Since you didn't answer my question, I'm guessing you haven't spoken to ANY.

Your stupid little strawman of “Conservatives don't believe in punishing people for things that are legal in America” is just that, stupid.
Watch me burn your strawman:

Trump's answer to a hypothetical question was dead on correct.
If an individual State or the Feds passes a law that prohibits elective abortions, what happens to the woman who has one?

I note he didn't state what the “punishment” should be, just that there should, logically, be one, if such laws were passed.

Would it involve a civil fine or criminal misdemeanor charges, up to and including manslaughter/murder?

It's a second murder charge, for someone who kills a pregnant woman and her unborn baby in many States.

I'm pretty sure YOU do not currently “see the light”.

I should be more forgiving.

But I ain’t been in that kind of mood lately.

But things are looking up.

The premise of Donny the Democrat Donors run as a conservative is a lie. Anyone who has already been pro-life from the get go, as a CORE belief, would have blown through that question unscathed and perhaps even changed a few minds.

Instead, another battle in the war on women lost...and another front opened up against those of us on the right.

This is like Chinese water torture with Trump wine.

Next time why don't we just cut to the chase to prevent all the angst and caterwauling and make Barney Frank and Barbara Boxer our ticket?

I am sorry to see Trump walk this back, he was right the first time. Oh well the abortion issue will not be settled by the President or the Congress that ball is and will remain in the courts.

If Don-Don where indeed pro-life, if it were a core belief,

THIS NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!

Cruz would have nuked...er ah..carpet bombed Chrissypoo.

Romney: taken out by a 500lb woman waving a piece of paper named Candy.

Hair Trump: taken out by a 350lb wet-brained drunk named Chrissy on a core conservative position.

What is Bob Dole doing these days?

heh.

Unfortunately, politics has skewed so far left in this country that if you propose punishing a woman for having her unborn child killed, you will be persona non grata with the women’s vote.

You may have a point. The view expressed by Don-Don, that woman should be punished; is not all that uncommon.

From those who advocate and support SHARIA LAW!

Perhaps Donny was just suffering from SHARIA OF THE MOUTH?

I'm just trying to hep youuuuuuuuu.

heh.

Well, since being pro-life and always being so is a core belief of mine; I believe the question by Chrissy would have been a SOFTBALL (get it? heh heh softball) to me.

I would have hit a grand-slam.

And it would have been HUGH.....HUGH I SAY...

I would prescribe large quantities of Trump wine to ease the pain.

I do believe it comes in vats.

heh.

All true; some say though that the women are so weak and confused that it is evil paramours putting them up to the abortion. That way the paramours avoid child support payments, and the silly women never figure out the scam.

Never answer shit. Can't say I have every had one ask me a question. Perhaps SUM TING WONG with your Trump wine.

I believe it is the SS TRUMPTANTIC which is listing to the PORT side.

Ah yes...the delegates. Well now...there in lies the rub.

At first the delegate switch was a few here and there. Since the cluster-f^%& of the past 10 days or so...that has changed.

Now Ted will not get too many delegates from the North East...this is true....some, but not many.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you John Postal Kossack who will indeed pick up a great deal of those switched delegates.

I dare say that Donny the Democrat Donor is soon to be shedding delegates faster than a Husky sheds fur in the spring.

Same thing seems to happening out in Cali too.

As to your reference to “Magic”. I do sincerely believe that Don-Don is in need of some assistance in order to save at least SOME of his delegates. Perhaps he can contact Mitt & company and get a loan of some MAGIC UNDERWEAR!

Oh wait....Hair Trump has pissed off and lost ALL OF THE MORMON VOTE.

Perhaps Sleazy-Donald still has SOME support in the VOO-DOO community?

heh.

Sorry for the delay. Stupid delegates. Some on our side researched Donny the Demonrat Donor as much as the lamestream media vetted Osama..er..ah...Obama.

You were saying....ah yes something about pro-life.

Are you saying that the conservative position regarding the enforcement of laws in this country has changed? That the evolving paradigm that passes for conservatism in Trumperland now believes in punishing folks for doing nothing illegal?

I didn't get the memo. As Charles Krautpliers (aka Dr. Strangelove) said, anyone who has a pro-life position at the core of ones’ belief system would never had even thought of the words that dribbled out of Donny's yap.

Say, how is that cross-over, women's, demonrat thingy going anyway?

heh.

Perhaps if some had voted for the real conservative Tea Party candidates (we only had 3 to choose from)we wouldn't have so many diving off the Trumptantic.

By the way...my strawman isn't little...I have big strawman...nothing wrong with me straw....man....HUGH!

FRgards.

Probably and I’m not talking politically. Trump was wrong to answer a hypothetical, but he answered the hypothetical CORRECTLY.

No, punishment for crimes is part of Western Law, and if you make abortion a crime, the woman is a committing a crime!

Cruz is as dishonest and just STUPID to chime in on Chris Matthews little hypothetical crappola as the rest of the media.

IF, as Matthews said, abortion were ILLEGAL, it only follows that there would be some kind of punishment.

This is just more BS piling on Trump to protect the big business of CAMPAIGNS, which Cruz is all about! Follow the $$...yes, it’s really that simple.

Donald Trump is the ONLY candidate who will stop the corruption in DC.
Anyone not supporting him is just as corrupt. And not very bright. Rafael Cruz proves every day he will sell out the USA. IF he weren’t he’d be supporting Trump instead of conning well meaning DUMB Christians that he gives a rip about them!

First, I’d like to state to you that I’m supporting Trump for many of the reasons you are. But to say that folks supporting others are corrupt is really ignorant. Do you really believe you’re helping Trump by talking this way? Are you a child? You’re an embarrassment.

LOL!

Which “side” would that be ?

Are you still lost in the Internet, and need help to get back to your start point?
I can help you.

It's a unique service I unintentionally provide for random trolls.

Look, all I know is we're gonna need a bigger boat. A bigger boat to rescue all those abandoning the SS TRUMPTANTIC.

I amuse me.

And I am not a troll. As I explained to someone else, I did have a cave troll once. Boy was I sorry to see that big fella go. Ate the neighbors. Has someone he hasn't eaten yet send me an update from time to time. We communicate over this new fangled thing called the internet.

Fella by the name of Al Gore invented it. Explains all the blue screens and FBI Warning pop-ups.

Boy do I miss that cave troll.

FRgards,
Jedi.
