I think Bernie is far worse. Hillary is a crook who will adopt whatever policies that can keep her in office, out of jail, and living a lavish lifestyle.

Bernie is a committed communist/socialist, who would not shed a tear if our standard of living was slashed in half (or worse), as long as all of us (except him, his family, and his friends) shared equally in the misery and poverty.

I suspect that the Democrats really would like to replace Hillary with a candidate like Booker after the convention. Biden has run for president before and he was a horrible candidate. He is another 8 years older since he last ran for president, so I am sure that he and Trump would keep the gaffe counters working overtime.

While I'm sure Trump will have some gaffes along the way, I'm sure he will get better as time goes on. He's not from a political background, and even those that are still have plenty. While we would all love to have the perfect candidate, there just isn't any out there. That's been a problem for the Republicans, always trying to find the perfect candidate. You may disagree but I do believe he will get better and I do believe he will make a strong President in the end.

I don't see any evidence that Republicans have tried to find the perfect candidate. Reagan was a great president. George H. W. Bush was a solid president, with whom I had some disagreements. Since that time, if Republicans have been trying to field the perfect presidential candidate, then they have failed miserably to deliver, IMO.

I do disagree with you about Trump, but there is always a slim chance that anybody who gets elected may exceed low expectations. Not much was expected of Truman and he turned out to be one of the Democrats' best presidents in modern history. If Trump gets elected, then I will hope for the best, as I do with all presidents, but if he does not deliver, it will be a short honeymoon.

Trump is the best choice from among the field. They were all singing amnesty and social justice until he proved sanity still prevails. Only after it became obvious that the voting public had not slammed the door on Mr Trump and his candor pertaining to his stated policies, did courage seem to find it's footing in the rest of the field.

In my view, American exceptionalism is already lost. What we're about to find out is whether this nation can undergo a patriotic and moral resurgence, or if people who don't contribute anything to the common good, along with massive and mindless immigration policies and the sexually deviant, are going to continue to pull all of our strings under the authority and might of the federal government or not.

Hillarys ship is sinking faster than the titanic even before she can get out of the primaries. She not only has anchor Bill around her neck but other baggage as well.

He has a real chance to be a hero after the last 8 years of this admin, I can't think of too many people that would pass that opportunity up.

[WideRight05]

Knowledge is never a bad thing, Wide, but this list is just another cheap, clumsy Trump political device. Putting together a list of conservative judges does not cost Trump anything and it should get him some support from conservatives who are on the fence between voting for him and casting a protest vote.

Putting Don Willett in the list was a shrewd but cynical move. Trump would never nominate a vocal Trump critic to any position, let alone a lifetime appointment that would place him in a position to swat down part of Trump's agenda. OTOH, if Willett is an ambitious man with his heart set on being on the SC, then maybe he will tone down his tweets about Trump.

Putting Willett on a list of 11 judges when the winner in November is unlikely to appoint more than 4 justices is a no brainer. But the list, like Trump's many strong positions that are now being called "suggestions" does not bind Trump in any way. If Trump is elected, he is a likely one term president, and he will be relatively immune to political pressure from the right.

Even if Trump were serious about this list, calling the 11 judges on the list pro-life does nothing to improve their chances of ever winning Senate confirmation. Trump should have released the list and then left it to others to speculate on the judicial philosophies of the jurists. He should have stressed their records as judges who believe the Constitution means what it says and left it to others to characterize the judges as pro-life Constitutionalists.

In other words, it looks like a great list, but a great list of other people does not make Trump look any more fit for the job. I would have been much more impressed if Trump could describe the attributes that his nominees for the Supreme Court will have instead of having one of his minions throw together a list for him.

This is a man who lied about self financing his campaign for the entire primary season, despite ample evidence that he was not being honest. I hope people do not really believe that this list is any kind of commitment to appoint judges who will make conservatives happy. It isn't. It is a list of names that was assembled for purely political purposes.

It’s tough at times to really try to think this out, because I’m giving Trump's list of judges much more consideration and thought than most of his supporters who didn’t give the slightest scintilla to any of the other candidates. It turns out, actually, that it seems like this is list was more put together by The Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups. Relating to Don Willett, I’ll put it this way. If BGR had an award for favorite poster, would you consider TRT for it?

Of course not, and I say that it would go that way vice versa as well. That’s what was done in the case of Don Willett as you mentioned. Willett is one of the few judges probably in the entire country that actually utilize social media. Based on what I have read about him, I like him so far. But unfortunately, I can’t see him getting on the court. From time to time, he has made an occasional critical post of Trump. Thus, why in the world would Trump want to put someone on that list that is critical of him? That just doesn’t make sense. Unless, Trump had very little to do with the list.

