That General who Trump is supposedly vetting for VP

[sufrommich]

Just said "women have a right to choose" when asked about abortion rights.

I think we can safely cross him off the VP list.

1. Yup, the Trumpeteers would turn on him!

Although I truly suspect that in Dump's personal history, he and a partner or two have themselves invoked their "right to choose".

[sufrommich]

4. Many republicans have most likely invoked their

right to choose,that's never going to stop them from trying to stop others from doing the same. The right to an abortion has never been denied to people with money,legal or not.

2. The thought of the right having to deal with....

1 or 2 (depending on where Trump is that week) candidates on a presidential ticket that are not completely against choice makes me smile.

[sufrommich]

3. It will be decades before a republican can "come out" as

pro choice,if ever. At least in the general election,the anti choice morons are a huge chunk of that party.

7. IMO tRump is still probably pro-choice but faking it, he didn't even know how to answer CM

However, that wont stop them from getting the most pro life judges available, you kbow, have to appease the base.

9. People like Trump don't have to worry about abortion laws,

if a Trump family member needed an abortion,a safe abortion procedure would be provided. I doubt that he's pro or anti abortion,it's irrelevant either way to him.

12. Agree. Sad but true.

5. one could say he just bombed

[Doctor Jack]

6. He is also pro-gay marriage. The people at the Free Republic are freaking out over this

Almost all are saying he supports child murder and that he has disqualified himself. Let's see if Trump adds "massive identity crisis" to the list of problems with his campaign.

8. Uncheck that guy's name. Trump needs

the religious right badly.

But, fwiw, most of Trump's core of populist voters probably don't care all that much or at all, though many have probably been in the habit of thinking of themselves on that team. They know he's at most not a committed anti-abortionist and at worst pro-, and don't care.

Many never did care all that much. If I were an anti-abortion leader, I'd be very worried about this unraveling of the once mostly unified conservative stand on this issue. If the Democrats are for/against it, I'm against/for may not be quite as strong a mantra as it has been.

10. on the other hand, he hates Muslims, advocates war crimes, and is tone deaf on race

so maybe he has a chance

[Lord Magus]

13. He'll have whatever beliefs Trump pays him to have.

It's obvious that Flynn jumped on the Trump bandwagon to cash in.

[workinclasszero]

11. Oh he is off the list now for sure

Baggers ain't gonna go for that, guaranteed!
