I do not know who Colin and Condi will vote for.  I like to think of them both as independent thinkers.  It didn't surprise me that Colin voted for Obama, given his treatment at the hands of the Bush Administration.  And it turns out, he was right about Iraq.  Both of them made a huge impact on the culture of the State Department, which I am sure was undone at the hands of Hilary and Kerry.  As for any Supreme Court picks, under Trump, I would like to think that once the politics is out of the way, the supreme court will maintain a balance between conservative and liberal thinking. 

Believe me, Trump is not my ideal candidate by any stretch, and I'm not ultra conservative.  But, given the choice between the two, I have to go with Trump.  Someone needs to shake up Washington and Hilary will not do that.  Additionally I cannot see a way forward with Hilary and I don't think we can go another 4-8 years with nothing getting done.  I do think that we have an obligation to those who need help, but it should be on a short term basis and not a permanent state as it has become.  I was supportive of the concept of Obamacare, but not a fan as to how it was implemented.  And I agree with Trump that we cannot be the policemen of the world, and that we can't take on everyone else's wars, if they will not allocate their funds to helping their own military.  We've been on this path of putting everyone else above the U.S. and its needs, and that cannot continue. We cannot continue to build nations when there really isn't anything in it for us; no quid pro quo.  And in a good negotiation or deal, there needs to be a quid pro quo.
