Retired General Michael Flynn, a possible vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump, appeared on ABC's This Week on Sunday to discuss why he supports the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Transcript, via ABC News:

RADDATZ: You've been a registered Democrat, correct?
FLYNN: I grew up as a -- in a -- in a -- I grew up as a Democrat in a very strong Democratic family. But I will tell you that the Democratic Party that exists in this country is not the Democratic Party that I grew up around in my -- in my upbringing, not a

Didn’t he say in essence “Women should be allowed to KILL THEIR BABIES”!! He said “Choose”, but they are CHOOSING TO KILL THEIR BABIES!!
Lots of Democrats are realizing their party is now the Communist Party.
Trump can win big.
Flynn should not be the VP.

As I just posted in another thread:
I just figured out why Flynn won’t be VP. It’s all about book sales.
Remember when it looked like Colin Powell might run? Turns out it was just a book tour.
Remember when it looked like Sarah Palin might run? Turns out it was just a book tour.
Flynn’s book tour begins this week.
You’re nearly 100% right. But I can’t figure out if the Democrat Party is the Communist Party or the New World Fascist Party!
Jack and Bobby Kennedy would quit today’s Democrat party.
As if you believe there is any distinction at all. Both are socialist robbers and thieves and should be exterminated like roaches or rats.
Not much difference between the two.
The abortion issue? Too weak for my tastes, but perhaps the best we get, since it's REPUBLICAN judges that haven't supported conservative social issues. Besides that, Trump will be nominating the judges. The best we can do is to get this and other issues back to the state level with the feds getting out of our lives. That's where we'll turn things around.
What the country needs now is a proven leader who can bring people together. I don't see anyone else who can do that. Sessions? Yeah, but without him in the US Senate that disgusting group of backstabbers would be even further out of control, with no one to mentor the as yet not totally compromised more recent additions.
Flynn is a Democrat - VERY bad choice. Trump needs someone who will heal the GOP rift.
Put Flynn at DOD. Good choice. Not VP.
If Flynn ended up Vice President, he’s not going to be in a position to influence the issue of abortion any more than Barbara or Laura Bush was, and they were just as ‘pro-choice’.
Hillary is the Dem leader of the New World Odor.
“Trump needs someone who will heal the GOP rift.”
No.
No.
No.
Screw the GOP-e. What’s Trump supposed to do, pick Jeb! to make the establishment happy? All THEY’VE done is show their true colors - and they’re just as bad as the Democrats, only try and con us into thinking they’re on our side. They should be on the scrap-heap of history until the end of time, NOT given a VP slot so they can hope to get in power again.
I know just about all FReepers are pro-life. Would I prefer a strong pro-life ticket? Yes.
You know what I would like more? A winning ticket.
What I mean by that is Trump has the best chance to win.
Trump has already laid out the SCOTUS judges he would appoint, all vetted by the Federalist Society - a very conservative group. He even asked Ted Cruz for help in identifying more conservative judges when they met this week. So Trump’s doing well enough for me on the judge issue.
Getting a strong military person as VP (also strong on RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM) is not a bad move.
With regard to abortion:
Step 1 - Get Trump in the White House
Step 2 - Trump appoints conservative judges from his list to wind up with 6 or more conservative justices. (Can’t rely on Kennedy for anything other than stupidity)
Step 3 - Roe v. Wade is revisited.
Step 4 - Abortion is determined to be a states’ issue to decide on a state-by-state basis.
Then we can get the progress we desire one state at a time.
Whining about whether a particular VP candidate is 100% conservative on every issue gets us nowhere, imo.
Yup.
"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."
"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
-- The U.S. Constitution
Sorry, it's not optional. All human governments exist, before anything else, to provide equal protection for the God-given, unalienable, individual right to life.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."
Yeah, we get it. Don’t worry. Flynn’s position in a Trump administration will be connected with the Defense Department.
Trivializing genocide.
How low the GOP has sunk.
