them all in to be seated in front of him while he announces the runner ups and then the winner, as they do on the Heisman Trophy award. What a hoot! Thank God we are not looking at Hillary’s 2nd pick to the court.

“Bad choice.
The first goal is to get a Justice who will rule in accordance with the Constitition.

Hardiman would not. “


This guy is a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment, as written and intended by the Founders - and anyone who can do that in a legal environment will likely analyze ALL issues on the same basis - AS WRITTEN AND INTENDED at that time.

GOA, which is far more hardline on the 2nd than the NRA, backs this guy. What’s not to like?

I don’t understand where you get your information.

As for Barrett, I will be pleased if she is the actual nominee...but she might better be saved for RBG’s position, as it’ll be a woman replacing a woman. Not that such will appease the so-called feminists, as they are FINOs, and in reality just Leftists masquerading as feminists. However, such a choice will resonate with many people outside of the Beltway.

Hardiman will be a VERY fine nominee, if he’s actually the one.

Kavanaugh scares me a bit on some immigration issues. Also that he’s DC.

Although selecting a SC nominee is not my area of expertise, so I’ll trust President Trump’s judgment.

Trump should go for the most conservative judge he can cause the RATS will,oppose whoever he names.

Except Murkowski and Collins won't oppose everyone he names, but they would Barrett.

In your scenario, Trump picks Barrett, Murkowski and Collins sink her, there's no time for another nominee before the midterms, Democrats win a Senate majority, we end up with Justice Merrick Garland. No thank you.

“If Ben Shapiro gives Hardiman a “D”, I should probably support him.”

Exactly. IMO, Shapiro gets an F minus.

OMG the Sky is Falling.

No matter who the pick is it will be attacked by some of the goofballs here.

This is getting tiresome.

"Maybe Trump will line them all up, and he'll hand a rose to the one he chooses."

Do to how the Antifaification of the DNC and their minions, my guess is a head fake of epic proportions is in process to protect the top candidates.

It wouldn't surprise me if limo's show up w/ S.-Service to take them all in, ya or nay if they are the chosen one to whisk them to the W.H., given the dangerous progs probably know where they all live.

I don't believe it is Hardiman to somewhere between 9:00:30 and 9:10:00 this evening, IMHO it maybe being held that close to their vest.

I was gonna say, if nevertrumper Been Sh@piro likes him, it’s a mark in his favor. Can’t see Mr. Trump appointing anybody who’s likely to go wobbly on bolshie-invasion-migration tho. Just can’t see it.
