No presidential candidate can be an expert on everything, but the intelligent ones know enough to hire advisers. He should have had a statement ready on Kim Davis BEFORE his press conference yesterday, but he seems to think a promise to build a wall will be enough.

One of the things being exposed by Kim Davis’ courage in Kentucky is that Donald Trump IS Jeb Bush, on the most important matters of natural law and the proper constitutional functioning of our republican form of government.

"I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that
if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

He was meeting with RNC when all of this went down, so how would he have had time to meet with an advisor over this???

He’s talked with Jeff Sessions on illegal immigration and Steve Forbes and Art Laffer on taxes. Pretty good start. I’m sure he’ll come out with something more definitive on this.
IF this is your #1 issue, then I guess it’s a problem. Mine is illegals, always has been. Trump is still my choice- he’s way ahead of the others on this, even Cruz.
