Looking forward to a hastily assembled sampler platter of contradictory responses to this situation from this highly organized, efficient, and competent campaign of a candidate who knows everything and never made a mistake.
He’s got a great brain ya knoes.
So he says. But James Fallows, who talks to the smartest people in the world for a living, says otherwise: “In my experience there is no surer marker of not, in fact, being smart than this kind of barroom brag. … We know that Trump is ill-informed on public issues. The evidence mounts that, while he is clever and cunning in performance skills, he is sort of dim intellectually.”
Potential VP Pick ? (Inspector Closeau voice) Not anymoerrre…
Trump: Big deal. I was for it as well and am still for it. My supporters don’t care.
Sleazy James Fallows of the failing Atlantic Monthly is a loser! You don’t build such a huge, tremendous business empire worth eleventy trillion dollars without the most smartest, goodest brain. What’s Fallows been doing in China all these years? He’s been turned into a Manchurian Reporter to do his biased, sleazy attacks on Donald Trump, because China knows that once He’s in charge, they no longer get their sweet deals and spread that global warming lie. We have no choice. James Fallows has got to go. We have no choice. Tragic. Bigly. Sad!
“I think women have to be able to choose…sort of, the right of choice,” Retired Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn said in a Sunday interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
“They are the ones that have to make the decision because they’re the ones that are going to decide to bring up that child or not,” he added.
Well, at least he gave a nod to the Core Republican Value of “women should be in the home raising the children”.
He actually did not say that. he said they will be deciding to “bring up that child or not”.
With a couple, the male and female raise the child. But in most abortion cases, the male is either not known, or could care less. And even in the situations where the male wants to be involved, the reality is that the woman carries the child, not the man. She is indeed the one who would be deciding whether to bring up the child or not. It’s her call. If the man wants the child but the lady does not, she should be the one making the final call.
Don’t take this as a defense of a potential Trump VP, I am only commenting oh this specific position of his. I think it’s a good one.
We already know that all positions on an issue are held in superposition by Donald Trump. No one data sample from V.P. audition is enough to determine where he falls on the choice/anti-choice divide.
One thing about this election is already decided — evangelicals will go pro-choice, regardless of who they vote for.
‘SORT OF’…the right of choice? Listen up. Women are 100% citizens of this country and should be accorded ALL the rights…not just sorta…
I see what you are saying. On rereading I don’t get the same vibe from that quote I’d gotten the first time. Maybe I’ve just been bitten one too many times by a Republican giving an inch in women’s’ rights in one area just to take another away elsewhere.
I think that “sort of” was in terms of choice being a “right” rather than a logical necessity (“have to be able to choose”). Seems like he’s just a baby step away from acknowledging a woman’s right to choose but just can’t quite make it completely over that last linguistic hurdle.
It’s a fabulous, fabulous campaign. It’s knocking my socks off.
And you’re running for the by-bul thumper party’s vp choice?
See 'ya pal.
Yes, keep in mind many Republican voters are on board with some liberal issues. For instance, 1 out of 3 Republicans favor gay marriage. On the other hand, 3 out of 10 Democrats (similar ratio) are against gay marriage. So there is definite overlap between parties on social issues. There are many Republican voters who think weed should be legal, and many Democrats who don’t.

If Trump picks this guy, then Trump is definitely trying to lose.
this is pivoting to the center for the general election.
Sounds a little like the guy Perot chose. But republicans will vote for him regardless. It’s only in the primaries that you have to be anti-choice.
