Given our electoral process that essentially allows states to elect the President and not the people, I can understand her position. Especially if her state is a slam-dunk for one side or the other. If her state is a legitimate swing state, then I might recommend otherwise.So, you are very against Trump, but will only use half of your power to ensure he is not elected.?

And so it begins.... A can of worms very well may of been opened for Trump... [/FONT][/COLOR]

No other word fits. He disses the judge solely on his race.
It should. Your argument for preferring Trump has hinged heavily on the notion that he will be more likely to appoint conservative judges. Trump took that claim, ripped it up, and took a dump on it, demonstrating that he will instead attack and seek to pack the judiciary with people who will give him whatever he wants, rather than conservative judges who might curtail his abuses of executive power.
Totally Unlike Trump!
Except for all those times.....
He *could be* ok, sure, anything's possible, but I believe he would be an absolute travesty.
Trump is just as awful. His behavior the last few months has convinced me I don't want him anywhere near the Oval Office.
I won't be voting for either one.
Which was a mistake until it was discovered the Judge's affiliation with the Anti-American org La Raza.
we have two crappy choices, my main issue is gun rights, Hillary is far worse
Sen. Jeff Flake did the same out here.
While I am not a Trump supporter I really see this as little more than further evidence that the GOP establishment needs to go away. If these jokers had listened to the voters for the past 8 years and pushed a solid, principled conservative (or even a libertarian) they wouldn't be looking at this mess today.
I honestly hope he wins.
We need a wake up call.
We need to realize we can't be so reliant upon who the President is.
We need to realize we don't need a government in our own lives to change our own lives.
We need to realize our own power. And an American Dictator may be that mobilizing, motivating, unifying factor that finally unites us as a country.
It's bitter-sweet, but it is a bitter-****ing-sweet reality that we live in.
Having President Hillary will be the exact same thing as President Obama and President Bush: more interventionism, more wars, more economic recession, more sectarian strife. And anyone who criticizes him (her) will be accused of being a racist (sexist), and his (her) supporters will blindly accept that.
But the truth is, We The People of the United States of America are The Powers That Be.
We rule the world. The U.S. government is terrified of us. I wish more people realized this.
THe elite have long been terrified of the little people, which is the motivation for attempting to exclude us, for ignoring us, for lying to us.
Ya, that project did not work out too good.
The choice is reform or violence.
Political violence we got now.
Trump gets it.
He is far closer than anyone else asking for the job.
No, that was Bernie Sanders, but the dumbass decided to run as a Democrat instead of a Republican. He should have realized how much more corrupt the DNC was than the GOP (at least as far as the nomination process goes).
The guy who relishes giving economic policy lectures, the guy who is almost completely incapable of doing anything else, is nowhere nears the little people.
If Trump wins (probably will), I'm afraid he'll get stubborn stupid on some crucial international issue and screw the pooch for all of us. :shock:
Good for him. I hope he's the first of many. I'm waiting for my Senator, Kelly Ayotte, to also say she isn't supporting Trump.
I would far rather lose the Oval Office and retain some dignity as a Republican than support someone who is horrific.
I believe he called out the judge for being "Mexican" (even though he was born in Indiana).
Then he doubled down on his stupidity.
Then he tripled down on his stupidity.
Yet, you still are in the cult and have to do gymnastics to keep up your cognitive dissonance.
What I said is also true. Obama nominees are suck puppies.
Trump got a clear majority of the vote in the primary in Kirk's state .. and also Ayotte's state. so you are saying that the Senators of those two states should not support what their constituents want?
No he didn't. He got 38% and 35%. And Senators should not automatically support whoever wins their state's primary.
I don't know where you got those percentages.
Trump Cruz Rubio Kasich
Illinois
551,053 430,170 122,954 279,518 39.8%
New Hampshire
100,406 33,189 30,032 44,909 48.1%
In the Case of Illinois you could perhaps make an argument for it.. perhaps.
In the case of New Hampshire where he more than tripled the total of anyone else that to me would clearly be ignoring your constituents.
