Trump makes his own decisions, but he is smart enough to listen to the right advisors first, as this list demonstrates.

I think we can trust Trump.

Who cares whether they approved having their names on this list? This is a list that Trump put together of people that he would consider nominating for the Supreme Court. None of these people are obligated to accept such a nomination. Although, I simply cannot imagine that someone who is already a high-ranking judge would be opposed to the idea of being nominated to the Supreme Court. That is, after all, the pinnacle of the legal profession.

Cruz never lies. Cruz said Trump would appoint liberal judges. What happened?

Lyin Ted also said that Trump won’t get to 1237 delegates, and that everybody knows this.

Not the way to endear Cruzers to vote for Trump. Just saying....


Wait, so your decision on whether or not to vote for Trump is based on commentary by Freepers on an internet forum?

> Betcha Levin ignores this list and finds something else to whine about.

I don’t know if I will be able to hold my nose and plug my ears hard enough to find out.

Joe Sixpack does not think about individual SC justices. Conservative political nerds do. Therefore: talk populist, sometimes even liberal; appoint constitutionalist judges. Good move.

No. Cruz made Trump’s liberal SC picks a certainty, over and over, even after Trump had named two during an early debate, the only candidate to name a potential justice among the candidates. No, Cruz continued this lie right through to the end. I won’t forget that


My guess is Trump, just like Cruz, said a few things only in an attempt to win the nomination.

Trump called Cruz “one helluva a competitor”, when Cruz suspended his campaign.

Since Cruz is one of the most conservative US senators that we have, I would think most people here would quit attacking Cruz since the primary season is effectively over.

On the loading dock where Trump talks this is called “putting the turd in Clinton’s pocket.” Brilliant move and except for Texas they all come from winnable Blue States.

Hopefully not. I would buy him a case of water filters to keep that from happening.

THAT DOESNT MEAN IT WON’T STILL BE A FREAKING DISASTER!

Given your posting history, it's obvious to anyone who looks, that that is exactly what you are wishing for.

Wasn't Diane Skykes married to the NeverTrump guy Charlie? We really need to look into these people.
