Despite media hysteria over a power grab by some House Democrats seeking to divide the left, conservative leaders warn that Donald Trump’s coalition will be divided over his stance on abortion.
“Behind-the-scenes disagreements over abortion have escalated in recent weeks, becoming so tense and heated that some social conservative leaders have publicly warned the Trump coalition A schism is coming within.
“Public pressure from anti-abortion activists has angered Trump’s advisers, according to people familiar with internal discussions within the campaign,” they report. But Trumpworld isn’t too worried about that because they know that whatever he does on the issue How to change their position, they all have evangelicals. “Meanwhile, Trump’s allies are not too worried about platform skirmishes because no matter how his position on the issue changes, vehemently anti-abortion evangelicals remain among his most ardent supporters.”
Donald Trump changed his stance on abortion because it was politically expedient for him to do so, and he bet that now that he overturned Roe he could take evangelicals for granted, It’s a pretty good bet because of where else they could go.
One danger zone for Trump here is whether they stay home.
According to the Pew Research Center, “63 percent think abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 36 percent think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases.”
In other words, Trump cannot win the election if he continues to adhere to the Republican Party’s “Personality Amendment” platform.
Donald Trump has begun reviewing language in a draft 2024 Republican platform that anti-abortion leaders expect to abandon the party’s decades-long effort to amend the U.S. Constitution to extend personhood protections to the unborn, according to multiple people involved in the discussions. Baby’s Call,” The Washington Post explained.
Another way to look at this, besides the obvious “Republicans in Chaos,” is that Republicans are running away from the abortion platform they’ve been pushing, while a handful of Democrats in the other corner are getting no media coverage. decades.
They fled because Roy exposed a fundamental flaw in their reasoning and argumentation, namely that if they believed – contrary to science – that abortion was “murder,” then they could not commit suicide for the mother’s life. Any exceptions are rape victims or incest victims.
The question then becomes that the public is appalled by the cruelty of a law that forces a 10-year-old rape victim to give birth to her rapist’s child. So Republicans tried to soften their message while not changing their platform, but that didn’t work.
Donald Trump is a man of many talents, but he is no fool. After riding evangelicals into the White House in 2016, using them to make his stance on abortion, he is no longer dealing with them and knows that no matter how he treats them, he has them in his pocket. This is Donald Trump – he has no respect for who brings him to parties because the truth is he never cared about abortion.
He only cares about gaining power for himself.
