Re: 2016 Election
Can Trump manage to become any more repulsive and outlandish?
His daily outrage one-upsmanship with himself brings this pronouncement from Mr. Donald today:
He's not only pro-life, but were Roe v. Wade to be overturned, he'd advocate punishment of any woman who'd circumvent a change in law and undergo an abortion.
He said he hadn't decided what the punishment should be yet.
How 'bout 'cliterectomy'?
Fit the punishment to the crime!

Re: 2016 Election
It was a little off putting to hear Trump asked if he would ever nuke Europe and hear him not rule it out!

Re: 2016 Election
What, no comments about Trump's Geneva Convention statements?!?!?
Trump calls Geneva Conventions 'the problem' - POLITICO
“The problem is we have the Geneva Conventions, all sorts of rules and regulations, so the soldiers are afraid to fight”
What seems so silly about this line of thinking is, what about 'our guys' ... you may not like the Geneva Conventions when they restrict what 'we can do to them', but what about what 'they can do to us'?
I can't believe he said that.

Re: 2016 Election
His flipflopping on abortion certainly points to that, it's like he is trying to piss off everyone right when he has the nomination in the bag.

Re: 2016 Election
If you take the "abortion is murder!" argument to its logical conclusion, then Trump is (or, I should say, was for a few minutes) absolutely right. Which should make it obvious that the abortion=murder claim is so absurd that not even the pro-lifers actually believe it themselves. It's essentially a marketing slogan that sounds good in a soundbite that is intended to sell a product but ultimately makes no sense at all.

With his abortion comments, he's trying to take votes from Ted Cruz.

It's just like everything else with Trump his positions are all vapid talking points just to try and win votes. When someone actually makes him answer questions about the implications of his positions he just shows he hasn't thought anything through.
It's about time someone actually held Trump's feet to the fire about some of his positions. I hope it continues.

Re: 2016 Election
What was Trump doing there is the more interesting question.
