Mr. French is lying. He doesn’t change his mind today, he has gone berserk since day one Trump entered the race. Now he’s pretending he’s an innocent victim of cheated spouse. What a jerk!

All I saw was National Review and I was done with the article. Prejudiced from the get-go with an agenda to get rid of Trump.

I am against anyone or organization who is AGAINST someone rather than pitching their own candidate. Show me someone better Trump who's winning and I will look at them. Otherwise, there is nothing to see here.

This is one of the reasons, I suspect, that the polls generally show Trump losing to Clinton or Sanders. Too many Republicans won’t vote for him.

I’m not sure I agree with Trump 70-85% myself. I think his various tariff plans and some of his other efforts to force people to “buy American” are going to backfire big time, and the people who will bear the brunt of that are the poor and the working class. I’m also deeply concerned that the national debt seems to be completely off his radar. He just brushes it off with, “My tax plan will fix that” or “I’m going to get us jobs and fix the economy.” I’m skeptical.

I do think he’s right that some of his other planned actions (lowering taxes) will get more money flowing in, but I don’t see it as anything like sufficient. And I, too, was annoyed by the mention of Planned Parenthood in that speech. Trump can like Planned Parenthood all he wants, but he should not agree with forcing the American people to fund Planned Parenthood.

The fact that he resists agreeing to defund Planned Parenthood when he must know that this is an issue the American people are deeply divided over is not a good sign. It’s one thing for a political leader to insist on military spending and activity despite a sizable pacifist minority (which, to be honest, we do not have right now anyhow), but it’s quite another to be funding a group that performs controversial medical procedures.

Protecting the people and dealing with our enemies is part of government’s job, and always has been, and that requires using force, which some people dislike. Funding an elective medical procedure is not the Federal government’s job, and neither is funding an organization that spends so much lobbying.

Frankly, I don’t think that taxpayers should EVER be expected to pay an organization that pays lobbyists. Frankly, I think it ought to be illegal for the government to give funds to any organization that lobbies, period, paragraph, the end. No taxpayer should ever be forced to pay a corporation that lobbies the government. Even if the taxpayer’s money doesn’t go directly to lobbying, it frees the organization up to direct more money into lobbying.

Trump does not get this, and that’s a bad sign.

Sounds more like he’s been CALLED ON HIS LIE to support Trump, if he won the nomination fair and square.

EXPECTED by this bunch. NO ONE anywhere near the nominating process EVER expected Trump to get this far. They were ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that we would ‘come to our senses’, and support yet another Open Borders candidate that seems more happy ‘losing with class’, rather than winning.

The Jews in Germany also thought they would be left alone if they ‘played nice’ with the people that despised them.

>> the true battle for our country isn’t political, it’s cultural and spiritual. In an era where fidelity and integrity are in increasingly short supply — with the breakdown of faith and family the chief factors in the struggles among America’s most vulnerable citizens — how can I responsibly cast a vote to give one of the nation’s foremost cultural platforms to a man who has openly, loudly, and unrepentantly bragged of his adulterous sexual conquests? . . . Our nation can survive lost elections, but over the long term it cannot survive a decayed culture. And by God I won’t vote for a man who takes a wrecking ball to the core values I hold dear <<

Very well put. Thanks, Mr. French.
