Trump, of course, has no idea what that means; he was just getting positive feedback talking about replacing judges and so he started counting up to increase the cheering.

Of course the replacement judges wouldn't be any better, as he'd still pick candidates from his in-group.

At least I am confident he has no idea what he is talking about. If he gets his base frothing about it though the GOP will follow through and have what 18 Justices? Most of whom will be unqualified children with 40 or so years of horrifying decisions to dole out.

Every time he opens his tiny mouth he loses a voter somewhere.

I hope this is true, bad sadly I feel it’s not.

Trump has a consistent rabid base imo. The problem is we are so polarized anybody who will still hold their nose and vote for Trump are probably not gonna change whatever he does. I live happily in my little bubble though so who knows.

Increasing the size of SCOTUS requires Congress, not POTUS. Trump is, as usual, wrong.

All the sudden packing the courts is a virtuous conservative ideal. Traitors and scum, the lot of them.

Trump is such a moron. I really want him to just go away. Just go play golf and eat McDonald's.

But thank God for his SJC picks. I shudder to think who Hillary would've appointed.
