I guess it depends on what kind of America we want in the future.


Look at Trump's short list of SCOTUS nominees. How will they shape the judicial landscape for the next 30 years?

Look at the people on Trump's VP shortlist: Cruz, Fallin, Palin, Corker, etc... They will be next-in-line in 8 years if he wins.

Look at Trump's speech to the NRA. Is that where we want guns/gun safety in this country?

Look at the response of other nations to Trump since he declared last June: Mexico, Israel, France and England have all spoken publicly against his policies or words....do we want someone who creates that much conflict and instability with our allies?

Just my own 2 cents.

Sorry....I dont know how to add a snapshot of the tweet but the text is:

"If a guy said my dad helped kill JFK and my wife was ugly, then no, I would not unite behind him and endorse him for POTUS."

But will Cruz do it still? I say Yes.

with a few suggestions that are more appropriate:

Looking online, here are a couple that I liked:

About Feathery Scout

Father's side: Conservative Republicans with zero pity or compassion for others. My dad became a success by pulling himself up by his bootstraps from severe poverty....and expects everyone else to do the same. Mother's side: Strong Pacifistic Liberals with concerns for the international repercussions of our actions. Help others as much as possible. Care for others as you wish to be cared for. Myself: Started as a Repub...until my Dem family members gave me help in a time of need. I discovered empathy and compassion. Believe in Dem concepts of public assistance, education and healthcare, yes even in this imperfect government structure. Our people are our greatest strength.
