2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt is was it is, don't forget the SC
Clinton won a state she was supposed to win,
but we can't afford not to go to the polls in Nov. This election is about SC and we need a Dem in the white house

(3,166 posts)so I am just asking, you rather have a Trump, Cruz or whomever, nominate a supreme court justice than Hillary
Supreme court appointments last longer than presidencies

(2,566 posts)I think Trump is a better choice then Hillary and here's why, Trump doesn't have 150 million worth of favors to pay back, he might actually manage to get some things done for the middle class since he is not owned by the elites and corporations.
Hillary has a record, I know what I'm getting with her, and no thanks.
Trump? Who knows? At this point Id rather take a chance on him.
Been a Dem my whole life, danced in the streets when Clinton won the first time, same with Obama - literally yelling and popping champagne.
The Clintons completely lost me forever when I learned about the speaking fees that went straight into their personal bank accounts. The frequency, amount, and the corporations that paid the fees = 100% corruption and bribery.
The Clintons might as well have just accepted suitcases full of money. The fact they sang a little for their supper or that it wasn't 'illegal' is irrelevant.
Influence money always leads to corruption, if the Clintons had an ounce of integrity they would have waited to go on the speaking tours after they both completely retired from politics.

I believe Hillary would nominate corporate friendly justices anyway, so it makes no difference to me.
Abortion is too important of a wedge issue for both Dems and Repubs for the Supremes to ever make it illegal completely.
So the 'lesser of the two evils" and voting based on wedge issues doesn't do it for me.
Bottom line Third Wave needs to be squashed, the sooner the better.
