I agree.
Now I am really sad to have to agree with your statement that Trump has blown it.
I just heard on the bottom of the hour news that Trump is saying he misspoke, and that if abortion was illegal, the doctor would be held to account, and the woman would be considered a victim.
IMO, just like Ted Cruz, he is now not leading but rather pandering.
This is terrible.
Abortion is never going to be dealt with, because the left will demagogue, and politicians are not leaders, they are followers.
I am dismayed ;/
