What will liberals do when they realize Donald Trump is not quite the monster they’ve made him out to be?
Here’s a preview of what the president-elect has to say on gay marriage during his interview with “60 Minutes” that airs tonight:
Trump on gay marriage to 60 Mins: "These cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They've been settled. And- I'm– I'm fine with that."

But is this a shock to any Republicans? It really shouldn’t be:
This is a man who went to his first CPAC with GOProud for goodness sake! https://t.co/76gjE4G4ai

Just to reiterate @realDonaldTrump is THE MOST PRO-GAY PRESIDENT EVER!

Also of note, if President-elect Trump does appoint one of the names from his SCOTUS list, that new justice might not see gay marriage as settled as the new president does:
Probably not the view of many of the potential Supreme Court Justices on Trump's short list https://t.co/an3OrJDFYQ

Will his SCOTUS picks be OK with that? https://t.co/bHz0bWqVo6

Note: That he may be "fine" w/ Obergefell says ZERO about whether he will appoint judges who will respect the decision, or LGBTQ's humanity https://t.co/4gPA51Jp3B

Liberals were concerned as Trump did say he’d want to overturn gay marriage during the campaign:
Here is Trump on tape vowing to overturn gay marriage. https://t.co/luwDaTAe1f

Exit question: If President-elect Trump thinks gay marriage is settled, what about Roe v. Wade?
Ok so what about Roe https://t.co/AvIlMlZ7Uf
