Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas.
While we watch the joy and hope and inspiration for the future that has become the Harris/Walz campaign, we were today reminded that even though we hear more than see him, he is still trying to figure out what went wrong. And why his clever hate-filled rhetoric and schoolyard nicknames aren’t doing the job anymore.
So today he decided to host the press at Mar-a-Lago. I expect that session will be dissected ad infinitum but I’m going to pass a highlight on in case you miss it.
“Trump said he believed that the issue widely seen as his biggest vulnerability — abortion — would not play a major role in the election. He said he believed voters were satisfied that he had expressed support for exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and the health of the mother, and preferred allowing states to decide abortion laws rather than the federal abortion rights provided under Roe v. Wade.
“I don’t think it’s a big factor anymore. Really,” Trump said.”
Really?
Can’t wait till the regularly-scheduled ABC debate in September so he can tell us women folk more about this unimportant topic.
