Trump speak his mind; and often inserts foot into mouth before realizing he has fungus & athlete's foot. On the other hand, as I've written on other threads, Cruz is the stealth, anti-woman, candidate. He'll advocate to ban abortion and many forms of birth control. Not my kind of Republican.
Don't think he's very stealthy. He's very clear about his thousand percent anti-choice stand.
What viable Republican candidate for national office is the statement, " He'll advocate to ban abortion and many forms of birth control." not appropriate for?
The "Drümpf speaks his mind" meme is as much a manufactured and preposterous fraud as his university, his historical battlefield golf course, his hairstyle, his business acumen …
Hair Drümpf speaks to gain adulation and affirmation from whatever audience he's posing for — careening widely, from audience to audience to audience and venue to venue. He has no "mind" (just a yuugely awesome mirror … in need of constant polishing.)
Heard an interesting comment. If Trump had bothered to study up on the anti-choicers approved presentation of their views he'd have known you're not supposed to say you'd punish women. You're supposed to say they're victims, yadyadyada and that this is of a piece with his not studying foreign policy issues or anything else. As he gets asked more specific questions, especially going forward into the general if he wins the nomination, it will become increasingly clear that he he doesn't know anything about any of it, not even what a GOP candidate is suposed to say to stay on the right side (in more ways than one) of the various members of their coalition.
What makes this gaffe unique is that he actually felt the need to walk it back. His ignorance and arrogance mean he's bound to make this kind of mistake and then walk it back with increasing frequency. Since his whole thing is never retreat, never apologize, never back down and since that's what his supporters love about him even when they don't agree with what he says, that's kind if yuuge.
Will his followers still love him if he does start walking things back and sounding like like all the "weak" "low energy" pols he makes fun of?
He puts his foot so far into his mouth he has athlete's stomach.
So you would support Trump over Cruz, who just hosted a women's adoration fest in Wisconsin. Both candidates are anti-choice, but Trump crossed the line and said he'd support criminal penalties for women who sought an abortion. Trump realized within a day that was politically incorrect and tried to abort his comment… and rebirth his position to say women would not be penalized because they are victims. In Trump's world, I think all women are victims or soon will be if he wins election.
I wonder how Donald would have responded if a more clever interviewer had asked "Should the man pay for the abortion?", " Should a man pay a woman's expenses and for her troubles and inconvenience. "
