We’ve been slowing losing this country to the lefts incrementalism approach for decades.


I’m not arguing about the rest of your post...
My disagreement with you is...since we have been losing this country to the left for decades...how is it that we should support someone who is agreeing with the left on some of these issues?

1. Changing the party’s platform...there was no one calling for this...but just because Trump suggested it...and could lose votes over it suddenly “conservatives” think it’s a good idea to change it???
2. Tax the rich????
3. “Planned parenthood does some good things”????

I could go on...there is no need...
I’m not trying to argue...but since you pointed out the lefts incrementalism...how do we stop that by supporting someone whose ideas on certain things would necessarily lead the party and our country farther left??

The left did not get its hold on the country by proposing their extreme agenda up front

Think about it

It starts out small, “for the children” stuff

Then it went into turning every perversion in a “right”

and now we have “black lives matter” basically a hate group

And now we have criminals are good people

If they started out with the later first, they would have shut out decades ago

But they didn’t

They are smart

As for abortion, banning abortion but keeping the three exceptions is a fair compromise, you ban abortion from being a form of “birth control” and women can still chose to have their rapists babies. I know the purist don’t agree with me on this but sometimes you just have make common sense compromises to get the big picture done.

I do get where you’re coming from.

>>>1. Changing the party’s platform...there was no one calling for this...but just because Trump suggested it...and could lose votes over it suddenly “conservatives” think it’s a good idea to change it???
2. Tax the rich????
3. “Planned parenthood does some good things”????<<<

1. He was asked if the platform should be changed to reflect his position regarding exceptions. It has been his stance since he became a candidate. He simply avoided the Todd Aiken misstep.

Aiken is a good man, but he killed his chance to be in position to do anything at all.

2. Nothing new here. He has said all along that he will close the carried interest loophole. Overall, his tax plan substantially reduces taxes on high income earners. As it should be.

3. I’m in complete disagreement with him regarding Planned Parenthood. It’s a vile organization, that at the very least should have all taxpayer money withdrawn.

I truly pray that Trump can be persuaded that any support for Planned Parenthood should be withdrawn.
