Is this bizzarro land? Am I taking crazy pills? When a candidate runs for office and makes/ says he will do such and such, are we just supposed to believe him? Take his word? No. Show me the track record, then I’ll decide if it’s true or not.
In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” this past Sunday, GOP presidential contender Donald Trump said that he would pick a replacement for recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia that was “just like Justice Scalia.”
In the appearance, Trump stressed that it was difficult to predict just how Supreme Court justices would turn out, but that he was dedicated to appointing someone like the late Justice Scalia to the court.
“Look, we need great intellect. We need, I think absolutely conservative,” Trump said. “But the real — I think the real plan forward would be somebody just like Justice Scalia.”
Appearing before Trump on “Meet the Press,” however, Cruz attacked Trump’s record on the Constitution, saying that The Donald’s record of cavorting with Democrats made it unlikely that he would pick a justice with Scalia’s sort of conservative credentials.
“I would note, look, how do we know Donald Trump’s record on this is going to be bad? He has supported liberals for four decades: Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid,” Cruz said.
“Anyone who cares about judges would not be supporting Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer and John Kerry and Hillary Clinton. And the consequence is, if either Hillary or Bernie or Donald Trump is the president, we will see the Second Amendment written out of the Constitution.”
Trump saying that he is going to nominate a Justice just like Scalia, doesn’t really give me any confidence that he will. I can’t trust a man who continually lies and changes his onions almost weekly. Sorry, not sorry Trump supporters, but enough is enough. The man is not a conservative, and if you can name and explain what conservative principles he has shown and fought for, I’d be happy to concede. The thing is, you can’t. Because he’s a liberal.
