18. i think that s the point he made their. he did score some points when he talked about his pro life position. he says he is pro-life, and he s not apologetic about it. and he also made the important distinction that republicans are concerned about protecting the sanctity of life, but also after that child is born, republicans will be there and evangelical community will be there if they choose to put the child off her adoption. and as crisis pregnancy centers across iowa in the country, of which i ve been to many, here s the thing that i think will make a lot of the headlines. but i don t think is particularly important to the people in iowa, but he was so strong today on his comments about presidents decision on january 6th, and saying if he s got to put himself before the constitution, he should not be the president of the united states again. i agree 100% with that. but when he was back and forth on the issue of these classified documents, in essence making a moral equivalency or
the 2024 elections, when you have general elections. president biden versus the republican norminee. it s also an issue in the republican primaries. democrats are happy about that politically. just this morning in new hampshire, nikki haley said this. if there s 60 votes, which we re not anywhere near that, and if there s something where they have come together on con sen us is, i would sign it. that s 60 votes out of 100 saying, this is what america wants. but we re at 45. so we re not anywhere close. i m being very honest with you. i can t suddenly change my pro life position because i m campaigning in new hampshire. her position has been pro life. she would seen abortion restrictions, but it has to be a consensus. we don t want to push people away so you need 60 votes in the senate. all five women, including several republicans in the south carolina senate, said you re
he understands, and he was talking about it also in another part of the interview, we can t live in a bubble. we have to persuade independents. we have to work with the other side. that is pretty basic. that s politics 101. but in the trump republican party, that s almost revolutionary. right. right, it is. it s like, yeah, it s normal politics but revolutionary to hear it from a republican presidential candidate. sure, win the hearts and minds, but they should have done that before they overturned roe v. wade. i mean, it is just too late to have that conversation in a republican partial primary about trying to win people over to a pro life position. when, you know, today, i believe, in south carolina, the south carolina senate is going to vote on another six-week abortion ban. that pro life women, state
nikki haley, and for her it was not so much about specifics as it was about what she plans to do specifically on this issue, but instead trying to build, in her words, consensus on one of the thorniest issues of our time this is how she was talking about trying to find middle ground watch. my goal as president will be the same as it was when i was governor and ambassador. i want to save as many lives and help as many moms as possible. we should be able to agree that contraception should be more available, not less. we can all agree that women who get abortions should not be jailed a few have even called for the death penalty. that s the least pro life position i can possibly imagine.
general election chances it s not a mystery the after primaries, comes a general. you know, a reason that the are abandoning trump, becaus they don t think he can beat joe biden. on one hand, - on the other, tends to be pro-life party the old pro life position that you can win a presidential election, by the way, it s not an extreme position amongs americans is to ban late trimester abortions. but now, the most aggressive - you see things like th six-week the, which is absolut political poison this is going to settle out. it s funny, i saw a post election polls in wisconsin. i looked at polling in a lot o supreme court races. crime is the number one thin people vote on because the hear a judgment in crime this thing, abortion was 3 points ahead of crime andwha
