(921 posts)He can be the next nominee after Merrick Garland! If Trump in any way wanted to be President of all the people, he could start by nominating OUR rightful pick. Instead of their right-wing prick. Of course, Trump is solidly in the pocket of the alt-right neocons. He is not in any way "different" or "refreshing" like I have heard some people say in the past.
If I were in a position to ask a question of this "so-called nominee." I'd ask him 2 questions.
1) Why should we consider you over Merrick Garland, an exceptional pick, who the republicans were too chicken to even hold a vote on?
2) If we believe in no taxation without representation: how about representation without taxation? Many corporations are free to spend unlimited funds to lobby congress and influence our elections, yet rarely, if ever, pay any taxes. Billionaires get these same extraordinary "rights" as well, many of them never pay any taxes. Why are corporations and the wealthy afforded more rights than ordinary citizens? Is this FAIR?! How would you remedy this?
