The point of this article for me is that Trump assessed and understands the culture. He simultaneous must fight the establishment IN ORDER to become president and re-focus the nation politically (domestic and international), economically, and socially. I personally accept brash truth than soothing lies. The fight is long and hard against his plitical foes as well as those hurting conservatives that have given up trust... unless the candidate falsely misuses conservative language to deceive the public, i.e. evangelical Cruz

The fate of the unborn is inextricably caught up in the fate of the born.

Do not thumb your nose at the latter and expect any effort at the former to be taken seriously.

Then why are you here? Wouldn’t you be happier at another site? Because it is going to be Trump vs Hillary.

The Church (all of Christianity - Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox) has opposed the killing of the unborn since it’s birth. It has taught against this evil doctrine since the beginning of the Church. This includes influencing politicians and voters to establish laws against the murder of the innocent.

It has only been recently that the evil has become so wide spread that it now allows for and even promotes the murder.

Nothing, since he said - just yesterday - he’d change the R platform on the issue.

> The difference between us is that I recognize the unborn as being alive.

There is no difference between us on that point.

The real difference between us is that I do not look to government to be their savior.

Sounds like justification to do nothing and that is not a position I am willing to take. Again, wickedness is seeing evil and doing nothing to stop it.

I don’t look to the government to be the savior either. I just want to stop the laws enacted by the government that enable evil by murdering the unborn.

In other words, you have to have a FIGHTER who WILL take the fight to his opponent. The Donald can do it.

Grammar police: ‘Intellectual’ and ‘Trump’ don’t belong in the same sentence.

Those two statements contradict each other.

Either you are looking for a government-based solution or you are not. Pick one.

My father: Total patriot, WWII vet, &TRUE t ithing Christian (yet owning only one suit with holes in the soles of his church shoes would say:

“You cannot legislate morality. I am NOT voting for a minister. God is the judge over each one of us. I votre for the person I can trust”

I trust Trump. Also, Trump’s naughty language does not bother me as my blue-collar principled father also used salty language. :D

People that know Trump well say he is a man of his word, honorable and loves America.

The people that know him well are family, employees, or sychophants. That aside, when are we to assume he's true to his word?

Was it the time he said he was for universal healthcare, or repeal Obamacare?

How about when he criticized Romney's immigration plan in 2012, or should we believe his now?

Perhaps we should take his word when he said he identified as Democrat in 2004, or should we believe him now that he filed as a Republican candidate.

See if you can answer that without, "well, Cruz said....." because that's irrelevant.

You cannot answer rhetoric (name calling) with dialectics (fact-based search for the truth).

Rhetoric (”sexist, racist, anti-gay”) is just a punch in the face. The only productive response is to punch back twice as hard.

If you fall into dialectics (”democrats are the real racists”), you inspire only contempt, and your defeat is certain.

I fail to see how that addresses the question you asked.

Nope. It’s Biden/Warren. A little bird told me.

And why was the question even put to Donald? He is not in any plausible place to do any good. Last I heard, presidents weren’t expected to champion state laws.

It was a Townhall. The viewer/audience question was:

“Mr. Trump, please be specific. Tell us your views on LGBT, how you plan to be inclusive as president. Speak about North Carolina bathroom law in particular,"
