    No I didn't. Saying that if the status quo continues for another 4 years, we are going to get worse candidates on both the right and left (which a revolutionary communist would be), is not "demonizing" Sanders. That said, if you are going to call yourself a socialist, then you must embrace the world history of socialism, which could be described as a demonic story.

    Really? How many times have Trump 'aides' had to explain what he 'really meant' because he shot himself in the foot yet again? How many times has he already backtracked on his brainless pronouncements?
    Here, some reality for you:http://www.nationalreview.com/article/432381/donald-trump-backtracking-unraveling

    That's the thing with socialism. There is no "version" of the economy that you can pin on a self-proclaimed socialist. Because socialism exists, and has always existed, only in people's minds. It's why countries as diverse as modern Sweden, Soviet Russia, and Chavez's Venezuela have all claimed the socialist mantle. It's a myth.

    But point me to a "What is socialism" thread, or create one if you want me to talk about that. My stance on this topic stands: Trump was correct that IF an abortion ban was effected, it would have to include some sort of punishment, and that Trump should have flipped the script, and told Matthews that he would answer if Matthews would answer if injuring a fetus in the womb (through drugs or other violence) to the point of irreparable damage throughout life should be punished. Then Trump could have showed that his position of punishing women for something they do to the fetus in the womb is not extreme, as many people, including liberals, feel that some things done to the fetus should be punished.

    Trump really is the flippiest flopper. First he reverses himself on torture and killing terrorist's families and now he changes his mind about punishing women for abortions. At least he didn't blame a young intern or a bad earpiece this time.

    I actually appreciate the views of others abroad(While sometimes, they may not have the fullest understanding of things in the country, they do offer a vastly different and most of the times, brighter perspective.) Especially the civilized thinkers of Europe.

    We forget that the cradle of democracy was born in Europe, as to were the great empires of their day. There's no short list of greatness in Europe, and we should learn from our European friends. They've done the world superpower thing a lot longer than we have.

    Is that a reason for celebration?...Wow….Republican establishment, Democrat establishment, Soros financed NGO’s, the media both ‘left’ and ‘right’ etc… all work together against him. Don’t you find astonishing that Hillary and Cruz are on the same side? Singing from the same hymn sheet. Get some perspective. The guy deserves a medal for standing up to all those corrupted low lives and for lasting this long.

    Incidentally, the whole thing was totally blown out of proportion by above mentioned faceless people. You completely lose common sense when it comes to Trump. If something is illegal, and you knowingly engage in an illegal activity it’s only normal to suffer some consequences (prescribed by law)for your actions. It was a hypothetical question.

    Yup , every word true and you haven't been around long enough to declare this BS

    Get over yourselves. No one wants to control you, or "have you bare footed". People just find abortions abhorrent on principle. "So, why don't they have the social benefits on STEROIDS?" Because a Nanny State would take away the most valuable asset humanity has: The will to live. The government cannot care for you cradle to grave, it shouldn't. That would be a worse case scenario IMO.

    know ... you seem to have fast answers for everything else.To paraphrase.

    Not a Trump supporter but it is not really fair to take the statement out of context. The punishment discussion was about punishing women who had abortions after abortion was made illegal by law. Of course that could never happen because overseas abortions will be mostly used by the wealthy should abortion actually become illegal in the US.

    Trump is being exposed as the Poser he was bred to be.
    You don't go from being Pro life to Partial birth abortion fan in yer senior
    years back to being a staunch Pro Lifer who then openly endorses Planned
    Parenhood after their scandal was building steam.

    SOME people find abortions abhorrent, not everyone.

    At one time some people found dissecting human bodies for research abhorrent...it isn't to INTELLIGENT people.

    I don't know why you're blathering and whining about a nanny state which you seem to prefer if it can control women and stop them having abortions....

    YES, it is all about controlling women, who the hell else gets pregnant ?

    Even for the few dinosaurs who think abortion is abhorrent all they have to do is ignore it. It hasn't affected them in any way.

    It's been around for thousands of years and isn't about to end because some delicate people find it "icky".

    What the storm is really about is the FACT that Anti-Choicers , although they call abortion murder, NEVER have the guts to say what they want to happen to women who commit this murder.

    It's bad PR and Trump and Anti-Choicers know it.

    Very few have the guts to admit that is it's murder then these women will be charged and given sentences just like any other murderer...

    AND, of course, they NEVER tell exactly how these women would be caught or how they would be investigated or what the snitch says when they call 91 to report an abortion.










    Do they say , My DAUGHTER/WIFE/MOTHER left the bathroom all bloody, come and arrest her" ??

    Oh look another person frightened by what people in other countries think and who thinks he speaks for all Americans and he doesn't.

    Naïve enough to think what countries think of each other doesn't matter, who thinks every country is an independent island...wow, what "thinking".

    Those few dinosaurs are MANY. Even the most liberal abortion supporters will admit to how abhorrent it is. Not because it's "icky" but because in a western civilization where we preach human value, we make "sketchy exceptions" for ourselves(or well, at least for women lol. Like you said, men need not apply)

    The fact that it's sketchy is bad enough, but also the fact that there isn't a single positive factor to Abortion. Not a single thing you can attribute positively to Abortion in the world. It's granted us nothing, and even dubbing it as "woman's health care" has to have been the biggest laugh in history.

    Conveniently leaving out the question, "if Roe v Wade were overturned". But hey, this is the game libs play.

    Our.Dear.Leader .trumpf was doing what he usually does best - PANDER !! He was pandering to the craziest of the so called pro-life gang b of the GOP and he forgot to get off steroids. He was doing what he does best - saying what he thinks that his target audience wants to hear. He thought that the so called pro-life gang want to punish the women who had undergone abortions and he is right to a probably smaller degree than he anticipated. Obviously since he had to back down from "punish those wenches " statement he realized that what he said was not going to be accepted by the majority of the so called pro-life gang.

    No I do not believe that all who process to be pro-life are actually pro-life but they are all anti-abortion.
