What are the ethics implications if he does win. I believe the accepted practice is that the wealth of the incoming president is placed in a blind trust, though maybe for some it is more like a wink wink trust.
They’d lose the capability of doing referrals
I don’t play the personal in primaries
All that Palin blood soured me
I enjoy watching Trump fight back
None of them are what we want
Honestly
Cruz is best but his H1b screed is crazy
Carson....nice guy but ain’t happening
Fiorina. No thanks
That’s about it
Well see
Abby is right that's almost verbatim what Trump said on Hannity, I think Tuesday night.
The problem with that idea, and also what he said that started this thread ("Abortions are only a small part of what they do") is that it shows a lack of understanding of what "Planned Parenthood" is all about. Abortions aren't a "small" part of what they do, it's one of if not the chief cash cow for them. And as has been pointed out the money they are given each year is quite fungible so they could just use other monies they receive from sources like private donations (make no mistake they get millions from that too) for the abortions and "not use" federal money "for abortion".
The only real solution to PP is to stop giving them any money at all. Let them survive on donations and other revenue streams (although that might not be a good idea, seeing as how they raise money recently). A true (social) conservative would say this. Like Ted Cruz.
Again as I said before on this topic Trump should understand this "fungible" concept as a businessman. And he's obviously not educating himself about PP either.
But hey, he makes good theater. Maybe that's what the country needs right now, I dunno.
That goes for all his positions. His only principle is how this (pick the position) will advance Donald Trump.
“Running cover for your baby parts distributing service supporter by trying to derail the thread with some poll talk. Democrats never change their spots.”
Trying to spin words that were never said. Trump Derangement Syndrome Sufferers never change.
But TDS is extremely entertaining. So I look forward to the next thread. Probably something along the lines of TRUMP SKIPS CHURCH VISIT, IS HE THE ANTICHRIST?!
Like you who is twisting Trump’s position? Don’t make me laugh. Below is his statement from Tuesday(you can go research yourself):
“the biggest problem I have with Planned Parenthood is the abortion situation,” he said. “It’s like an abortion factory. You can’t have it and you shouldn’t be funding it and that should not be funded by the government.”
Pretty straight forward to me and does not require multiple threads to discuss what he didn’t say.
Ok, so what if Trump is ignorant about this and someone clues him in, and he says, I had no idea Planned Parenthood solely did abortions, and they should be completely cutoff.
Would that change your view of Trump on this issue?
I give Trump some benefit of the doubt, one of the things about not being a career politician is that in the beginning he is going to wrong on some things, and be misinformed here and there, it comes with the territory.
I have plenty of time to determine if he really is POTUS-worthy, for now I am totally on his side as he wages battle against the GOPe.
*sigh*
Exactly right. Cruz has been calling for the defunding of PP all along...no qualifications, no conditions. He understands the truth about that hellpit.
Wow.
