He said PP’s procedures regarding pap smears, mammograms, etc. were good for women’s health but NOT ABORTION. He has said this many, many times in the press, TV, rallies, but his enemies like to twist it to his somehow supporting abortion.
I was disappointed in Ted tonight, that he stooped to use Donald’s statements on PP as implying support for abortion. That was a lie and Donald was right for calling him out on it. Ted’s counter was lame.
I am rethinking my preference for a Trump-Cruz ticket. In light of Antonin Scalia’s death, I am thinking Ted should be his replacement. I am thinking Donald should pick Ben Carson as his running mate because Ben is gentle and he is intelligent. He will be perfect to counter Donald’s grizzly nature which is perceived as ‘bulliness’ by the elderly and meek. I personally like Donald’s grizzly nature and think it’s what the country needs now, but Ben would soften the image of the ticket.
But Ted has devoted his whole life to one day becoming President, but his time has not yet come. If he was Donald’s VP, he could provide a conservative influence to keep Donald on the right track. He would also be groomed to be the next President after Donald.
In either case, Donald needs to pick a running mate that will bring enough GOP delegates to head off an attempt at a brokered convention. He needs about 54% of delegates to do that.
The problem about all the other things PP does is mostly they don’t. Call PP and tell them you need a mammogram and they will REFER you to some place that does mammograms. You may or may not be able to get a pap smear done. Very, very few of the PP clinics offer much in the way of women’s health services other than abortion and birth control. They are dependant on doctors spending time away from their practices to offer these services, so a woman never has a relationship with a specific doctor - the care at best is limited and inconsistent.
What PP does best and most is abortion. The public funding would be better spent on properly staffed women’s clinics that offer full services.
There is no chance that will happen now ...
You and I are on the same page. If Trump..or any candidate had said they’d name Cruz to the Supreme Court, I think it would have defused a lot of the rancor at that moment.
Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms:

They are an abortion mill that pretends to care about the health of women, excluding of course the women they are murdering in the womb.
I’ll give Trump the credit of doubt and say that he is ill-informed. I actually believe that since it is evident he is the most ill-informed person who has run for President in my life time. He is also the most arrogant, with the exception perhaps of Obama. Of course, he has successfully “winged it” to date with the attitude of “I’m Trump, I can do anything”.
One of my favorite movie line of all time is: “A man’s got to know his limitations”. Trump gives no indication that he even cares about his level of ignorance and that scares the heck out of me given his temperament and the power we would be giving him.
“He said PP’s procedures regarding pap smears, mammograms, etc. were good for women’s health but NOT ABORTION”
I’ll take him at his word that he’s changed his mind about abortion.
Maybe he’s confused about how to explain what he means, I don’t know. But I do feel he needs to come out with a statement and clarify his position ...
Because logically, I’m not able to compartmentalize what PP does as being mostly good with a little bit of evil on the side, and I hope that isn’t what he meant. Again, he needs to clarify this.
PP should not be given a pass and excused by anyone, especially by a presidential candidate who desires to lead this country to be great again. IMO, the ongoing butchering of our babies is the major reason why we’re not great.
PP is evil, hiding under the guise of “women’s health” as a perverse cloak. None of us would ever give any other murderer a pass, give them monetary support, nor would we defend them by saying that they’re otherwise a good person and should not be held accountable for butchering their victim.

Absolutely brilliant!! I agree.
By the way, do you think there is a chance Trump would choose someone outside of the current pack of contenders for VP? If so, who?
After all, with all he’s said about Cruz, he can’t choose Cruz as it would make Trump seem like a fool and the Demorats will have many anti-Cruz soundbytes by Trump to use against them in the general election.
The delusion of you from people fantasizing about a Trump-Cruz ticket is beyond wacko.
Trumps says that Cruz in not a natural born citizen.
You have the liberal talking points on PP down pat.
