In conventional conservative doctrine, the mainstream press and much of the new media are little more than arms of Democratic Party officialdom. Also, bigotry and misogyny are no longer widespread problems, in the rights tellingand to the extent that they still exist, they are no more prevalent on the right than on the left.
In their efforts to stop Trump, conservatives have sidelined these and other premises about American political culture, so that the generic liberal critique of conservatism might be deployed against him and him alone.

Out of context...His actual statement was, “...they ALSO do good work...”
Ifinnegan, what you are doing isn’t working.
You’re just looking more like a plant each day.
Cruz has done something we couldn’t, even if that was our initial goal, which it wasn’t.
Ted has revealed himself to be a GOPe inside man.
I seriously doubt he cares what you think...
You might want to read this. It kind of destroys the left and GOPe's overall false narrative of Trump:

Cruzers on Free Republic: here's your song, here's your people, here's your cultural and mental level.

They sure are and it’s pathetic to witness. Never be the same after this election.
Since when are secure borders, fiscal responsibility, strengthening the military and rebuilding the strength of America "canards of the left"?
PP does the same as many other clinics including free clinics.
We are not asking the question here of whether PP should be shutdown, they should be shutdown but that’s not the question.
The question is ‘are there any good things’ that happen in the PP clinic hellholes, and the answer is yes. There are a few good things, hardly enough for them to be funded by taxpayers.
So Trump was technically right. But his position against abortion is solid and he calls for defunding PP if they continue to do abortions.
Believe it or not, there are a substantial number of women who believe PP does good things besides abortion. It would be foolish for a political candidate to flip a finger at those women even though the candidate is strongly against abortion on demand and against funding PP if they continue to do abortions on demand.
So Trump’s position is the correct one both politically and morally.
Trump did not backtrack. His view of abortion began to change in 2010 and has solidified since. Like many Americans, he had a superficial view of the life of the unborn and he has come around. This is no different than what happens to thousands and thousands of Americans each day.
In speech after speech, press conference after conference, question after question, Donald Trump has stood strongly for life and for protection of the unborn.
Not really when you look at the situation as a whole, unless you want to be blind to reality. Trump is the only taking all the punches from the Dem party, the GOPe, the enemedia, the Wall St cronies, etc, as well as the Cruz campaign. They are all on the same page against Trump. You may not want to see that but that is the reality of the situation.

Only two words are needed to confirm Cruz is owned by the GOPe:
“Neil Bush”
Trump supports Kelo. Period. End of story.
There is no criticism of Trump that precludes the existence of black racists.
Boogieman said
“Planned Parenthood has done very good work for many, many for millions of women”
First Trump is Pro-Life, he did not used to be but even the biggest establishment boot licker on here cannot dispute Trumps position is Pro-life now.
So what is Planned parenthood able to do without the ability to do Abortions in all those locations strategically located in poor minority communities?
Smart people do not throw out the baby with the bath water....
Bottom line. Its dishonest to take what he said as meaning he is supporting Abortion - which is the false underlying basis Trump’s detractors use for the histrionics on this issue.
As a Cruz supporter, you have a right to be bitter and angry. Your guy is losing badly.
Consider this for a moment: Trump is neither a liberal nor a bona-fide member of a conservative party; he is his own third party. I’m holding my nose, waiting for the fall-out.
Funny, I don't see that on his Positions page:

Lol.
As a developer he does what developers do every day in their work, try to entice ‘eyesore’ owners to sell, and if that doesn’t work, work with the community to use eminent domain.
Trump offered that stupid woman Vera Coking, called stupid by her own family, offered twice more at nearly $2 million for her eyesore, but she had to show the fat cats something. She showed them how stupid she was and how awful she treated the youth of her own family who would have been raised several notches in society had she done the smart thing.
Did she have a right to not sell? Of course she did. But today her family shakes their heads wondering if she had a right to be so stupid. After she died, they couldn’t sell her lot for $250,000 after the RE crash.
Most families have a crazy aunt like Vera, stupid and stubborn. Most of them understand that such relatives are a frustrating embarrassment.
Trump was gracious to that stupid woman. She won her case because he would no longer support his Atlantic City partners in trying to condemn her property via Eminent Domain.
But Jeb! shut up real quick about Trump and Coking because his family was also doing the same in lay plans to build Bush stadium.
And republicans in Congress also shut up real quick about it because the Keystone Pipeline is also of the same situation.
So go ahead and stick some Kelo up your butt about Trump. Your kind are so few, they could only help a long lost Cruz delegate sleeping under a rock in Wyoming.
