This business about "Abortion"

[quintessentone]

Truth is, when it comes to the thespian politician motif... there are likely more than three potentials...

Personal utterances are not the stuff of 'politics' ... they are the stuff of entertainment.

Notice how innocently the object of the discussion flows into the groove of some character in the media?  How easily the actual idea of the abortion policy can drift into the behavior of celebrities?  It's not a fault or flaw, but it gets us no nearer the original question. 

Not at all meant as a criticism or denigration of your post by any means... I appreciate everyone's contribution a great deal... but I wonder if candidate Trump really "needs" this issue on his banner of "support me," or is it that as I posited earlier, he just wants it to be ignored this time around... and will the partisan press oblige his campaign machinations, or doggedly haunt them to distraction?

You are right about the three potentials. IMO the first is he's a Trump fan, second the Trump fan must be entertained and who to do the entertaining to his satisfaction, that's right, Trump himself. That's what I see when I watch him at rallies - there is no campaigning or addressing pressing issues, just entertainment Trump-style.
