Sorry, but I think you’re naive. When someone changes a publicly announced moral judgment— and that’s what this is— they give a reason. Usually its a religious reason. Trump has said nothing about how/why he changed his tune during campaign season.
Thank you very much for supporting a good cause I very much believe in. But if Trump is elected, I think you’re going to be hurt.
Trump claims to have had his pro-life epiphany when some friends were considering abortion, decided against it, and they ended up having a terrific kid. I’m going on memory, so I’m a little fuzzy on the details, except for the fact that the kid who was not aborted was determined by Trump to be a “terrific kid.”
Considering that kind of reasoning, one can only ask: if the kid had been not so terrific, e.g., low I.Q., autistic, rebellious, deaf/blind/lame, undisciplined, lazy, etc., would Trump have had the “epiphany” he had. Or would he still be thinking that pro-abortion, yea, even partial-birth abortion was the right position? After all, who wants to have to put up with those inconveniences when you can just eliminate them before they even manifest?
Just not buying his reasoning.
Factor in all the free publicity from fox and the rest of the media.
He was on fox >2x as much as Cruz, factor that as an in kind contributation.
So he ‘spent’ a lot.
Yes...he received it for free..maybe it plays into his strategy and why he sensationalizes everything to his benefit. The media responds with out asking for a fee. Not his fault, but smart business. Maybe he will do a little bit more partnering with American business to make a dent into the deficit and aid more investment into the American people, than raping the individual taxpayer.
I’m trying not to be judgmental when someone/whoever says they have changed their mind about abortion. There are many who have come late to the Pro-Life cause and I applaud all of them for helping in anyway they are able.
I’m not going to be disappointed in any politician because I have little faith in any of them doing 100% of an agenda that unfolded during a campaign for office. They all disappoint over time. Even Ronald Reagan.
I only have one issue that is motivating my vote for Mr. Trump.
