Trump should have taken it farther, by laying the original sin of the Iraq war right on the doorstep of Bush1.

As are you, thinking Cruz has a shot at the nomination.

RE: What Trump seems to be saying is either the abortions will end or Planned Parenthood won’t be funded.

OMG! You are twisted and delusional.

Sorry Cruz you are Washington DC and part of the problem

That's an utterly ridiculous statement.

That's why he has all their support, right?

Cruz and McConnell are BFFs. ...silly.

Now you guys sound like Salon or Democrat Underground as Trump parrots their Iraq talking points.

Trumps hearts baby-part-selling Planned Parenthood too. ...great.

The guy is jackass.

What nonsense! She’s a good debater? She’s a hatchet faced toad who repeats various lies and bromides until television viewers flee screaming into the night. Trump is not afraid to call out liars (as he did last night) and he’ll nail her lying soul to the mast. Let’s just see what his poll numbers are after last night’s debate - in which he called out the usual liars.

No one wants to listen to the ferrety Cruz fake humility during two hours of debate time.

No record?

Why would there even be?

Trump is a private citizen. Should he have submitted a written position paper back in 2002?

“Not to mention 99.9% of what they do is abortions.”

Then he would cut 99.9% of their funding. That’s simple math.

A very good article, reminding us that politics as the art and science of winning, is indeed a blood sport, of which Trump is a master.

In Donald Trumps alternate universe Planned Parenthood does good things

Adolph Hitler built the autobahn. He also conceived the volkswagon with Ferdinand Porsche.

I didnt say she was a good debater. I meant that she has been around in politics long enough to know how to handle someone like Trump. And I agree with you - she is a lying toad who should not even be eligible to run for office. She should be in jail along with her husband.

What Trump seems to be saying is either the abortions will end or Planned Parenthood won’t be funded. That’s a logical way to stop funding them, unless they totally give up abortions. It’s a sensible approach and can’t be framed as depriving women of health care.

I don't know is PP does good things or not. No personal experience. But, I do know this.

There have been marches and protests against PP and abortions in general, and PP and abortions are still there.

The fact of the matter is this. The time to have opposed abortion, etc. was before it was passed by judicial action into law. But, the Catholic Church and other churches were asleep at the switch. Now they are swimming up stream and trying to slog their way into relevancy.

They were late on abortions, late on euthanasia and late on homosexual marriage.

Just saying.

Well, your reply was worth the effort.
I agree with you.

Some have their hands over their ears and refuse to listen

“In a culture where “politics” has become an echo chamber — a vain hall of mirrors installed by the worship of rhetoric and self-regard — true politics, the art and science of victory, is dead.

“The kinds of action that arise from a corrupt political culture, from the corrupted idea that politics is a game of semiotics first, are, therefore, also corrupted: fake actions, actions without integrity, actions born to lose.”

That’s a powerful statement right there.

She can’t handle her husband! She couldn’t handle Rick Lazio or Bernie Sanders (the few times he actually went after her). Underneath that nasty personality is a great big coward.

Everything isn’t Black or White.. Trump is right.. Planned Parenthood does SOME good things for women.. He certainly was Not defending their hideous abortion practices.. They should be totally revamped and not allowed to do abortions at all.. Nada.. Zero. Abortion is Murder unless it is preformed to save the life of the mother.
