In the past, I held my nose and voted for the likes of George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, John McCain, George W. Bush (the second time), etc. who were foisted on me by the powers-that-be in the GOP. This time, I’ll be holding my nose again, but I’m finding it surprisingly easy (despite very strong personal feelings) to vote for Trump for one simple reason: the Supreme Court.
Conservatives have to hold power in the House, the Senate and the Oval Office to accomplish their goals. The liberal-left need only dominate the Supreme Court to foist its agenda on the nation. The next president will have probably three, maybe even four, justices to appoint.
Progressives have changed America fundamentally by controlling the Supreme Court and other appellate courts. A flock of Clinton appointees would just about finish off the Good Old USA. I’m not confident The Donald would actually appoint solid conservative thinkers to the bench, but I know damn well that Ms. Clinton will fill the ranks of the Supremes with the same liberal-left legal crusaders that Mr. Obama has appointed. Yuk!
Contrary opinions always welcome, particularly when the subject is The Donald.
