Good thing he's pro-life then!
"I am now pro-life; after years of being pro-choice." (Apr 2011)
"I changed my views to pro-life based on personal stories." (Apr 2011)
"I am pro-life; fight ObamaCare abortion funding." (Feb 2011)
The latest polls show that among republicans,1 out of 4 will not vote bush in the general. Trump is very rich. He can go 3rd party if he wants to. He is now #1 in the republican polls and rising very fast. He won’t need to. bush may want to go 3rd party.
Good. I hope he does leave the door open for a second party challenge.
“Oh but he’ll split the vote! OMG!”
Perhaps someone would be kind enough to explain why the gop is entitled to anyone’s vote? Is it some sort of welfare entitlement?
Or maybe if the gop is so concerned about it, they should decide to run candidates that don’t suck.
I’m not pretending anything. All I said is you see posters here on FR declined to
support someone should they become the nominee.
What were you implying then, why would a republican presidential candidate who was an Al Gore/Obama democrat until 2009, and whose current favorite president is Bill Clinton, refuse to support the GOP ticket if he doesn’t get the presidential nomination for 2016?
It sure isn’t because the republicans are too liberal for him.
“I would have to see who the nominee is”
Did anyone expect a no or yes or a bunch of vague drivel?
FUDT
The conservatives here at FR are not pro-abortion, gun banning liberals who just recently switched over from the democrat party.
Trump is not pro-life, although he claims that he switched in 2011 to run for president as a republican, for the 2012 election.
Do you believe that at age 65, as he was preparing his run for the presidency as a republican in the 2012 election, after preparing as a pro-abortion Independent candidate for the 2000 election, and having been a pro-abortion democrat from 2001-2009 and pro-abortion for his entire life, that Trump truly and mysteriously switched to pro-life, as he was preparing to declare as a GOP candidate in 2011?
Trump in January, 2015—Abortion? “it depends when, it depends when”
In this 105 second video you see him using that line of his that you chose to quote, to sell him as pro-life, but then you hear that he is actually in disagreement with the GOP pro-life platform on rape and incest, and says that “it depends when” a woman wants to have an abortion, on whether he is against it.

Let's see ...
My first comment contained this:
We have GOT to give up the "lesser of two evils" approach. If the GOP nominee is someone like Jeb, it is vital that Conservatives abandon the GOP en masse.
My second comment contained this:
People here are simply noting that mindlessly backing any and all Republicans simply because they have an (R) after their name is a fool's game.
What am I implying?
Perhaps I'm making a general comment about a lot of people who have some amount of political sense, and perhaps I am trying to encourage people (in a broad sense, using terms such as "We" or "People here") to only support some Republicans, because some of the other Republicans (such as Jeb) are not going to further our ends.
Maybe I'm "implying" that.
But you go right ahead and put completely different words in my mouth. Feel free.
It was the author.
Why do you continue to posture like it was Trump that said this?
Another key item Trump alluded to and is correct about IMO.
snip
Trump has not begun to prepare for the debates, however. “I’m not a debater,” he said.
“I don’t debate. I build buildings, and I grow jobs. These [other candidates] debate every
[expletive] night of their life. That’s all they do. They talk.”
It has to be so cool to have the money to torture your political enemies.
I think Trump is vital in the debates and if they want to try and exclude him, I see no other choice than his playing of this card.
The people pushing for his exclusion are fools.

**”“I would have to see who the nominee is,” he said.”**
Based on some of the Republicans running for the nomination, Trump’s statement is the only sensible thing a man can say.
We have GOT to give up the “lesser of two evils” approach. If the GOP nominee is someone like Jeb, it is vital that Conservatives abandon the GOP en masse.

This is good.
If the nominee is JeBush (or some clone), then Trump needs to run independent and lay into the Democrat.
“favoring Cruz so I don’t have a dog in this fight but Trump trumpets to a different drummer.”
and Cruz is not criticizing Trump on his anti illegal immigration stand which i think i good for Cruz.
Are you claiming that the comment from me that you quoted contains some sort of misguided assessment of Trump, on my part, in which I am praising Trump as an Ultra Conservative who would never support any sort of Liberal?
Because I don't see words to that affect in my comment.
Trump became a TV celebrity because he talks constantly.
He is a celebrity hustler always talking, always selling, always politicking, he never shuts up, he never stops.
You defended Trump saying that he might not support the party that he is running to be the head of.
Well it would not be because the pro-abortion lefty who only switched parties in 2009, is too conservative for the GOP.
How many states have “sore loser” laws?
Would that prevent Trump from running as an independent if he was on the Republican primary ballot?
