Relating to your first paragraph, I really didn’t mind the answer he gave about punishing women who have an abortion. My issue on Trump relating to abortion is his inability to put together a strong defense when attacked by the media on it. Most of the time he just answers that he is pro-life, same as Reagan. The other, is that I don’t think it’s a very big issue of importance to him. His main issue is the economy and immigration. While both are certainly high on the list, the slaughter of millions of unborn babies, which you and I both heavily agree on, it’s an absolute must for it to come to a stop. I believe that Trump is taking it on just enough so that he doesn’t lose the votes from the pro-life groups.

Trump doesn’t have to go in-depth about the topic, but he should at least be able to give a consistent answer and get past the first couple of lines. There is a recent interview with Howard Stern that he did where Stern presses him in contending that he’s a social liberal. Trump doesn’t attempt to defend himself, he just keeps repeating that he’s pro-life and for traditional marriage. When you get outside of immigration and the economy, he honestly hasn’t put together very many good arguments for other issues. And again, I don’t expect him to go out and be a complete world beater. He’s nearly 70 years old and running on 3-4 hours sleep a night. But I do think he should be able to provide a solid defense.


And believe me, TRT, I try to avoid getting attached to the candidates and if I see something from Ted Cruz that strikes me in the wrong way, I’m done with him. If it actually is proven that he had an affair, I’m going third party. We saw how dangerous it was to have a bow to the master mentality with Barack Obama, and it will come back to bite both our party and our country if we do the same thing.

Like last time, I just don’t have time to edit. Big deadline coming up in a few days.

Frankly, I thought Trump's answer was just about as pointed as any I have heard in memory. He did not dodge when Matthews turned up the heat on him. I don't know, now that Trump has blazed the path for the rest again we may hear Cruz get on board with the idea that women should not expect to break the law without repercussion.

The question I heard was 'IF' abortion was outlawed, should there be a punishment attached for women who do it anyway. Now, I know it's in vogue these days for Presidents to sidestep and maneuver around the law, but normally one would not expect to hear a candidate for President advocate for law breaking without "some form of punishment." I really don't get it, and if I were advising the Trump campaign, I'd have him go into depth on the matter. How it happened, exactly what Matthews asked him and then I'd point out that he is THE ONLY guy with big enough nads to call out the bad behavior of the women who have abortions with far less consideration than most people suffer when for reasons of failing health, they are forced to have their pet euthanized. I mean, when does it get serious enough to do something about it? We've slaughtered, depending on who you might ask, 60 million here in this country alone since 1973. BTW, according to the ruling Congress has barred the use of federal Medicaid funds to pay for abortions, except when the woman’s life would be endangered or in cases of rape or incest. Yeah, right.

If there is anything on Cruz, they're saving it for a nuclear strike. But, when you think about things for just a second, it's pretty clear that every possible effort is being made to dig up anything possible on Trump. The jerk down thing with Fields, the abortion answer to Matthews which Pastor Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas agreed with, it's a put on. There's no proof that Trump is a misogynist, but there certainly is ample for his being tagged with the tried but true war on women sign. The thing that is incredible to me is that it actually seems to be working for the anti-Trump forces.
