Nice try. Trump personally against abortions since 2000, would revisit the limits and allow only early abortions for rape or life of the mother. A significant step forward. Vowed to defund PP if they continue doing abortions.
Partial birth abortions in 1999 Trump was pressured that if he was pro-choice then PBA must be OK. The experience caused him to search his heart and make the statement within a few months that he has said something he didn’t believe and he made a statement that he was against PBSA and didn’t agree with abortions personally. It was the beginning of his journey to pro-life, which has been a consistent path.
Tax the rich. Trump wants to fix the inequities in the tax code that allow the rich to avoid being taxed while the poor & middle class are taxed at a higher effective rate. Hedge fund operators etc.
Touchback Amnesty. This is an untrue characterization of Trump’s position. Trump says we will allow back the illegal immigrants that are in America’s best interest and that they may have to wait a significant time. While it feels satisfying to think that we can root out 20-30 million people and send them packing I think that getting out the criminals, the ones on welfare and those who are unwilling to commit to America would be a good start. Getting them out of the shadows and paying taxes would also improve our bottom line as would making English our official language and requiring its use in schools & driving.
Tranny bathrooms. Another false characterization. Trump said nothing that was wrong. He said that the creation of a third type of bathroom would be a large & unnecessary expense and that there were laws on the books to protect against people who misused bathrooms. There have obviously been transvestites using opposite sex bathrooms for decades and as long as they looked and acted the part who knew or cared. What is the recourse, strip searches, ID chips? I don’t want the Government patrolling the bathrooms. We are creating problems where we have been dealing with the situations already. The problem isn’t Trump its the politically correct hacks who cave and ignore the rights of the majority.
Single payer healthcare. In 2000 Trump said that SPHC had worked in Scotland and Canada but wouldn’t work in America. At one point Trump suggested that a system modeled on the Senate healthcare system, with it >60 offerings could have worked in America, but in 2004 said that the time for that had passed if it had ever been possible.
Trump’s healthcare plan like most of the foregoing is well outlined on his website and in quotes on the website On The Issues. His plan is private health insurance with an emphasis on HSA, bid across state lines. He wants to have a Medicare/Medicaid like plan for the indigent.
So did you really think that no one on FR would punch your ticket with your laundry list of half truths and total Mischaracterizations or did you just let the media tell you what to believe instead of doing the legwork to find the candidates positions over the years?
