Trump Supporters Want To Change Constitution

1. I think perhaps we need to reevaluate the requirements for president...

....at the campaign level. Don't put anyone through whose father was Ku Klux Klan, or whose family came to America unlawfully within two generations, or who won't release tax returns, or whose family member served in a war against the U.S., or who can't pass FBI background check comparable to top security clearance. Something like that.

Haven't we learned some lessons this go-round? We've been naive.

4. Tax returns and FBI background check: I totally agree.

Judgment due to family background ? This gets into some questionable territory.

6. I'm not talking about Constitutional requirements....

....but vetting at the campaigns level --- voluntary vetting and publishing of the information.

7. Oh,Okay... but do you mean only at the time of their first campaign? Not likely to happen then.

Should a crazy relative, even one generation back, be relevant? The candidate is the important one in any normal situation. That's my point; no argument other wise.

2. A black man was elected president twice...

..without losing the popular vote. This alone, probably drove those Republicans “batshit crazy”!

3. Critical Thinking! Such a sadly lost cause.

As an English teacher/ reading specialist, I always thought it was the most important, underlying concept in all learning, other than (but still not in all cases) in the math/science fields where there are already proven concepts. So many adults are threatened by their children's questioning their beliefs, but I see here another factor: unquestioning belief by some adults that they ARE critical thinkers while making exceptions for their long cherished prejudices.

5. These people need some schoolin'! Education is fundamental!

8. They're applying to the US Constitution what they do for biblical morality.

And that's to cherry pick the shit out of it! But if you tell them that the 2nd Amendment should be changed, then they'll lose their shit.
