A Rising GOP Star’s Dilemma: Should She Back Trump?
http://www.wsj.com ^ | April 15, 2016 | Beth Reinhard

Posted on 04/17/2016 9:03:54 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

Most anywhere Nicole Malliotakis goes, she gets the question—in the Staten Island senior center, on the streets of Brooklyn, at her parents’ kitchen table. Why aren’t you supporting Donald Trump? Earlier this year, Ms. Malliotakis, a 35-year-old New York assemblywoman, was her state’s leading backer of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. She openly criticized Mr. Trump’s rhetoric against women and Muslims and his past donations to Democrats. In tweets she added: “#NEVERTRUMP.”

>> I prefer RINOs to be generic like Peter King or Rep Donovan (Staten Island)

God Bless Staten Island.

Notwithstanding the NE’s pathetic alliance to the Democrat Party, Staten Island is fighting the good fight.

>And how often do judges get impeached for failing to follow the Constitution ?

If the country is to ever get back on track. political judges must be be impeached and prosecuted on a regular basis in order to return the Judiciary to a strictly non law making arm of the government.

> Regardless, Trump will have a viscerally hostile Congress, and that with a “Republican” majority. Sadly, what will be needed at this point to put us back on track may require a literal Emperor for several decades.

You are correct and here’s how Trump might change congress: Right now the GOP is the jr member of the uni-party. They’re not allow much real power but they still get most of the perks of it. What if Trump offers to let them become a real power again as long as they work with him. The GOPe congress was corrupted to the uni party through money and status, but power trumps both money and status. They just might go for it.

Go look at Doughty One’s page and look At that little flag and think real hard about your assumption and her first statement. Do your due diligence.

Unfortunately, John Marshall set SCOTUS on its perilous course (and for the lower-court primadonnas as well). Undoing that would require extraordinary efforts beyond what this Congress would ever try to do. Depoliticizing the court is impossible, given that the left has politicized our very issues of right and wrong (which decades ago were not even issues, except to those in the realm of mental derangement and profound perversion).

The Constitution was made for a moral and Godly population, and those that are just that are sadly in the minority today. This, of course, was done deliberately by the left in order to upend and destroy the country and impose their Communist-Fascist dystopian nightmare as the “new” Amerika.

So what ? How does that excuse his lies and slander, not to mention pure ignorance spread on this board about Sen. Cruz, nevermind his supporters ? How helpful do you think that will be for unity on this board ? Remember, pal, I’m the one calling for these attacks to stop - from both sides. Where do YOU stand ?

Loser, stinking spoiler, and the whore’s favorite

Romney = Rove = Cruz = Soros = Obama

Cruz must pull out, like should have done before
the blackmail (for which he should go to jail)
and before his whoring (for which Heidi should
leave him, BUT SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ENTITLED).

Diversion, plain and simple is what you’re doing.

DO’s statement was that ...”I won’t vote for Cruz”. YOU automatically assumed that it was for the general election. If you’d bothered to look at DO’s state, it is California. OK genius, tell me if California has had its primary yet.

I’m not your pal, nor likely ever will be and for your information I already voted for Trump in my state, Georgia, where it took it convincingly, along with the rest of the Solid South (his once cornerstone of the campaign).

This comeback “where do YOU stand?” reminds me of pre-WWII Germans yelling out “Juden!” Why should you care?

The “rising star” should back whomever she wants. Trump doesn’t seem concerned if his wildly anti-GOP rhetoric hurts the campaign of down ticket candidates. No reason why down ticket candidates should care how their campaign affects his.

the #NeverTrump crap has gotta end.

Well, Trump calling the entire party crooked and run by bribes isn't exactly going to rally party rank and file around him. People who work elections, stuff envelopes, run phone banks, etc., for the party probably aren't going to be thrilled with him trashing it.

Why didn’t the GOP impeach Roberts for his behavior?

Uh, right. Impeach the Chief Justice because he voted the same way as 4 other Justices on a case....

It's brilliant ideas like this that explain why our country is so messed up.

You don’t know anything about how the case went down. Read up on it and then come back.

I helped write one of the amicus briefs, so I suspect I know a bit more about "how it went down" than you do. Most of what people believe about it is just conspiracy-level crap.

Roberts changed his mind late in the process, which is unusual but not unheard of, and certainly not any kind of a basis for an impeachment effort. To the extent you think otherwise, you have no clue what you're talking aobut.

A couple of the ways to go after the MSM sidestepping the courts is:

Use the FEC to go after them as unregistered PACs, etc MSNBC is low hanging Fruit for this for example. So would be the 24/7 NeverTrump media.

Use the SEC to break up the MSM conglomerates into smaller less central controlled entities.

Neither strategy violates the First...

I saw what you did there.

There is a Fundamental difference within Ivy League colleges (all colleges) between Business and Liberal Arts colleges. Law School is Liberal Arts whereas Trump is from the business college side. Like oil and water.

Besides the issue was Ivy League Lawyers, a special sub group of the the colleges not just Ivy League colleges.
