TRUMP: Yeah, there has to be some form. Like he literally said women should be punished for abortion.
If Congress were to pass legislation making abortion illegal and the federal courts upheld this legislation, or any state were permitted to ban abortion under state and federal law, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman.

The social issues are pretty much my main gripe with the republican establishment as well and it seems very much to me like that is part of the reason they hate Trump so much - he doesn't care for any of it either because he's by means a social liberal as well.
I think that's probably true, but him taking Pence as his VP damages my ability to believe that he'd split with the party on these issues when push comes to shove.
At the end of the day it's what he does, not what he believes, that actually matters. And a Republican president is far more likely to be pushed into the Republican agenda than a Democratic one (even one as corrupt as Hillary Clinton).

It's a thing where you should just watch the interview yourself and decide.
It looked like the interviewer was out for blood, got the upper hand on him, and baited him into saying something he didn't want to say. He instantly backed off what he said and put this statement out in response.

The interview with Chris Matthews? I agree that the video should be watched, because Matthews wasn't baiting anything imo; he just insisted that Trump actually give a straight answer, and Matthews didn't back down from his abortion question until Trump actually gave an answer (which Trump isn't used to).

The text from that was actually a great read. Trump tried to redirect and change the subject to the Pope, to Catholic dogma, to whether Matthews was a good Catholic etc over and over and Matthews just smoothly dismissed that and then hammered it back onto Trump. Even if you believe that Trump was just trying to give any kind of answer and completely misspoke on the issue it still shows how badly out of his depth he was and how ineffectual and incompetent he is when not allowed to slither around on an issue.

There's nothing tricky about the question of whether a woman should be punished after an abortion. It's very simple.

Oh so the rules about signs you care about, the being impartial, not so much. lol.
Trump's probably going to win since dems seem incapable of even understanding why the people are resisting so hard.
It's just reinforcing the reality that the notion that the party is united is imaginary. You want a united party you make some real change, otherwise this is just the beginning. Today was the tamest stuff planned since most of the speakers were Bernie supporters trying to calm the fire.

I think it comes down to the fact that he honestly doesn't care that much about it, much in line with the fact that he's a social liberal, but knows what he's expected to say to appeal to the far right of his party, for whom it is a very important moral issue.

I'm sorry, 3.7 million people disagreed. But keep trolling. It only shows just how unreasonable Bernie set your expectations. Or maybe you did this to yourself.

I think it comes down to the fact that he honestly doesn't care that much about it, much in line with the fact that he's a social liberal, but knows what he's expected to say to appeal to the far right of his party, for whom it is a very important moral issue.

Trump's probably going to win since dems seem incapable of even understanding why the people are resisting so hard. It's just reinforcing the reality that the notion that the party is united is imaginary. You want a united party you make some real change, otherwise this is just the beginning. Today was the tamest stuff planned since most of the speakers were Bernie supporters trying to calm the fire.

Unlike the Republicans where the majority of voters are behind Trump and the party leadership wants nothing to do with him.
