Instead of rising above it all, and explaining his own vision, Cruz is like a jackal, always ready to move in and get his little piece of the action. Or he’s like the little wimpy member of the gang who, after the rival is knocked out, moves in and gives him a kick.
Exactly. There was a time when I was leaning towards Cruz. I don’t know when exactly I decided on Trump, but there was a little doubt in my mind...until Cruz came out and spoke after the Chicago protests shut down Trump’s rally. I was disgusted with how he put blame on Trump. That shut the door on Cruz for me.
” Speaking of ‘talking about the law’ - the current ‘law’ says abortion is just fine and dandy...”
That’s right, but I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.
“All I’m saying is that most women are not culpable because of ignorance and coercion.”
So all a woman has to do is claim ignorance or have a conviction that the thing in her uterus is a clump of cells and she’s home free?
“... then of course that person should be accountable in some manner.”
And in exactly what manner should she be accountable?
Trump projecting a New York liberal’s idea of what conservatives want.
I agree with Trump but major mistake for him to put it out there. Not in today’s climate.
Accurate and Cruz at age 44 is a culturally collaterally contaminated CBGBs punk rocker compared to the judgmental Donald Trump at age 69. Hopefully the boldness of Donald's old school will prevail.
amen
I am a 48 yr old woman, who 20+ yrs ago had an abortion. I heard this comment from TRUMP AND WAS 100% IN AGREEMENT. Why are people saying shes a victim ? Like she has no brain to understand she is killing a human. iF WE GO UP THE LADDER OF THE BLAME GAME WHERE DOES IT STOP.. Unless a woman is taken to a abortion clinic at gunpoint and chained down shes just as guilty. THIS COMES FROM A WOMAN WHO REGRETFULLY DID IT...
EXACTLY,
Personally I’m voting for the nominee. But Trump is behaving as though he aims to throw this election. That kind of old school would be disastrous.
coerces ? REALLY ? I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANY NEWS FROM THE PAST DECADES OF WOMEN BEING TAKEN AT GUNPOINT TO ABORTION CLINICS. THIS IS COMING FROM A WOMAN WHO shamefully had an abortion 20 + yrs ago.... ITS MURDER MURDER MURDER... ! Thankfully i find forgiveness through my Faith in Jesus christ.
HOw about we put the question this way.
A woman is in her third trimester. She has no money, or has money, and goes into labor. She is dilated. The baby’s head has crowned. She fined a retired abortion doctor, or mid wife, or anyone, who performs a late term abortion, essentially severing the baby’s head from it’s body, then the baby is delivered.
As far as I know, this is illegal. I believe SAnders and Clinton are for this under any circumstance.
So, the correct answer is, TO NOT PUNISH THE MOTHER OR THE PERSON PERFORMING THE ABORTION?
I Stayed up all night watching Cruz filibuster. I sent in photos here of him being like Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
Now, I can’t stand to listen to him, and I even believe that all that bluster on the stump in Washington, was an act.
I think that man cheated on his wife, most definitely, got caught, and now he thinks this is going to go away.
Remember, I’ve predicted that by Friday, the truth will have come out on this.
I agree. Isn't a woman less likely to reject abortion if she's told that she's a victim and she didn't commit a crime?
Meanwhile, they'll cyber-shout me down if I say a woman who with 48 hours (or so) reports a rape or incest situation should have the option of having a potential pregnancy terminated. Think about what I'm suggesting...this is a woman who really is a victim, it makes "rape and incest" exclusions unnecessary, and it infinitely increases the chances that the attacker is convicted.
Trump's statement exposed a very inconvenient truth. That is that the pro-life argument is being framed by the other side to some degree.
I don't fault Trump. He strives to be a spokesperson for pro-life advocates. He inadvertently gave a wake-up call that they've taken some uncomfortable steps, giving up some principle for a perceived victory.
Flame away, folks!
Lesson to Trump: Never answer a hypothetical question. I know you are learning on the fly and you are not a politician BUT... really, you don’t ever answer a hypothetical question.
I really wish we would know one way or the other about the affair. The media will hold onto this until the general if there is an affair, that’s for sure.
Based on your post 39, Trump got ambushed with several agressive followup questions.
It will be a state matter if Roe-v-Wade is overturned.
But he’s no lawyer.
[Shrug.]
I am quite sure that it happened a few years ago. I think the guy engages in foreplay and mind play with his women, esp Amanda CArpenter.
IF he didn’t have an affair, then he sure is stupid.
I’m single, and I have one rule. YOu don’t flirt with anyone, unless you’re willing to go all the way. Talk is cheap. I get the feeling this guy, gets his kicks flirting, kinda like O Reilly would do.
I think his marriage went through a tough time, and it’s behind them now, and the sad thing is, that things might actually be very good at home for Heidi and the girls, but now this has caused a rip.
IN SUMMARY, I FULLY EXPECT CRUZ TO COME FORTH VERY SOON WITH A HAND RINGING ADMISSION THAT THERE WAS AN AFFAIR, IT TORE UP THE MARRIAGE, BUT THROUGH COUNSELING AND PRAYER THEY ARE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
I’m not happy about this, but when you choose to run you choose to take the slings and arrows.
