The sister wives thing is funny. AC did/does have an unexplainable thing for Mitt Romney.

That said, I think Trump would be an OK president. I would trust Cruz way more on a few issues, particularly the appointment of judges, however, I don’t think Cruz has as good a chance in the general election.

The head-to-head polls with Hillary and Bernie tell a different story from what I’ve seen.

I agree, but I’m assuming that when Trump clinches this, we are all going to be one happy family. He is going to bring in the GOPe to help him win big, with big coat tails. It would be foolish for Bush and the rest to string this out until the convention, like they did against REagan.

I think these people will hold him to the fire regarding SCOTUS picks. Remember when Bush picked that female attorney friend of his?

Trump says his idea of SCOTUS would be someone like Clarence Thomas and Alito.

I’ve also given this a bit of thought. If the Donald is to reform immigration by, among other things, eliminating anchor babies, he’s going to need judges who will look closely at the 14th Amendment and its provision that citizenship is granted to persons born in the US to parents who are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the US. “Jurisdiction” as used in that context appears to refer to both physical jurisdiction and allegiance jurisdiction, allegiance jurisdiction being the idea that the child’s parents must legally owe their allegiance to the US and not another country. The only judge who’s likely to accept that interpretation of the 14th Amendment is a person who’s very strong on originalist construction. Thus, I think the Donald will appoint conservative judges and justices if he wants to enact his immigration program.
