That Cruz pushed Roberts is, just as you say, counter-evidence that the choice will be predictable and so is no reason to vote for a candidate who dubiously even shares one’s conservative sentiments.
Do not forget Kennedy who was appointed by REAGAN!!!! Also Trumps sister was appointed to the bench by AGAIN REAGAN!!! So please I want to hear NOTHING MORE about the MOST DIE HARD CONSERVATIVE candidate due to the court!!!! CRUZ PUSHED hard for Roberts and AGAIN we got screwed!!! Roberts was probably the WORST of them ALL in my opinion!!!!
