Pressed on an Abortion Ban, Donald Trump Sees a Penalty for Women [W:57]

Trump isn't a polished politician. He's not a lawyer either. He doesn't have the political filter or lie with ease like most politicians.


Cough, cough, casinos, cough, cough. Talk about polishing a turd.

It is hilarious to see all those that have complained for the past decade about do-nothing establishment politicians.

It's all Obama's fault!



Trump is an outsider and brings the change that can really help people.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Hook, line and bankruptcy!
He maybe a imperfect vessel, but it is sad seeing the anti-trump groups.

Yeah, seeing how he is uniting women, Hispanics, African americans, da joos, Muslims, etc. I'm tearing up here.


Who do they represent? The Status quo who support Islam over Christians?

Now we finally get to Bucky's point. It's the poor persecuted Christians!!!!! The War on Christmas!

Taking away our guns so the police office and drug offenders can attack us?

How many of your guns have been taken away Bucky? Oh wait. None!

Low wages to support all the illegal immigrants in our country?

Up is down, right is wrong, cats sleeping with dogs! Here's a clue for you, since you clearly don't have one. It's those who oppose Trump from the left that support higher wages Bucky.

Anti-Trumpers are goons


You mean like these guys?

American-rednecks.webp

doing the hatchet work for Goldman Sachs, wealthy lobbyists, and big corporations.

Clearly now you are confused. The one who's going after these guys is Bernie Sanders.

Try to keep up.
 
You mean the one you just admitted was true and that you really never read it anyway?


Thanks for the admission that you really had no clue about the issue at all, yet knew 'the media' was to blame by asking 'hypothetical questions'.

Given your thin veneer of comprehension about things you speak about, I would have pegged you for a Trump supporter.

Clearly, in your arrogant, pathetic need to insult other posters, you fail to understand even the words of a simpleton like Donald Trump. From your OP, there is no policy position presented by Trump that abortion should be illegal - he did, foolishly, say that he favoured a ban, with the States deciding - but when asked how that would look in practice, he said people would have to go to "illegal places" - that says to me that Trump was suggesting that if abortion was illegal, as Matthews asked, then women who wanted an abortion, you know, "people", would have to find illegal places as an option. When he had a follow up, he said in effect and plainly, that if a woman breaks the law, some punishment would be necessary. Break the law, you are punished if found guilty.

Perhaps even subtlety of the Trump variety goes right over your head as you look for ways to troll other posters.
 
Good morning TB

That's fair, although I didn't watch - can't stand the man, either man actually - so I don't know the context of that response. I don't think even the most strident of pro-life politicians is in favour of a blanket ban on abortion, so what he meant by "you have to ban it" is, like most nonsense he utters, open to interpretation and massage.

If this damages his electability, that would be terrific, but the other options aren't so great. If it boosts Kasich, that would be a miracle of biblical proportions and very welcome. All it may do, however, is make Hillary Clinton the next President.

Watch the video. There was no equivocation. NONE.
 
Trump did say "you have to ban it" when speaking to Matthews. To me that means he wants it to be illegal. He probably didn't mean it because the man has no real positions except those he thinks will get him elected, but when Matthews pressed him, he said it.

How can any legitimate candidate at this juncture not be prepared for being confronted about this issue and other hot potatoes? That should scare voters to hell.
 
Not surprised by your arrogant crap, given your posting record here.

To my knowledge, Donald Trump has never said that abortion should be illegal .

Like hell. Watch the video. He most certainly said it.



You can't polish this turd. It's a triple bowl ringer.
 
The list could go on and on. Everyone would say that both people deserve punishment for breaking a law. But when it's about abortion, suddenly one of the people breaking the law SHOULDN'T be punished

This, of course, is Trump's problem. He hasn't paid enough attention over the years to know what you and don't say, what the pretzel logic is that GOP politicians are supposed to follow to sound sane.

