    Trump is the perfect litmus test for distinguishing principled conservatives. It's encouraging that so many pass.

        wouldn't he be better if he acted normal but still had his stupid policies? Hard to tell if people are reacting to policy or person.

        I disagree with those who call TV Conservatives a bunch of Cucks. And so what if they choose that lifestyle? #media #science #Trump

        Most of those opposing him are just betting he will lose badly & don't want to be associated. Principle has nothing to do with it.

        feels more like tests in rich kid schools designed so that all of the kids succeed, and somehow they manage to fail anyway.

        SC is in the balance for a generation, making the stakes enormous given the power the judiciary now holds over every walk of life
