To: Above My Pay Grade

No one is more Pro Life than me. While I am also of the opinion a baby conceived through rape or incest is innocent and should be protected, I also understand that is viewed as an extreme position to the vast majority of people.

An exception for life of the mother is reasonable. Not health of the mother since that simply is a loophole.

This issue alone, along with Cruz’s tent revival speaking style makes him unelectable in the America of 2016.

We’ve been slowing losing this country to the lefts incrementalism approach for decades. Lets work first on getting legislation passed and upheld that forbids partial birth abortion. Then after viability.

I have no doubt that Trump would sign a partial birth abortion ban.

I would add that if we don't elect someone who might actually stop uncontrolled immigration and dependency on government, all elections will be lost for your children and grand children. The folks who embrace obvious attempts to use wedge issues to ensure the one candidate who might arrest the destruction of America as we know it and who actually might be able to win, by staying home in the general, or continuing to support a dishonest, unelectable candidate because he pretends to be pious, are just as responsible as the hard leftist for helping to further the leftist objectives. Trump has been clear on justices he would appoint. Of course he would sign incremental legislation such as a partial birth abortion ban. He is obviously not a committed leftist ideolog like Hillary or Bernie, it's fear mongering on the right to try to cast him as such.

I’m not arguing about the rest of your post...
My disagreement with you is...since we have been losing this country to the left for decades...how is it that we should support someone who is agreeing with the left on some of these issues?

1. Changing the party’s platform...there was no one calling for this...but just because Trump suggested it...and could lose votes over it suddenly “conservatives” think it’s a good idea to change it???
2. Tax the rich????
3. “Planned parenthood does some good things”????

I could go on...there is no need...
I’m not trying to argue...but since you pointed out the lefts incrementalism...how do we stop that by supporting someone whose ideas on certain things would necessarily lead the party and our country farther left??
