Trump wasn't elected because of his intelligence or even because of what his actualy beliefs are. He was elected because of three reasons:
1. Millions less democrats voted in the election for Hillary compared to Obama. Republican numbers were about the same as turned out for Mitt Romney. Likely due to all of her connections to Banghazi, the email leaks, and all of those weird suicides of people that were gonna testify against her.
2. Drain the Swamp. Even if it is an idiot doing it, many Americans would rather have an idiot in charge than yet another career politician.
3. Many Republicans that hated Trump still ended up voting for him simply because he pledged to nominate conservatives on the bench with a incredibly popular and publically displayed list. If he, in a couple years, mentions how another 4 years in office will increase the likelyhood he can get another 1-2 justices on the bench, he will likely win again (unless the democrats have another minority group run against him). He may not even personally be against abortion, or may in reality be against religious freedom for business owners, but as long as he does things to fight abortion and protect people's religious freedoms, then people will aboslutely continue to vote for him. The man's actions speak a lot more to his value (from a conservative point of view) than anything his stupid twitter account says. |
You summed up how he could win a second term w/ 1 sentence:
" If he, in a couple years, mentions how another 4 years in office will increase the likelyhood he can get another 1-2 justices on the bench, he will likely win again (unless the democrats have another minority group run against him)".
They'll vote him in if they can slowly make the US permanetly lean right. 2-3 are likely to leave very soon. So that guarantee will be his ticket

Absolutely. Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kennedy are all 79-84 years old, and Kennedy has had more rumors about his pending retirement than there are about Brangelina. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump gets another 1-2 justices in his first term, let alone his second term. Nothing gets conservatives more riled up and excited than the prospect of getting pro lifers on the bench (myself included). I would love to be able live in an era where the killing of the innocents is a thing of the past (legally speaking. I fully know people will still try and succeed in doing it, but illegally and in way less quantity).
