Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
Hateful towards Muslims? All he did was state that he would implement a temporary halt due to the danger faced with how the current system is being overrun. It is nothing many many presidents haven't already done for decades. It used to be standard policy because it is SANE. Research what Carter did and get back to us. Like others pointed out, how the gay and women groups are silent on some of the atrocities towards those two groups in Islamic countries is STUNNING! I've seen animal rights activist show far more passion.
Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
they are literally platforming on who can de-fund it faster and Obamacare does a little in birth control and nothing on sex ed. Next
Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
but only for those who qualify, right? And only for those who don't already get medicare and many of the Republican Governors won't take the medicare money. The same Governors who are choosing to de-fund Planned Parenthood too where many poor women can actually access this stuff
Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
but I'd rather pay a few hundred, even a few thousand for contraceptives than whatever massive number it would cost to keep that kid on Welfare till 18 (and then the statistically significant percentage that we'd be paying for beyond that in prisons)

Trump says he will get Apple to "start building their damn computers and things" back in the US while at Liberty University. Makes no mention of the Trump clothing line made in Mexico and China. FWIW, I don't think he is this dumb, but I do think he thinks you are.

Right now, what choice do conservatives have? If he wins the nomination, there's not a 3rd party candidate that conservatives will turn to, as when Perot split the ticket in 92. They'll either vote for Trump or not at all at this point.
Re: Can Trump Really Win the Presidency?
No, he's not conservative in the social sense. I'm most interested in: 1) paying off our debt and 2) getting our federal government back within the prescribed functions as set forth in the Constitution. Unfortunately, I think both are pie in the sky. With the special interests and the puppet masters pulling the strings behind the scenes, I've really reconciled to myself that our country is lost.

The defunding of Planned Parenthood is a red herring. In Alabama, actual funding has been less than $5K annually, and there are numerous other clinics that deliver such services.
Yes, some States have chosen not to incur the additional cost of expanding Medicaid, which has exposed a critical flaw in the ACA. Nevertheless, there is something like 10M more people covered by insurance today. Even I have this wonderful birth control coverage even though it doesn't apply to me.

In addition, he's repeatedly pushed the (debunked) notion that thousands of Muslims cheered when the WTC buildings collapsed. He stated that he'd support registering all Muslim citizens in a federal database. He has proposed surveillance of mosques and even shutting down certain Muslim places of worship.
Now, if I replace "Muslim" with "Christian," would you consider those ideas to be hateful?
No, that is not all he's done. And just to be clear, Trump has not suggested that we close the borders specifically to Syrian refugees (which would be analogous to what Carter did with Iran). Instead, he has actually proposed closing the borders to any person belonging to a specific and major world religion.

In surveys conducted in 2011 and 2007, Pew found that 1% of U.S. Muslims said such violence against civilian targets was “often justified,” and another 7% said it was “sometimes justified,” for a total of 8% who said it was either "often justified" or "sometimes justified."
Pew re-reported these numbers in its 2013 report, The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society.
According to a December 2015 “key findings” update, Pew says there are an estimated 2.75 million Muslims in the United States of all ages, and that 1.8 million of them are adults.
Although 81% of U.S. Muslims said such violence was “never justified,” 1% said it was “often justified” and 7% said it was “sometimes justified.”
Another 5% said it was “rarely justified.” (Those were the numbers both times, in 2007 and in 2011.)
When Pew asked the same question of Muslims in other countries in 2011, it found, for instance, that 28% of Egyptian Muslims believe that suicide bombing or other forms of violence against civilian targets was “often” or “sometimes” justified to defend Islam.
In Indonesia, the number was 10% of the Muslims population; Jordan, 13%; Lebanon, 35%; Pakistan, 5%; and Turkey, 7%.
