One dangerous thing a Pres. Trump will do - change the Supreme Court

I care more about this election that I have about any I have voted for and that goes back to Gore v Bush. The reason why is the Supreme Court is at stake. Trump will not be able to do any of the crazy things he wants to do like build a wall or ban Muslims. What he can and will do is nominate probably two to three Justices. One is guaranteed which will swing the court back to the right. If he gets two or three, then that will change the court for 20 years. That means any progressive legislation that is passed will be overturned even if the next President is the most progressive ever his or her entire agenda will be challenge and reversed by the Trump court. Anyone that is thinking of voting third party should keep this in mind.

Trump can't get a judge without the senate, and neither can HRC.

Truth be told, Trumps list of prospects ISNT his, it's a list constructed by republicans. It's those people who are dangerous, Trump isn't prepared to make a SCOTUS nomination of his own.

So, let's get THAT senate control thing done
