Well, I'm deeply religious and I don't believe in abortion so it would probably be pandering for me. I feel like if you polled the majority of women, most of us don't believe in it, but I also don't think we want to force women to go in back alleys or have 10 year olds giving birth.

Donald Trump has been very insulting towards women by making disparaging comments about looks and other things. More reason not to like him.

Thanks.

You should visit the PF more often than just election season. We need a lady's input around here and LG's gets old after a while.

They've had years to clean up their act; they haven't. They were going to oppose Obama; they didn't. This is ongoing - like a kid promising to do what he hasn't been doing and won't do - repeatedly. They either get get their act together and support the most likely candidate or sit on the outside looking in again. Most of all they have to start mending fences with the electorate - people vote - special interests can't - at least so far. The Democrats are no better; but their electorate has a huge base of people collecting handouts for no good reason, and those people aren't about to give up a good thing - even if it bankrupts the country. Fail repeatedly to represent the people who elect you, and they have no further reason to need you.

I think there's a real chance of this with a Trump victory. Potentially a phoenixing of the GOP if he's the nominee, and both parties if he wins the general.

Trump losing Ohio means that the GOP will steal the nomination, trot out Romney or someone equally boring to square off against Hillary (and get decimated in Nov), and destroy their party in the process.

I think the GOP needs to split. The only problem is we probably have 3 or more factions (libertarian leaning, religious right, and the anti-trade trump crazies).

Not electing trump is the only way to save the party. And that's not even a given.. If trump is elected, the GOP as we know it is dead.

I'm pretty sure Rubio is giving a concession speech right now, but hasn't said it yet.
