You make a good case that Trump is your number one choice, lol.Voting is a cost benefit analysis, is it not?
I don't know where you got that Trump was my number one pick. I don't particularly like him as a person, I never have, going back 20-30 years even. But he does have certain qualities I see as important that no other candidate has. One of those is tenacity, he is a pit bull, and once he latches onto something, he isn't letting go. Now with Trump that's a double edged sword for me because I don't agree with him on everything. The vaccine thing is a big problem for me. But with the election issue, absolutely. Now could he more deftly communicate the issue? Absolutely.
With regard to abortion, he's largley responsible for overturning of Roe v Wade. How does that make him squishy in his abortion stance again? Why are we talking about hypotheticals? I'd rather base decisions on history than what ifs.
At the end of the day, not sure who I'd vote for in the primary. Maybe hop over and vote RFK in the dem primary.
But anyway I suspect you misunderstood. I’m not saying that Trump is squishy. I’m saying that if he were to soften his stance on abortion he could pull that off without losing any meaningful support.
But you didn’t really answer my question. Number one or not, if Trump softened his stance on abortion would that be a deal breaker?
About his participation in overturning RvW, those were chosen by the federalist society. All Trump did was choose from the list with advisement from Mitch McConnell.
