That is what I don’t get. The same people who will go back 27 years to find a time when some candidate voted in some way they don’t like cannot be bothered to take ten minutes to look at Donald Trump’s positions on - for just one example, Abortion.
Perhaps its the people who are attacking Trump that need to do their homework before pulling out the knives. I see nothing to quarrel with in Trump’s explanation and evolution, a great many people have traveled the same path he did on that issue.
“In 2011, Trump has recently said numerous times that he is pro-life on abortion and that he changed his views from supporting abortion to pro-life based on his relationships with close personal friends who had children. Their pregnancy experiences, Trump maintains, allowed him to mature on the abortion issue to the point of now opposing abortion.
In an April interview with the Des Moines Register newspaper, Trump expanded on those comments.
“If you look at it, I said, “It really, really troubles me, and it really, really bothers me, the whole concept of abortion.” This was years ago, and even then it really bothered me, but I went on the other side of the line,” Trump said. “But in thinking about it over the years, I’ve had instances, and one instance in particular, a friend had a child who they were going to abort, and now they have it, and the child is incredible. And the man, he changed his views also because of that.”
“As I’ve grown older, as I’ve seen things happen in life, I’ve changed my views - and others have also,” he said.
Just look at his current potions, no need to go back to what he actually thought in the past of which has shown no tangible evidence of repudiating, just words - never, never trust a politician, no matter how nice and cozy his rhetoric makes you feel - remember, he is just saying what he believes you want to hear to get you vote.
If all the politicians I heard speak actually did/believed what they claimed prior to being elected, I’d still be a commercial fisherman living on the West Coast making a really good 6-7 figure living ...
