Is it potientially disqualifying?
I don't think so, and hope not.
Do you think the GOP will accept it? Or Trump's evangelical supporters?
Why is this even still an issue?
The Supreme Court isn't going to overturn it.
Let's ****ing move on to things that actually matter.
Exactly. We need to be focused on ACTUAL issues in this country, such as what outfit Kim Kardashian was wearing today.

Nothing is ever a settled issue, when all it takes is a few appointments to the bench to turn things around. We saw it with Plessy v Ferguson, Brown v Board of Education, and Roe v Wade itself. We're seeing the same now with the attempt by the progressives to overturn Heller and McDonald regarding the 2nd Amendment, and Hillary is campaigning on doing just that with her appointments to the Supreme Court.
If the left can remove the protections of the 2nd Amendment by appointing judges to overturn Heller and McDonald and the other cases supporting the right to keep and bear arms, then the right can do the same thing with Roe v Wade.
Both the left and the right are wrong in wanting to do so, IMHO.

It's such a huge waste of time and resources, at least over this issue.
It's been fought out, we know where everyone stands.
Time to move on for now, let it die for a while.
Trump has evangelical supporters? Damn, I thought Trump was an amoral atheist.
I suppose all the fallen evangelicals might find a kindred soul in Trump but I don't think I've seen or heard Trump refer to religion once, other than his clear hatred of Muslims and the Islamic faith.
BTW, I'll be surprised if Trump lasts to and through the November election. The man looks and sounds exhausted and on the verge of a heart attack or stroke or some other medical emergency.

I may in fact be voting for Trump (if he chooses Flynn for VP - only if he chooses Flynn for VP).
So in reality I will be voting for Flynn.
Well, first of all, there's no such thing as a disqualifying trait for Trump among his supporters. That said, and purely for the sake of argument, even if there was it wouldn't be abortion. The primary, driving concerns among his supporters is 1)Fear of "others" (non whites and non Americans), which breaks down into immigrants and terrorism, 2)hatred of Political Correctness, and 3)their lack of voice in a system that has disenfranchised them. Where most people have gone wrong is in assuming that because they're conservatives, they must therefore hold to traditionally social conservatives values, including topics surrounding abortion and faith in general, when in fact those issues tend to be of secondary and even tertiary concern for them.

Oh absolutely! *suppressing gag reflex* :lamo
Agreed, I said as much above, and the same applies to the 2nd Amendment as well.
