Trump on Supreme Court: best way to end abortion is to vote for me

Continuing the focus on the GE and not the long over primaries...

Here is Trump's stance on the Supreme Court. He says he'll stack it with anti-abortion judges, and that the best way to ban abortion is "by electing me president."

I think I need to call it a day with Sanders and his supporters. I've been trying, but I keep falling off the wagon.

He should be the focus now... I don't know if I'm quite there yet, but maybe it's time.

Because we can't underestimate the voters' willingness to self destruct by voting GOP. 8 years of idiot Bush?

There are so many ways that the Donald is dangerous and bad for the US. This is just one.

We need Hillary in the White House and Mitch and Paul returned to the back benches where they belong.

Abortion is just the big issue a lot of people focus on. The Supreme Court can do major damage in many other ways if it's stacked with Trump judges. The next president will establish, for the next several decades, whether the Supreme Court is conservative or liberal. The anti-Hillary people will see this eventually. They will see that not helping the Democratic Party this year is suicide

That's why I think attacking Sanders over what he's doing right now isn't an effective strategy. What he's doing is harmless and attacking him will only further alienate his supporters. GDP is another story. Trump helpers there deserve to get smacked down. But going out of our way to attack Sanders... not a good strategy.

The abortion issue is VERY important, but there are others, too. Voting rights, LGBT rights, gun control, just to name a few. We CANNOT let that happen.
