I think Trump is politically correct.
Demoncrats are gearing up to drive women to the polls over abortion - painting it the most extreme way they can.
Many Republicans are giving them ammo.
Trump is taking a long-standing political compromise position.
If we expect to win office, something like that has to be the message nationally.
If you don’t want to win office, you will end up with worse.
Lincoln was not an abolitionist. He and his party were aimed at reversing Dred Scott by keeping slavery out of the territories and preventing its re-establishment in states that had abolished it. This quarantine of slavery was a compromise between the ardent pro-slavery position of the Deep South and the extreme abolitionist position from Ohio and New England that had gone mainstream after the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852.
Lincoln and the Republicans stood squarely in the middle, although that turned out to be too much with the Deep South.
“Trump is taking a long-standing political compromise position.”
What long-standing position is this? Abortions on demand just some of the time?
