Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump defended federal funding to Planned Parenthood during Saturday night's presidential debate in South Carolina and also did not back away from his past support of impeaching former President George W. Bush.
At times during the debate, the discussion led to very heated back-and-forth exchanges between candidates, most of which involved the billionaire real estate mogul who currently leads by wide margins in most South Carolina Republican nomination polls.
After Trump used former President Ronald Reagan to defend himself as "flexible" for changing his mind on certain issues like abortion and his views on Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz chimed in by suggesting that Trump has been too flexible on things that should be "core principles" for conservatives and pro-lifers.

Trump responded by saying, "It does do wonderful things but not as it relates to abortion."

“I think Trump will not let us down.”
He already let me down. I would really like to hear him say when he is president Planned Parenthood will not get one more tax dollar.
Not that gullible here, I hope. Not that easily fooled by slick tycoon talk and red meat for the war weary masses fed up with Obongo and therefore with a short-sighted prediction to abandon good due diligence and honest common sense when choosing a leader. I hope instead to follow the (donation) money this man has given.
