as long as his SCOTUS appointment is at least center-right i agree, if he goes for a hack who is literally just a bomb aimed at abortion not so much.

also if he was looking for a general pivot why keep stevie b around, let alone in such a powerful spot?

i think its going to be some weird hybrid of left and right thinking, or in other words moderate because he has equally left and right proposals.


yeah judges are my only concern right now

I really think he is gonna get nutty with them but hopefully I'm wrong

the irony is that when i had discussion with family members it eventually devolved into "well at least he'll appoint a conservative SCOTUS judge" and me saying "god i'd kill for a moderate one". I could spend an hour explaining to my ignorant family that he might not be able to get a damn thing past congress and they'd still be happy he'll be repealing abortion. then i explained that only means states can decide and abortion state will still be everywhere, and i think they honestly didn't believe me.

Anyone who had their fingers anywhere near the disgusting breach of human rights and the American constitution that was the rfra shouldn't be in any political office whatsoever. Not to mention his stances on abortion and cigarettes. Cigarettes don't damage your health? For real? Dude is fucking certifiable.

Dumbest reason to vote Trump. But you may just need those guns in a couplea years time if Trump follows through on his vision of turning America into a corporatist, fascistic, orwellian nightmare.

Chances are he won't be able to make good on even 10% of what he promised on the campaign trail but if he does then any healthy man with a backbone will have a moral obligation toward armed resistance.

Don't forget what he told you - ' You second amendment people... There's something you could do'

I take it your a glass half empty type guy. Must be nice to live in a world such as yours with so little expectations.

Second amendment person checking in.
Not quite sure exactly what you meant by the bold. Could you better explain it to us with some details?
