Noting with sorrow Justice Scalia’s death, Sowell begs his readers to sober up:
The vacancy created on the Supreme Court makes painfully clear the huge stakes involved when we choose a President of the United States, just one of whose many powers is the power to nominate justices of the Supreme Court.
After enumerating these, and indirectly reminding readers that the next president is apt to be a wartime president, he makes his views about Trump perfectly clear:
Against this background, the frivolous rhetoric and childish antics in the televised political “debates†are painful to watch. If ever there was a time to choose a president with depth, rather than glitter or glibness, this is it.
Trump’s behavior is often that of an “overgrown spoiled brat,†he remarks:
If, by some miracle, Trump became president, what kind of president would he be? Do we need another self-centered know-it-all in the White House to replace the one we have now?

I never knew just how black Sowell was until now.
The world’s greatest intellectual knows his stuff; the issues; and which candidate to support!
"The mask has finally come off!!" they will proclaim!
Did he endorse McCain and/or Romney in the primary? Just wondering.
so your trumpy threatened 3rd party again today.
No problem, I was gonna sit out but for the 1st time in my like I will hold my nose and vote against trump in the general
good luck winning trumpy
NR already endorsed Cruz when it devoted an entire edition to destroy Trump. Sowell is just following the party line.
What is ricochet.com? Where is the link to Sowell’s actual endorsement not that site. I am aware Sowell does not like Trump but can google no endorsement.
Who do you support, Code Pink Trump?
The Supreme Court may be called upon to rule on Cruz’s eligibility. With Scalia gone, if Cruz is the nominee, he’d better chose his VP wisely.
I wonder what Shafley thinks now that Trump has morphed back to his 80’s Code Pink/ Micheal Moore state?
Under the bus with you too, Sowell!
Trump’s candidacy has created a new definition of conservatism - support Trump or you are not a conservative, even if his positions are unconsertive.
“Code Pink Trump?”
So we still don’t know Ted’s views on the Iraq war are yet?
Can’t wait for him to call it a mistake too so we can watch you guys call him “Code Pink Cruz”.
Or he can call it a great success and have him lose the general election.
Take your pick, Cruz fans.
Sowell is a lifelong conservative who doesn't abandon his values the moment some smooth-talking lover-boy whispers sweet nothings in his ear. I would think that to be his true motivation in this case.
The true mind of a person comes out when he loses his temper and lashes out such as Trump did the other night. He’s a phony conservative who is putting all his years of experience as a bullsh*tting salesman to good use for the Clintons and the dimwitted, lunatic fringe on the right has taken the bait, hook, line and sinker.
There’s a sucker born every minute
I thought Trump said nobody was endorsing Cruz because he’s a bad guy. LOL
