Daily Kos? Really?Look, at no point does any of what Trump said approach a “policy.” It's quite obviously meant to evade a question that he doesn't want to answer, because he probably can’t remember what his past answers were or what his rally crowds have best responded to.
"We'll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years" makes it sound like he thinks “abortion” is a country and he's going to send his son-in-law over to patch things up and look for potential business deals. "I'm going to come together with all groups" is semi-coherent bullshit, at best, but when tacked onto an issue that regularly inspires far-right terrorists, it borders on punchworthy.
What’s most clear here is that Trump still hasn't prepared at all for this election, for being president, for anything.
But more than that, it again suggests that Trump was a figurehead president whose advisers steered toward supporting their own far-right positions, but who himself simply did not give a damn.
Trump, of course, boasts about appointing the Supreme Court justices who struck down Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to abortion. And on the 2016 campaign trail, he portrayed himself as viciously anti-abortion, saying there "has to be some form of punishment" for women who get abortions, even as he refused to commit to what that punishment would be.
Apparently, the man has watched enough television to know that this is not what the American public wants to hear. And yet he doesn't have a new policy to share, maybe because he's been too busy getting indicted and his advisers haven’t had time to tell him what his position should be.
There's no point in pretending that Trump’s words indicate what he would do if, God help us all, he returns to the White House.
The Post could have split this story into two articles. The first could cover what they were aiming for—a serious look at the evolving and evasive positions of each Republican presidential candidate on abortion. And the second article could be devoted to pointing out how Trump has no opinion and is just riffing in said opinion’s absence. It could cover how he does this all the time.
After all, that, too, is a big story. It might even be the bigger story. Because if America wants that (again), then what’s that say about America?

The press needs to stop pretending Trump’s word salads amount to policy thoughts
There's a Washington Post story today that tries to turn Donald Trump's thoughts on abortion into a serious report on the Republican presidential candidates' anti-abortion policies. That was a mistake, of course, because Trump does not have policies....www.dailykos.com
Yeah, really. Since you cannot read well, and have issues with facts, go on bashing any and all sources.Daily Kos? Really?
I usually do not bash sources but if any site deserves it it, it is that rag. It is as bad as the NYT and the WP.Yeah, really. Since you cannot read well, and have issues with facts, go on bashing any and all sources.
Daily Kos !!!!! Really. !!!!!!
Just say "No!"There have been many sayings in the Media and on the boards. Is Biden too old for a second turn? Has Biden damaged the country? Is Trump capable of understanding the issues? Does he understand what he says in his rallies and interviews on television?
We are about 14 months until the election. Clearly, for me, Trump will be the candidate for the Republicans, Biden for the Democrats.
Save that for the coming Covid lies. or do you have your mask on already?Just say "No!"

Sure......because you, the last of the last, says so.I usually do not bash sources but if any site deserves it it, it is that rag. It is as bad as the NYT and the WP.
I have more credibility than someone like you who repeats the narratives like their life depended on it. So there is that.Sure......because you, the last of the last, says so.
All you have done is say that Daily Kos is blah, blah blah.I have more credibility than someone like you who repeats the narratives like their life depended on it. So there is that.
You have the best credibility! Explosive even.I have more credibility than someone like you who repeats the narratives like their life depended on it. So there is that.
You assholes deny any evidence presented anyway.All you have done is say that Daily Kos is blah, blah blah.
Finding evidence to counter what they have reported is something else. Something you are incapable and unable to do.
So, your credibility without any evidence is worth ZERO.
You never present any evidence.You assholes deny any evidence presented anyway.
