“The problem about all the other things PP does is mostly they don’t.”
You are right but so is Trump. It is perception in this case that matter. If the funding for abortions is gone then PP goes away. They have very few other revenue streams. By saying “Stop the abortions but allow the other things” Trump is coming across as a moderate and defecting the untrue, but inevitable demodog attacks about him hating women.
Notice another thing. The demodogs can’t counter the position without admitting the truth. Trump’s stance is a win for him what ever happens. He either gets the dumb blonde who sleeps around vote or he gets the demodogs to admit they are lying.
And Iraq? Did it really make any sense to invade 911 when the maniacs were Saudis inspired by a Saudi national?
So, yeah, I'm glad Trump's bringing that up. Let the chips fall where they may.
FWIW, Rubio and Trump had minor give and take, for sure. But Trump's over-the-top performance gave Rubio and Carson space to get upright after they'd been unfairly bashed. Makes me suspect that Trump is really, really fed up with Cruz.
Who's the loser? Cruz. Nothing in his performance last night will garner him any new supporters.
That's my take.
Trump is clearly out of his mind. You can see it in his eyes.
Trump was the only one who said it was important to protect women’s health issues while stopping the funding of abortion. His answer was realistic, and as a result probably satisfies next to no one.
As a success or a failure?
Does putting the word "really" into an opinion change it into a fact?
Was Lowry in the audience last night?
My son called it Donald in the Lions Den.
I noticed for the most part Trump silenced anyone who tried to interrupt him, even when he was interrupting. He must carry some kind of force with his presence. That is a characteristic of a leader.
Trump is more akin to a Reagan Democrat than a left-wing democrat.
As far as him shutting up any criticism against him if he should get into office, what makes that any different than any other individual who is in office now. Think about it, it was okay to make a movie about the assassination of the sitting of a republican president but when a democrat president is treated the same, those voices are silenced. Its called politics. Silence your opponent before he makes waves by attacking his person and character thus discrediting him. Pubs do this to each other but when it comes time to the gen election, this hardly gets done. Discredit your opponent before he discredits you. Mitt Romney was seen as soft going into the final weeks of the last election because he would not attack bummer.
And if Trump said, "I support CAIR except for their support of Islamic terrorists" would you think that was OK too?
Did not watch the debate. So it sounds like Lowry is now reduced to ad hominem arguments - he writes nothing to back up his headline.
But logic is for little people, not well-paid elitists trying to get clicks and Fox appearances.
You are correct and I know that.
Donald was misinformed when he first commented in the press about the awful ghastly PP videos of selling baby body parts. He was told by someone that abortion was only a small part of what PP does, then later he was correctly informed that PP does mostly abortion and very little for women’s health. So he corrected himself before the press several months back.
But still there are women who think PP really does provide a great service for women’s health. They are also misinformed. But Donald is not in the business of educating every American about what the real story is. He has to pick and choose his fights.
So he’s adopted the tack that PP can do women’s health just fine, but not when it comes to abortion. That’s where he is now.
There is also the practical side of the matter. There are hundreds and hundreds of PP clinics around the USA. Some of them are modern state of the art. They were built with federal funds. There’s no reason they can’t be revamped to provide premium women’s healthcare with a name change and a prohibition of performing abortion on demand. I wouldn’t be surprised if Donald had that in mind. It makes sense.
Trump has said he will defeat ISIS and take their oil. Is that a good reason to invade Syria?
Trump is not Washington DC.
That is all the voters care about.
Media, GOPe, NRO don’t get it.
Since they don’t, they will continue to be driven whole-Crazy.
Now you’re getting it Richie!
The USS Cole bombing was done almost a year before 911 by bin laden, there was no excuse to let the guard down on Bin Laden.
“TRUMP, WHO HAS NO PROBLEM WITH PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION”
That you, Ted?
Anyway,
And YOU accuse someone of being unhinged?
Half crazed?.. it’s called pissed off passion and we like it when people fight back when dipsticks try to screw them over

His answer was smart. This is why he could get votes from the left and they will run from Cruz like scalded dogs. You’re not going to take abortion from the left until you show them that it’s being used just like Margaret Sanger intended. I’ve never heard an anti-abortion republican politician point that out before in spite of the fact that they CLAIM they are against it.
Some years ago, I forget how many, there was a video of a liberal woman that attacked some pro life advocates. She started destroying their signs, kicking them over, ripping them up and screaming how she ‘didn’t want to pay for those people!’.
These abortion clinics are positioned in minority neighborhoods specifically to carry on Sanger’s eugenic Negro Project. Why don’t republicans point that out? They don’t because just like the crazy liberal pro-abortionist they don’t want to pay for them either.
