Trump has o support among moderates and independents. Now he is revealing his true populist roots and pushing conservatives away as well

This is going to make some people think you might be “evolving,” Donald.

It may not be a political winner but it is a moral absolute. Look where going along with what is popular has gotten this country

And Trump just attacked a conservative legislature and governor who did the right thing at the state level. No sale.

Science says a human life begins at conception.

As the left liked to say while trying to force vaccinations on everyone: FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!

Odd how the left now rejects science. (/sarcasm)

If you look back to the threads when Trump entered the race for 2016, the transition, especially among Cruz supporters, which I was one of, was messy. No different now. You will get over it, and soon support DeSantis if he joins the race.

Yes but moral absolutes need not be in one’s rhetoric.

Abortion laws should be decided at the state level. The Florida legislature and its governor have made their decision for their state. If Trump has objections, he can always move to another state.

We spent four decades in getting back to the central truth that the Federal Government should not be involved in medical abortion. Florida is a state government — the Legislature there should represent the state, their values and their constituents.

Why is Donald Trump buying back this divisive issue? Stupidly he thinks that he can get liberal voters — he can’t.

According to the 2nd article you provided a link to, Trump is only against Kate term abortions.

“The president then called on Congress to pass legislation to prohibit late-term abortions.”

Not any different then a moderate pro-choicer.

I started the Trump for President ping list in 2015 before he came down the escalator in Trump Tower.

We called it right at every step of the way.

I like DeSantis, but odds are not in his favor.

> Trump has o support among moderates and independents. <

Well, not zero. But it sure is dropping. We desperately need MAGA back. And Trump is obviously the most MAGA candidate out there.

But MAGA qualifications mean nothing if you cannot get elected. I live in a swing state. I know many JFK Democrats who voted for Trump in 2016. Most of those folks are now either anti-Trump, or very skeptical of Trump.

Much of this is due to media propaganda. But much of it is also due to Trump’s own careless behavior. For America’s sake, it’s not too late for Trump to course-correct on this. As I mentioned earlier, he needs a senior advisor. But I doubt if that will happen.

“President Reagan’s stand. He was for a “Life of the Mother” exception only.”

That’s the stupidest argument there is

How so? Reagan made an exception based on "self-defense". I don't agree with it, but it is qualitatively different than "incest and rape". Reagan himself made the same distinction. Trump was being sloppy at best.

What is a “Kate term abortion”?

Hate to say it, but consider the source. Fox has twisted his words.

This is where Trump is not steeped in long-term constitutional conservatism. The battle for years has been to over throw Roe v. Wade. That sends the entire abortion issue back to the States. It is no longer a federal issue which takes the heat off of any conservative running for federal office. If you truly believe in the 10th Amendment, then you say so. It's simple. Either you are silent on the issue or you say it is a State issue.

In this case, it is best to be silent. The issue is divisive. There are plenty of other problems that need to be solved at the federal level, and for most of them the 10th Amendment applies. Consistency in principle is required.
