Trump
had his terrible comments about abortion,
most people, even on the right, a lot of people are attacking him. They are using this as a chance to say he's not actually pro-life, he says what
he thinks they want to hear but does not
understand their thought process. But he has his defenders, both his actual
supporters and some in the media,
especially on fox news. We will turn to
fox and friends, which has an interesting
excuse for why he might have said what he
said. They talked to Chris Matthews about nuclear weapons in the middle east, and he talked to him about
abortion. When you know a more experienced candidate, because Donald trump was
making $1 billion, while everyone else was running for office, most candidates would say I'm not here to talk about abortion.
We can
talk about it another time. But those are largely political questions, and he has to answer those, but nonetheless, he
only became a politician about six or
seven months ago. This is new for him. People like him because he is lurching
as he goes and he is not the
establishment. All three of those people are so silly. The notion that any
candidate, when asked the question, would say
I'm not here to talk about abortion --
republicans love talking about
abortion. They are here to talk about
abortion. So that is a ridiculous premise to open with. But then Steve, because people say something
because they think they have to, says he
is new at this. He's only a 68-year-old man who has been running for president for six or seven months. Why
would he have a position on an issue --by the way, Donald trump ran for president in 2000. That is right, on the
reform party. He is not new to this. And it is not about detailed tariff pros
and cons, it makes you think women should
be able to exercise their constitutional
rights to reproductive freedom? and why the hell is it okay for him to be new
to this here,
It
wasn't that like you shouldn't have to
say anything just because the last thing he said
was bad -- that is the part we don't like. But they are fine
with him saying it should be banned nationally. So he is new enough
that he doesn't know how long you should go to jail, but he has been around long enough to know that we should change established a constitutional law for the past four or five decades. That is a
weird -- and the woman defending him, I don know her name, he is saying he wants to
take away your right,the right of your friends, statistically it is almost certainly the case that she knows at
least one woman who has had an abortion,
he wants to take it away, possibly throw her in
jail for committing murder, but he is new.
Is exciting, that's what people
like him. But that was not the only fox show that was supporting him. Fox generally is anti-trump, but a number of hosts are sticking with him. We also have Andrea
tan tarps, she doesn't even blame Chris
Matthews, she blames someone else entirely. He walked into exactly what Hillary Clinton
wanted him to walk into, which is a
trap. She can talk and push out in mailers and they can get their upcoming gender
war, which is exactly what they want. I
love that it is a trap, he said it should be banned, the natural follow-up is, what is the consequence for violating that ban? That is a trap. That is not
him not having an answer, that is a trap from Hillary
Clinton, who wasn't even there. That is a
stupid thing to say. She is right about one point, which is that it sets up gender war that Republicans don't want and
democrats do. But she is saying it falsely sets up a gender war. And this has
nothing to do with the gender war. The gender war existed already before Donald trump came
along, he just happened to make it work.
I have news for you, asking him how long they
should go to jail or what their fine
should be, that does not set up this phantom
of the gender war. Saying you are going
to try to make it illegal nationally,
that sets up the gender war. She should not be pissed at Hillary Clinton,
she should be pissed Donald trump. And we
also have a supporter of Donald trump who
has a similar opinion about who is to
blame. It is so far outside the mainstream, even pro-life thinking, where did he come up with that? I think you have to look at the context and
situation he was in. This is a typical trap that a lot of
democrats and liberal media do when they
ask this question amongst a pro-lifer, a conservative. There is no easy answer out of it because it
is camp located situation because it is a
complex issue. And I think the fact that Mr. Trump realized
immediately after he got off how it would
be misconstrued, and issued the clarification
--was it misconstrued? He said women should be punished. He was clear
about it. Not doctors, women. And him, I think he completely misspoke and realizes he misspoke. That is obvious they not what he
means. If he misspoke, he was given the opportunity to clarify when Chris Matthews
asked the follow-up question. He was specific, he said, the women? And Donald trump said, yes. I also like her, who I met in Miami
and one of the debates recently, when she
says it is obviously not what he meant --how is that obvious? How do we know anything
about Donald trump, it is obvious? To me,
it is obvious he is not pro-life. But it is only obvious to me because I don't think he is. Because we have read his
other quotes. And there is a history to it.
So the people who come to his defense,
like Hughes, come to his defense without really knowing what the truth is behind it. Or
not caring. Trump is not caring. They don't seem to care that he doesn't have a
strong position. Absolutely, they don't care, as long as he is the guy. It doesn't
matter what he says. And you notice that
when you go to these -- I think you should get out there and go to a trump really, because you see it doesn't matter
who is on stage security, all this -- you
look at the people in those crowds and
you see what they react to and how they talk to one
another, it is astonishing. It is something you don't see in America very often. It is, even more, substance-freer
than most people in America are. But
there is a blind devotion. You go to any
other event, and I have seen every single candidate up close and personal in the past eight or nine months, you see them questioning their guy or their woman. Or
disagreeing with them on certain things. That is what I mean. And talking to us
about, I'm here --you were in Iowa, people in Iowa
will drive 340 miles to see someone they
are not going to vote for. They are into
it, some of them. But the idea that they can question the
candidate they are supporting or doubt them is great.
But
that is not happening with a trump. Many people have said one unifying characteristic
of trump supporters is a predisposition
for the authoritarian personality, which
is opposed to questioning authority figures. And the final thing from the quote
is, it is classic liberal media. She said
trap, too. Maybe the email went out. Are classic liberal media tactics, it is a
commentator issue and you want us to say what the
punishment should be? I do want you to
because you are the one saying we should
ban it. If you want to take 10 years ago
with much to think tanks and work on it
and figure it out because it is such a
complicated issue, figure out what the punishment
should be, then push for the changes in the law, then you could avoid this liberal media trap. But when you are saying we should ban it when we don't even know what
the consequence would be, you look like a
moron, not Chris Matthews.
