People can and have voted for candidates that favored more abortion restrictions even if they themselves don’t agree with that candidate’s position.


The abortion issue is going to be used as an excuse if Donald Trump should lose this November

Thanks, Pookie.

You're welcome, Polly Ticks!

Baloney. The more he triggers the left with this stuff, the more they overreact and expose themselves. It is an effective strategy that has worked for him since he started. The man has been more successful than any GOP politician since Reagan. I may not like him much, but I can see that it works, and I kinda understand why it works.

The fact that Trump has been successful with this marketing strategy says more about us as a society than it does about him.

The Republican party has been on a losing streak since he squeezed out his lucky win in 2016.  His triggering the left seems to have worked out pretty well for them(the left)

And if this was such an effective strategy , why is Trump and the Trump campaign separating themselves from the comment and removed the ad while blaming a staffer’s carelessness?

From the article…

He added that Trump will surround himself with the “bottom of the barrel” and that those individuals will carry out whatever orders they are given.

I think he will try. Whether he succeeds or not remains to be seen, should he win.


Those of us who want to see the federal government’s overreach  reduced  are out of luck this election

 I was inside the court when the judge closed the Trump trial, and what I saw shocked me

I have observed and participated in trials throughout the world. I have seen justice and injustice in China, Russia, Ukraine, England, France, Italy, Israel, as well as in nearly 40 of our 50 states.

But in my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday.

Alan Dershowitz was allowed to stay in the courtroom during former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial while Judge Juan Merchan scolded witness Robert Costello. Steven Hirsch

Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense, while including irrelevant evidence offered by the prosecution.

But when the defense’s only substantive witness, the experienced attorney Robert Costello, raised his eyebrows at one of New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s rulings, the court went berserk.

The judge in Donald Trump’s trial was an absolute tyrant, though he appeared to the jury to be a benevolent despot. He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn.