I really don’t mind that, what matters to me is that the right person gets picked. However, we have to remember that we are very likely going to be back to a Democratic controlled Senate. I anticipate Rob Portman of Ohio and Mark Kirk if Illinois likely losing their elections. Kirk is liberal for the most part socially, Portman I just can’t trust. Even if we still had them given that they are moderates, I still see somebody being nominated similar to Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, or Sandra Day O’Connor. Republicans may have a majority right now, but people like Susan Collins, Kirk, and Portman combined with a few weak RINOs tend to offset that. So even if they somehow retained the Senate after having to defend all these seats, it will be difficult to get a strong conservative on the court.

I can tell you that a couple of these judges, particularly Pryor and Sykes, seem very wishy-washy. I am going to wait and see if Donald Trump releases an additional list of judges. If he does, then I will see what he decides to go by in his criteria for nomination. Since we bypassed other candidates that I feel would have a much better grip on this, we can only hope he does the right thing.

Yes, he did lie about his finances. When you first mentioned that I honestly didn’t think he would want to pay that back to himself, just because it’s a fairly small amount by his standards of money. I found it odd that he would still give himself a loan like that though and sure enough, he’s now using the donations to pay himself back for it. Trump has ran his campaign trying to distinguish and separate himself from being a typical politician, but this issue with his money is one that goes to show he is not to be trusted.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens, but if I see three or four judges on his list that could turn out like Kennedy, O'Connor, and Souter, then it won't interest me. Right now it’s still likely I will be voting for Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party.

Agreed. All the new president would need to do to make the economy boom would be to follow the Reagan playbook. Simplify and reduce the regulatory burden on businesses and lower the tax burden on corporations and small businesses. Obama has been so bad for the economy, a mediocre president will look like a superstar.

Where we disagree is that you believe Trump's promises and I see him as somebody who has always shared a similar political agenda to Hillary's but is also willing to say anything and flip-flop on any issue to win the office. Trump gives credit for his success to himself, and I do not expect him to feel much loyalty to the people whose votes may put him in the White House.

Like you, if I am wrong, I will be happy to admit it after seeing what President Trump actually does once he needs no votes. No sane person wants to see any president fail, as long as success does not look like Obama's Utopian dream.

Reliance on those programs will end one way or another and somebody will eventually pay for them without receiving any of the benefits. A nation cannot survive living beyond its means for perpetuity.

Hillary will hasten the day of reckoning and Trump has not offered a credible plan to deal with the debt. Cutting waste, fraud, and abuse is no plan but neither is outbidding political opponents for votes. Neither party is serious about reforming our runaway government.

Trump and his spokespeople have already said that most of his "positions" are just suggestions. Trump made a lot of very strong sounding proposals during the primary campaigns that he has recently "softened."

Laffer and other economists are no different than any other Trump supporters. They believe that Trump will do the smart things that he has suggested he might do and they do not believe that he will do the idiotic things that he has suggested he might do.

There is nothing in Trump's past that suggests to me that he is trustworthy. A man who has turned to the federal bankruptcy courts on four separate occasions for relief from his creditors does not give me much of a comfort level when it comes to jump starting the world's largest economy.

A 6 percent growth rate is not beyond the realm of possibility, but to achieve that goal will require a strong leader who will fight to roll back regulations; repealing legislation like the Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley Acts; and signing legislation to lower taxes into law a high priority. I just don't see Trump as that kind of leader. Deal makers are better qualified to be U.S. Senators than U.S. Presidents.

As far as my opinion being "wrong, that is nonsense. Future events will prove whether my opinion was well founded or not, but your listing of names of economic experts who support Trump is not going to prove anybody's opinion wrong or right. It is amazing that you do not understand that simple fact.

In my opinion, Donald Trump has presented no credible plan to address the exploding national debt. In my opinion, neither has Hillary Clinton presented a credible plan to address the national debt. In my opinion, Ted Cruz has presented a credible plan to address the national debt by specifically naming five major federal agencies that he fight to eliminate.

None of the above statements in the poorly written paragraph above may be proven wrong, because they are each an example of a statement of opinion.

Most people can readily discern between a statement of fact (which may very often be proven correct or incorrect) and an obvious statement of opinion. Prefacing every opinion with such explanatory preambles ("In my opinion") for those who cannot or refuse to intuit such distinctions themselves, makes for tedious reading. I will continue to target an audience who can differentiate between a fact and an opinion without the benefit of such preambles.

I agree 100 percent, but I would also add that losing arguments also often involves an almost total absence of verifiable facts as well. If all one has to offer is opinions and personal insults, one is not going to win many debates, no matter how much one is inclined to claim wins for "refuting" opposing opinions with nothing but his own opinion.

There really has not been much fact sharing by those supporting Mr. Trump, since the campaign began. If you want to challenge that assertion, then I encourage you to count the number of links to newspaper articles and other media sources posted by the very small number of Trump critics and compare it to the number of pro-Trump links posted by the much larger number of Trump followers.
