I have incredible doubts that list is anything more than bait to get conservatives to get behind him. I would wager all the money that nobody from that list makes it into the court.

After saying for a week he wanted to debate Burn, as soon as Burn agrees, he backs out???? WTF? Trumps says it's because Burn is in 2nd place although Burn has always been in 2nd place and he certainly was in 2nd place when Trump started calling for the debate.
He basically picked a fight with someone whom he thought wouldn't stand up but when Burn did, he then decides it's not worth it? Typical school yard bully BS. Makes a person wonder if he'll stand up and go through with any of the hot air he's been pushing or if he'll back down at the first sign of resistance like he did tonight.

Donald Trump announced late Friday that he no longer wants to debate Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, after saying earlier this week he’d be willing to do it.
In a written statement, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee cited the “rigged” Democratic process – along with the fact that Sanders is almost certain to finish as their runner-up, and complaints about whether enough of the proceeds would go to charity – in turning down the debate proposal.
“Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher,” Trump said.
That is one way to look at it. Here's another:

Unfortunately (because many of us wanted the alternate), the smart play argument won out.
By candidate Donald Trump initially entertaining the Sanders invite the media storm elevated Sanders California profile. As a consequence, by declining the debate Trump initiates a sympathetic energy release amid the electorate toward Bernie which will, most assuredly, ensure Sanders wins the California primary against Clinton.
The long game of Clinton’s nominee marginalization is better served with Sanders winning the CA primary. A well played maneuver of strategic political chess.

Donald Trump Will Attend Rolling Thunder Memorial Weekend Event, Sunday In DC…
Posted on May 28, 2016 by sundance
(Via Bloomberg) Donald Trump is planning a Memorial Day weekend visit with one of his favorite constituencies: bikers.
As motorcyclists stream into the nation’s capital for Rolling Thunder, their largest annual gathering, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is planning an appearance on Sunday, campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said.

“I am doing it in honor of the great bikers who have been totally supportive of my campaign and now I want to be supportive of them,” Trump said in a statement to Bloomberg Politics. “I look forward to it!”
I still have my reservations and am skeptical about his newfound conservatism but Trump is playing the media like Itzhak Perlman on a violin. I'm not happy about getting another big government Republican but it beats the anti-Constiution Obamas, Clintons, and Sanders of the world.
