Destroyed the Christian Coalition? If he wins, he's going to hand them the Supreme Court for decades. Get ready for repeal of Roe vs. Wade, school-lead prayer in every classroom and the Ten Commandments in every courtroom.
Maybe. Maybe not.
When it gets down to brass tacks, and SCOTUS candidates of a conservative bent are finally realized by Trump to be spoiling to rule against all manner of things he wants to do, he is assuredly going to rethink his criteria. He isn't going to appoint anyone that is going to be in favor of curtailing his executive orders, or legislative initiatives, or any of his personal peccadilloes.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Reason to vote for Trump? So I don't have to vote for Clinton. A vote for Johnson is just as good as a vote for Vermin Supreme.
I was appalled at Bill Clinton's behavior as our president. I am reminded daily they Mrs Clinton believes laws and rules do not apply to her. She obviously sold America out to line her pockets with cash through the Clinton foundation. That alone is a huge conflict of interest.
I do not like the direction the county is going and can only envision it heading further down this road if she is elected.
Trump may very well be the last chance this nation has to elect a non politician to the office of President. I cannot say a lot of positive things for him, he is immature and insulting at times. However I do believe he surrounds himself with top talent and will listen to and follow their council.

I hope you (or anyone else with a brain) won't count on that on election day. I agree that Trump will only do what benefits him personalty. If he wants two terms, fulfilling his promise to the religious right will benefit him.

Are you fucking stupid?
Trump doesn't listen to ANYBODY! It's one of his biggest flaws! The man is an egotistical maniac, totally deluded with a false sense of his own importance. Research the history of the man. He's a fucking circus clown.
GROW UP!!!

I think you're crediting his listening skills a touch too much, myself. He doesn't seem very able to handle contrary views or criticism.

Do you live in some alternate reality? Because that's the only thing that could possibly explain this stupid comment. Trump doesn't listen to ANYONE. His own campaign staff bemoan the fact that he won't listen to them. He's so arrogant to think that he knows more than everyone--he knows more than the generals! Did you miss that, or are you stuck in your own little world?

Positive case? Is there one? I literally can't think of one redeeming characteristic of that man.
