I'd like Republicans to tell me exactly when did Donald Trump become a judicial originalist?
I want to know what is conservative about Trump. Five kids by three different women. Filed bankruptcy multiple times. Didn't pay contractors. Gives a rat's behind about religion...so much more.

I personally don't care what you want to know, all I hear around here are left wingers claiming that Trump isn't conservative enough. I voted for him to be Trump, not a conservative. Trump has never claimed to be some right wing conservative, he's a businessman looking to succeed. Hell just a couple years ago he was openly a democrat.
Is that so? Why didn't you Republicans do all of these things the LAST time you had the presidency and both houses of Congress? You Republicans "had in mind all this time" all the same things you had in mind the last time.
Result? Nothing. Repubs: long on mouth, short on results.
Meh...you guys have won all of these legislatures and governorships all across the country and the country is basically no different than it was before you won those seats. Hell, i live in a Republican state, and i haven't seen anything different since our last Democrat governor and congressman had their seats.
Republicans talk big in the run-up to elections, then they get the victories and do nothing but suck-up to the top 3% to 5% of the country...a group that you're nowhere close to belonging to in a million years. Neither do the rest of the right wingers on CD.
This new Republican regime coming in January will be no different. They'll be tax cutting for the wealthiest, figuring out ways to help corporations to get even richer, encouraging offshoring, doing absolutely NOTHING about illegal immigration, and looking for fires all over the world for our military to put out. And you'll be supporting all of it too.
That Muslim registry? That won't be happening either...but you knew that already.
Then I guess people like you have nothing to ***** about, oh wait you guys never shut up.
While better than the alternative, don't expect us (as far as courts of appeals go) to radically change things right away. Conservatives only currently have the 5th, 6th, and 7th circuits to rely on. The vacancies won't get us majorities on the 9th, 8th, 4th, or 11th circuits. However, with expected retirements and appointments, we can (believe it or not) get majorities on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd circuits. And getting the 2nd circuit, which covers NY, would be just as important as getting the 9th circuit, which covers CA, among other states. And Democrats have no one to thank for this possibility but themselves when they killed the filibuster for all judicial nominees but the Supreme Court. Gun control in NY as it has been known are on its last legs!
Obama & Harry Reid lost the Senate to the GOP. This is the single reason he can't get anything done now.
Elections certainly do have consequences.
Court and cabinet appointments are supposed to proceed, the GOP is the reason their is such a backlog. Republican or democratic senate doesn't matter but the last 8 years have been different even when the GOP was a minority party. Did you not notice the title of this thread?
Good strategy, wasn't it? The world did not end for the want of a few dozen judicial appointments. Now, there is the potential for a conservative judicial swing. All good.
Dems wanted scorched earth war, they got it.