He just knows the axioms and slogans from which the GOP proceeds. If asked a question on the spot, he just logically works out the implications of the GOP's axioms and voices them. Only later does he find out that the GOP isn't supposed to voice the implications of their own rhetoric because then they sound grotesque.
 
I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory and it is but... it seems to me that Trumps history is based on liberal policies. Until he started running as a "Republican". When it all "changed". I'm very seriously wondering if he isn't a patsy for the democrats. Whether they know he's a patsy or not, he seems to be doing is level best in seeming to be completely bat guano crazy. Yet he's doing it in such a way as to appeal to enough people to make him seem "serious". I doubt very seriously the Democrats know about any of this, (though honestly I wouldn't put it past Hillary to be "in" on it). I think he's doing it just to hurt republicans enough to get them unelectable.

And yeah, I know "why would he spend millions just to help someone else get elected". Could be that he absolutely hates Republicans. Could also be that he's doing this to get some handy dandy payouts later on down the road by Hillary. Which she is known for...

Frankly, this CT is the only thing that makes what Trump is doing even remotely understandable.

This.

Trump is a RINO and the fact that people can't do some basic research into his liberal history to see right through him is terribly sad.

What disturbs me is that if the CT is true then the establishment is far more powerful and clever than anyone knows, and there's not much hope for democracy.
 
Watch the video. There was no equivocation. NONE.

They played a more extended clip this morning, he was asked numerous times, and asked about what kind of punishment for women numerous times. He was not stammering, he was not confused, he did not mis-speak.

The Trump fans wet themselves over how direct he is, but this time, he was direct and yet "he misspoke" Hypocrisy, they are soaking in it.
 
Like hell. Watch the video. He most certainly said it.

In this video Trump clearly said "you have to ban it" no equivocation.

He clearly said that women have to be punished, asked a few times, no equivocation.

He found out afterwards, he created a sh**storm of resistance from all sides, and just like Trump, he then lied and said he made a mis-statement. BS.

So, now we are not to believe his actual words? Bizzaro land ahead...

He is a joke, and a con artist, and he had duped a lot of fools out there.

LOL.

You're right. He didn't say he would outlaw it. He only said he would ban it and make it illegal.

I guess I missed that 'subtle distinction'.

Kudos for going to the wall of ridiculousness to defend your statement that the question was 'hypothetical' and he should have never been in a discussion about a policy that he advocates.

For those of us who didn't see it don't leave us hanging, what were his answers?
 
That's God doing that. I wonder when the far-right evangelicals are going to get on His case about that.

And they love to ignore that saint Ronald is the one person in the country who made abortion legal in the most populous state in the country....
 
If someone illegally buys prescription drugs from a doctor, should that person be punished? Or should only the doctor be punished?

If someone knowingly acquires stolen goods, should that person be punished? Or just the person who stole the goods?

If someone buys heroin from a drug dealer on the corner, should that person be punished? Or just the drug dealer?


The list could go on and on. Everyone would say that both people deserve punishment for breaking a law. But when it's about abortion,
suddenly one of the people breaking the law SHOULDN'T be punished???

sigh...

The idiotic liberal influence on our country has indeed worked it's destructive magic.



The moral of the story...

If you are a politician, always refuse to answer a dumbass hypothetical question.



You can't break a law that doesn't exist.
 
Watch the video.....its on the thread.

I already watched the one you posted.
It was edited and I didn't catch his answers to the numerous times you said he was asked about kinds of punishment.
I heard him say once it was complicated and difficult and he didn't know the answer.
What were his other answers about the types of punishment that wasn't in the video you posted?

He didn't have an answer to what kind of punishment...but he clearly stated he wanted punishment. Just like he clearly stated he would "ban it" when asked about abortion.

How does spreading hate and fear help anyone in the USA?

Fill us in.
 
Ya back-peddled within hours! Can you imagine how much trouble his mouth will get us in?
