Then - incredibly - the Democrats lost the presidential race.

Now, the race is on. Republicans (I am one) will retake America by retaking the judiciary. Judges will be named and confirmed and as far as I can see there is nothing the Democrats can do. They can delay, but they can't stop it.

This thread shows the depth of ignorance of The Left. Donald Trump is not delaying anything that really matters, but the press and the late night gang has Lefties looking in the wrong direction.

Trump cries foul on judges, but he's ahead of Obama - LA Times

What you're really saying, is that these republican-appointed judges will be completely biased towards right-wing values and will skew justice away from all the rest of us. A most unworthy goal and one that just may backfire. Some of those judges may have enough personal integrity, to carry out their duties in a fair manner. Wouldn't that be a big disappointment for those hoping for a totalitarian dynasty to squash all other political and social agendas.

Wanna try and support that with facts are should we just score it an opinion? And we all know what's said about opinions.

Those wall protoypes are lookin' mighty swell.

Maybe they can stagger them and film The Maze Runner: Escape from Trumpworld there.

I don't see what else will come from all those man hours.

no, what it means is that we will have judges on the bench that wont write new laws, but instead apply the constitution to the laws.

Yes. That is what I am saying. America should return to right wing values. There will be some unhappy folks, but America will be better for it.

Amazing level of ignorance and denial.

So far Trump's successes have involved things like a greater number of Americans without health care, and increase in hate crimes, and alienation from our tradition allies. You haven't noticed his failure to pass a single major piece of legislation?

what are "right wing values" these days?

I used to vote R, i voted R locally and nationally. But over the last 20 years the right has moved to far right and left me behind.

So i ask you what are Right Wing values these days?

When i look at the GOP i see party that started two wars that fights to avoid sharing any of our wealth and a party that is based on fear and bigotry.

it is NOT the Republican Party i supported for so long. It has become has become the tool of the uber wealthy. there is no point me laying it all out as i am sure you are fully aware who benefits from the policies of the Trump admin...
