Donald J.Trump suggested he supported shutting down the federal government to stop funding for Planned Parenthood in the wake of videos that show officials with the group discussing fees for tissue from aborted fetuses.
In an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday, as the Senate voted down a measure to stop federal financing for the group, Mr. Trump called the clips “disgraceful.”
Mr. Trump cited the efforts to shut down the government in order to halt funding for the Affordable Care Act, a movement in 2013 led by Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas and a candidate to be the party’s presidential nominee, and suggested that tactic should be used again.

I agree. THis guy, I think, was poised to run in 2012, but the US and the world were not bad enough back then, plus it seemed at the time that Romney was a shoe in.
Trump, is ready, and I think he’s legit.
I wondered if he were to come out on this, and he did, saying the right thing.
He will do well in the debates...
You’re right. I”ve seen many posts accusing him of being a liberal, a rino, a this and a that... with people posting that he’s not a true conservative... and that they will NEVER vote for the guy. ALL THE SAME THINGS THEY SAID ABOUT REAGAN.
Given that abortion is the murder of young children, I agree with Donald Trump on this. I think we should do this immediately.
I pray to my Lord for my country. This issue in and of itself is enough to indict liberal progressive cultural norms and practices.
I refuse to believe that the efforts initiated by the left to desensitize and dehumanize the average American have progressed to the point as to be irreversible.
The filmmaker and undercover reporters in question are heroic. I pray they will soon be regarded as brave evangelists that rescued America from the immoral abyss of Hell.
Amen
“I have read numerous Posts right here on FR that Trump loves Planned Parenthood and is as Pro Abortion as Hillary Clinton.
I also heard he is also one of those CCL Carrying Gun Grabbers.
This must be from an edited Tape, just like the Planned Parenthood stuff.”
Not your imagination, I’ve read them too, just like they were cut-and-pasted from DU.
First of all, I am a Cruz supporter but I am also a Realist.
He has been saying many of the things that Trump is saying now and he has gained no traction.
A lot of that is due to how he is labeled an Extremist not only by Democrats and the Media, but the Establishment Republicans as well. The Slander that Cruz shut the Government down because he such a meanie flows from both sides.
I don’t think Trump is a “Conservative” and he has never said he was, but that has nothing to do with the fact that he is appealing to every Demographic just by speaking his mind and talking Common Sense.
Some people love it and some people hate it, but Trump doesn’t just lay down like President Bush did when he is attacked. That “it’s just Politics” crap that Bush sold us gave us Obama.
Trump doesn’t care where the fire is coming from, he fires back and doesn’t let People think that no reaction means the attack is the Truth. That is what Republicans have done and all the Lies have become Truth over time to a majority of Americans. Denying that is denying reality.
All I know is that Trump seems to be appealing to the Apolitical (silent majority?) types. Bringing more People into the Republican Party is something he is doing all on his own, and he is still vilified, amazing. Are any of the other Candidates attracting those potential Voters?
At this time I could support a Cruz / Trump Ticket but I am becoming more flexible every day. For all we know, Trump could fall flat in the Thursday Debate and there will be a reset. Then again, I’m beginning to think the opposite will occur. You just don’t know, but it sure is fun to watch.
“I don’t think Trump is a “Conservative” and he has never said he was, but that has nothing to do with the fact that he is appealing to every Demographic just by speaking his mind and talking Common Sense.”
Actually, Trump has been saying he is a Conservative in multiple interviews. Might I suggest ear swabs, lol.
Well, if true I stand corrected.
My ears are fine, but thanks for your concern.
Then again, compared to most of the other Republican losers on the Debate Stage, maybe he is a Conservative. LOL
there is only one real loser on the Republican list of Candidates and that is the perennial loser Rick Santorum
the others are current or near current winners
#BlackBabiesLivesDontMatter to Margaret and Hillary.
Entire D party fall under that umbrella
They would go ballistic being connected to Hitler publically. They want to continue their activities under the sheets. Yes the D party and KKK are one and the same. They were not just opposed to blacks. Republicans also were targeted.u ancestors had a cross burned on their property when dads uncle and family came to visit. His wife qas 1/4
Am tired of being PC and not talking about it. We have nothing to be ashamed about!
Ghouls are shown laughing about it too-It's hideous! Not one freakin cent of tax payer money should go to such monstrous butchery.
I agree with Donald but will also put out there that we need to round the ringleaders of PP up and put them on trial for crimes against humanity - just like we did in Nuremberg 70 years ago.
I'm getting the feeling they are working together like those tag-team wrestlers.
