I heard him say that Trump was against the XL Keystone pipeline. I thought Google would come up with a link but no luck, interesting. When asked what three things the Gov’t should be responsible for, Trump was caught off guard and said, um, security, healthcare, and education. This position is definitely not conservative. It’s a good question and should have been brought up in previous debates. When I think about it, Gov’t is charged with providing for the common defense, and general welfare. As a true-blue conservative I see that as assuring the free flow of commerce and free markets, and foriegn policy, that’s it. Education should be handled at the state and local level and healthcare should be left to the private sector to ensure innovation and lower cost. Trump is suggesting that he likes Gov’t control of healthcare and that’s is not conservative. I forgot about immigration, Cruz likes the idea of a wall and would hire Trump to build it. We need to secure our borders, it’s paramount. Without secure borders our great country risks losing its identity as “American.”

I found links about Trump’s position on the XL Keystone Pipeline but he’s consistently nebulous, hmm. I swear to God I heard him clearly say he was against it in a rally, maybe two months ago, but the media is not reporting it. Something about “We don’t need Canada.”

Republicans need to take a course in answering the abortion questions. Chris Matthews clearly hit Trump with a trick question. It’s very simple, I am pro-life. I know that abortion is legal in this country based on a SCOTUS decision, pulling a rabbit out of its hat with the 14th amendment. I still belive it’s a states rights issue but what can we do. The best solution that states are implementing now is to limit abortion to before the point of viability, ~20 weeks. After the, the unborn can survive outside of the womb and I say it’s wrong. Let the liberal have “rape or incest” where the statistics say 0.1% of abortions, sadly most are incest, from family memebers, check the stats. But please give us pro-life supported the 20 weeks maximum time. I know it’s a compromise but it helps to protect the rights of the unborn. I hope this helps, HTH.

PS Cruz wins in Wisconsin, great. I pray he wins in NY and CA. Miracles do happen.
