Trump :“What I would do when the time came, I’d look at the individual things they (PP) do, and maybe some of the individual things they do are good. I know a lot of the things are bad. But certainly the abortion aspect of it should not be funded by government, absolutely.”
80% of something is better then 100% of nothing. This is one of the reason “Conservatives” continually fail. If you don't get 100% of what you want, you would rather get 100% of what you absolutely oppose with Hillary “Cult of Sanger and Abortion” Clinton.
Lame excuse. Face it. Maybe he is trying to triangulate the issue. If so, even worse.
Trump’s plan is pretty simple.
1. Defund Planned Parenthood if it doesn’t stop doing abortions.
2. Fund Planned Parenthood if it DOES stop doing abortions, because funding pap smears, STD info, etc. is not funding any abortion.
You are correct that there is probably a correct understanding of Donalds position that is Pro-Life. The problem as I see it is that Trump spent his life totally focused on business and only gave momentary consideration to political issues.
What happens now that he sees the country going down the toilet and jumps in is that he sometime lets his mouth get in gear before he has even studied the question. In private business this is only a privately offensive approach. In the middle of the public square, it makes him look, ill informed, unprepared and I mean no offense, but, unprincipled.
He needs to realize there are twenty topics that are hot issues to single issue voters and he has to know in advance where he truly wants to stand.
80% of what the Mafia/(’60s era) Black Panthers/the Nazi Party (Godwin alert!)/and the Unabomber did were nice too. Why quibble about that other stuff? Are we now purists or something?
