Rick Robinson: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Ludlow-Bromley Yacht Club somewhere near Ohio for the match up everyone has been waiting for — Donald Trump versus Donald Trump.
Since Mr. Trump has now declared that if he wins the GOP Presidential nomination, he won't run against himself as an independent, tonight The Donald will — in his own words — attempt to explain his position on the issues important to American voters.
Now let's meet the contestants. First, a successful businessman and reality game show host who hates Rosie O'Donnell, please welcome Donald Trump. His opponent is a candidate for the Presidency of the United States who apparently also hates Rosie O'Donnell — Donald Trump.
Alright gentlemen, let's get started.
Planned Parenthood has been in the news this week. So, I'll ask a relatively easy question. What is your position on the issue of abortion?
Donald the Game Show Host: "I'm very pro-choice."
RR: Okay, thank you. That seems pretty straight forward and easy to understand. Mr. Trump your response to yourself.
Donald the Politician: "I'm very pro-life and feel strongly about it."
RR: There seems to be some contradiction here, but you do seem to appeal to all on the political spectrum. So, let's move on. Much of the current political landscape is focused on the future of universal health care. Where do you stand?
Donald the Game Show Host: "I'm a liberal on healthcare. I like universal. What's the country all about if we're not going to take care of our sick?"
RR: Again very understandable position, Mr. Trump. In fact your plan for tax-subsidized health marts under a single-payer system sounds a lot like Obamacare, without the individual mandate. Mr. Trump what do you think about Mr. Trump's position on universal healthcare?

On Planned Parenthood he said he wanted to stop and not fund abortion all along.
He never wanted to close the whole thing down because they give the welfare women’s health services beyond abortion as well.
Oy, desperationville.
Just as an aside though, can you name a PERFECT candidate of any of the ones we are looking at for this cycle?
Who is your guy, just curious.
Trump understand if they can’t get treatment at a PP center they will use the emergency room at the local hospital.
(I in no way support abortion or what PP has done).
Nobody, and I mean nobody, is talking about the Bushes and the Clintons.
So please, let's keep it up. I think we should put reporters on the street and interview everybody who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows Donald Trump. We can't get enough of this Donald Trump.
The establishment so much wants us to bury Donald Trump. They want us to choose one of their lily-livered, suck ups who will continue doing exactly what we’ve been getting for decades of betrayed voting for republicans.
There are two fighting the Washington cartel: Cruz and Trump.
So, I’m supporting both of them.
Not anger; just tired of banging my head against the wall with the others.
The author’s own bio:
As a conservative humorist, 48 percent of Americans think Rick’s work is devoid of any journalistic value whatsoever -— let alone humor. Of the remaining 52 percent, half of them think his columns are serious. Yet, the remaining group helped make his collection of columns, titled Strange Bedfellow , premiere at No. 1 on Amazon’s Top Seller List of political humor.
Cruz goes on to explain why he thinks it’s a mistake to denigrate Trump and his followers, Cruz tells <>Politico: “Donald Trump had a rally in Phoenix, Ariz. [to which] between 10 and 20 thousand people came out. When you attack and vilify the people at that rally as crazies, it does nothing to help Republicans win in 2016. I’d like every single person at that rally to show up and vote in 2016, knock on doors with energy and passion, and turn this country around. If Washington politicians show contempt and condescension to those [voters,] that is a path to losing at the ballot box.” He’s right.
This just in: Trump Eats Rye, And Not Wheat, Toast. Unfit for office of Presidency!
Who is your guy, just curious.
I'm for Ted Cruz all the way. I stayed up all night and watched when Ted Cruz and Mike Lee made their stand to stop Obama Care. He had the guts to get up and call Mitch McConnell the liar that he is. Ted Cruz seems to understand what is at stake for this nation, this isn't a sports-game and our children and grandchildren will pay the price. Of course he's not perfect, but when the chips were down and the leadership of the party caved Cruz and Lee kept on fighting.
People don't change as much as they pretend to when running for office. Mitt Romney kept trying to swing to the right as his campaign imploded around him. What mattered then was his record as Governor.
Donald Trump is an actor and seems to be playing a characture of the ‘typical conservative’; I've not heard him articulate in a way that seems to resonate that he really believes in conservatism.
He did a good job of shining light on the illegal immigration problem. Since then he has become a rolling side-show starring himself. The media is using him as a shield to avoid talking about abortion or having to debate conservatism in the arena of ideas. That's not entirely Trump's fault, but I see no record to prove that the words he says today will have any bearing on how he would govern.
Trump has them scared shirtless.
I haven’t see this kind of fear in career politicians and their supporters and their minions in the media and their bosses in the donor class in a long long time.
Maybe going back as far as Goldwater.
He’s certainly has some of the right enemies. I’d feel better if he were drawing more flack from the Clintons and the Democrats.
Trump might want to take power away from the establishment but he doesn’t want to govern much differently. He just wants to be the guy steering the big government machine. Because he can “do it better.”
The Jewish folks here sound like the leftist media. Trump is the one who bluntly said without hesitation the Iran deal could very well result in Israels demise and followed he’d quickly choke ISIS to death physically and financially.
Very odd.
Thanks for your response, for the record, I am leaning toward Cruz though I don have some issues with him as well as all the others....just less with Cruz.
Trump, I know what he is, but the criticism that this article denotes is BS. In this case, Trump is playing it smart. He know that if he dismisses the supposed “good work” of PP, he’ll reignite the “war on women” meme.
That said, you have to play the game to win, in my view on this particular kerfuffle, he is playing the game well....even though they will probably still say he is advocating taking away women’s “reproductive rights.”
So to get your candidate noticed you have to misrepresent Trump as a flip flopper by using his former positions 20 years ago? That’s just sad. I feel sorry for you and your candidate.
Just mention the words Sarah Palin and
But I hear you.
I’m enjoying the spectacle enormously. Nothing makes me cheer more than someone shaking up the status quo. So, go Trump, give em hell.
However, in defense of reality, the quotes aren’t from 20 years ago. They’re in this decade. They’re instructive. I find Trump is consistently supportive of one idea: Trump is the best, the brightest and the richest.
Everything and everyone who agrees: Good.
Anyone who is curious about that and even idly questions it: Bad.
