Shouldn’t any presidential candidate’s campaign be “controversial?”

Well except for Obama’s. And Hillary’s.

He’s now saying that Planned Parenthood’s business could be as much as 85% abortion.

Obviously someone briefed him on the former error of ‘3%’.

I wish he would take more approaches as Ted Cruz by drawing a line between federal government roles and state government roles.

Abortion should not be in the purview of the federal government.

I hope Donald will continue to self-correct. What I do see as positive is he keeps absorbing information and then uses his own inner moral compass to pass judgment. His inner moral compass seems to work well but he needs Ted Cruz to brief him on details and to make clear issues that the left try to muddle.

No, Sen. Obama’s campaign was mainstream and non-controversial.

It is perfectly normal to have an altered birth certificate, no college records and multiple Social Security numbers, and a mommie who was a commie.

The link up top was the full sit-down interview, but there was also a stand-up interview on Trump's helicopter (plane?). This video is about seven minutes from that focused on immigration. Not sure if there was more.

He’s fine with Affirmative Action. He will go with the courts on firing people for being homosexual.

I see Trump as not fully briefed on issues. When he’s briefed well, he gets it right. This is why he needs Ted Cruz because Ted commands facts and logic better than any other candidate.

My sister and her husband voted for Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and twice for Obama. She has been a huge fan of Hillary. Ever since moving to California from Michigan (where she was for Gerald Ford) she has become a liberal democrat. What is in California water?

Anyway, I am in total shock today. I just got off the phone with her, and she is talking about voting for Trump over Hillary! Main reason is she has realized Trump can be his own man, and will not be a puppet of any rich donors.

Now I am convinced Trump will do very well in general.

I agree, Trump + Cruz is highly synergistic combination.

I actually thought Chuck Todd treated Trump fairly well. And Trump knows how to handle him which I love watching. Jake Tapper was very fair to Trump last Sunday. Up next to Fox News everybody looks normal. Sad.

I saw it as Todd interrupting, making assumptions and digging out decades old comments to try and Gotcha Trump.

He had no interest in listening to Trump’s answers, he just checked off his questions and went on to the next one, just like Katie Couric is famous for doing.

Just my opinion. We will have to disagree on this one.
Todd is a Liberal Maroon and it shows.

I find your comments about California water interesting...My grandson moved to Calif. years ago, he works in the TV business and in fact won an Michigan emmy many years ago...When he comes home he sounds like a liberal, but in California they all call him a conservative. I guess its who your with what you sound like...we all laughed at him saying that...

Well they are all LIberal maroons for sure. But like I said Trump knows how to handle Chuck Todd. Nobody is as nasty as Chris Wallace and Megyn Crowley.
