They have a specific agenda, which has nothing to do with culture wars or even any ordinary version of conservatism. They want to remove corporations completely out of the reach of federal regulation, while at the same time easing the path for them to own Congress (and now, of course, the courts).
Trump indicated who he wanted on the Supreme Court with a list of over 10 judges BEFORE the 2016 election. Voters had an opportunity to review that list and many decided to vote for Trump on that basis. It's a different matter if Trump simply lied to the electorate as many politicians do.

Trump is my best option right now. My goal is not to destroy capitalism. My goal is to destroy the establishment. That means supporting Trump right now, although he is paying a price for being kind of a soft touch with the Democrats.

They are not getting stronger right now. They have been getting their asses kicked.

As if that's anything new? We've been taking it in the ass for quite a long time. So what? Tell us something we don't already know.

That is kind of unsettling, but it does speak to their state of mind right now. Trying to pull off a recount in Florida and manufacture more than 13k votes has to be par for the course. At any rate, that was my intention in this post--illustrating the panic among the left, because they have already lost a swing vote and it does appear to be in the foreseeable future that they will have another SCOTUS pick within the next six years. So the Democrats should be pulling out all the stops in 2020--expect cheating on a Florida-like scale unless Trump finally gets the DoJ to tackle voter fraud and upholds his oath of office to defend a republican form of government.

It will in any case make some people worried.
Interesting. Jews are a tight-knit community. That was true in the attempted Kavanaugh take down too, as it involved Schumer, Blumenthal, Feinstein, Katz, Bromwich, Swetnick, etc. So if RBG was going to tell some politicians, I'm betting Feinstein and Schumer would be at the top of the list.
