Donald Trump is terrible on some very important issues....

Trump:

"I support a woman’s right to choose, but I am uncomfortable with the procedures. When Tim Russert asked me on Meet the Press if I would ban partial-birth abortion, my pro-choice instincts led me to say no. After the show, I consulted two doctors I respect and, upon learning more about this procedure, I have concluded that I would support a ban." ( Jul 2, 2000)

"I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on health. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to 42 million. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare. Our objective [should be] to make reforms for the moment and, longer term, to find an equivalent of the single-payer plan that is affordable, well-administered, and provides freedom of choice. Possible? The good news is, yes. There is already a system in place-the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program-that can act as a guide for all healthcare reform. It operates through a centralized agency that offers considerable range of choice. While this is a government program, it is also very much market-based. It allows 620 private insurance companies to compete for this market. Once a year participants can choose from plans which vary in benefits and costs." Source: ( Jul 2, 2000)

Maybe he'll flip.

You have cited ten-year old interviews. You should read his more recent comments. On abortion, he's already flipped. The quote on the Human Events's webpage reiterates what he said recently on the radio programs of Michael Savage and Laura Ingraham.

Really, it won't take you more than a minute to read the quotes at the link I provided. If you're not a reader there's a video of the interview at the Human Events' website. It runs about 30 minutes and is broken up into 5-minute segments if you are pressed for time.
