By David Thornton, The Resurgent, October 18, 2016 - A major argument for Donald Trump has been that “He’s not a great
candidate or a conservative, but we need him to prevent Hillary from
picking Supreme Court justices who will gut the Second Amendment.” Now, as the “Trump train” goes off the rails three
weeks before the election, it is becoming apparent that conservatives
need to find an alternative strategy to save the Court and block
Hillary. The key to stopping the liberal agenda for the next four years
is Congress, specifically the Senate.
....Many Trump supporters will say that the Republicans in Congress didn’t
do much to stop Obama for the past six years. They are wrong. Republicans in Congress were remarkably successful at stopping President Obama’s legislative agenda....While it would be preferable to have a Republican president to help pass
conservative reforms, Donald Trump is no conservative and has shown
little inclination to work with his party. If Trump becomes president
and Republicans lose Congress, he could not be trusted to nominate
constructionist judges or veto gun control bills. ...Republican funds would be better spent on tossup congressional races
to preserve the Republican majority than in attempting to shore up a
candidate who is biting the hand that feeds him.
If the choice is
between an unreliable President Trump and a Republican Senate that has
shown its mettle, I’ll throw in my lot with the congressional
Republicans.(link)
