That is a non-sequitur. The fact that Trump said his extremely Liberal sister was a great judge, and that he would appoint more like her, has nothing to do with the fact that Roberts appeared to be a constitutional conservative when his nomination was being considered.
It's not a trade. You don't justify one bad thing by saying someone else did something wrong as well.
And that's assuming that Cruz did something wrong, which I don't believe anyways. We were all fooled by Roberts, not just Cruz.
“And that’s assuming that Cruz did something wrong, which I don’t believe anyways. We were all fooled by Roberts, not just Cruz.”
So what will be your excuse when some other Cruz picks act just like him? Say that he was “tricked” too? That isnt an excuse.
And this idea that “everyone” was fooled is a complete myth. I even remember Ann Coulter specifically saying that no one knows anything about this guy when he was nominated, and many of the comments on FR was about how he needed to be confirmed because how cute his kids were more than anyone really caring about his record.
