When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And if life gives you Donald Trump, you vote for him because having Hillary Clinton make picks for the Supreme Court just can’t happen:
Bottom line from Switzerland: You must support whomever is the #GOP nominee because of SCOTUS. Period. Full stop.

In summary, it’s OK to compromise on Trump if it saves the Supreme Court:
If we're not willing to accept a liberal compromise on one branch of government (SCOTUS) why compromise on another? https://t.co/cJWHlhdQVR

Because the branches are not equal when it comes to the Constitution. SCOTUS makes the calls. #Reality is HRC destroys it

But can we trust Trump’s picks?

Hugh’s reply:
Not true @realDonaldTrump promised Judge Pryor, Judge Sykes. SCOTUS saved.@HillaryClinton appoints Crits. https://t.co/KuBNEFpggI

It is an absolute certainty that @hilllaryclinton would never elevate Judge Pryor. @realDonaldTrump could https://t.co/TTzQmQYyYL

Fingers crossed.
And for conservatives who say they’ll vote for Hillary over Trump, Hugh says “say goodbye to SCOTUS for your lifetime” if she wins:
NO. If Trump is nominated, I will vote for the candidate likeliest to stop him. If necessary, Hillary Clinton. https://t.co/UV1fVd08da

Then say goodbye to SCOTUS For your lifetime You aren't getting it back –not even a 4-4-1 SCOTUS https://t.co/Cnxd3LJScx

This is a conversation we’ll be hearing much more of in the coming weeks. Is Hugh correct?
