Comments on: Dear New York Times: Trump Is Anti Choice https://gregladen.com/blog/2023/11/16/dear-new-york-times-trump-is-anti-choice/ Wed, 22 Nov 2023 16:39:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.8 By: Christopher Winter https://gregladen.com/blog/2023/11/16/dear-new-york-times-trump-is-anti-choice/#comment-1005488 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 16:39:02 +0000 https://gregladen.com/blog/?p=35387#comment-1005488 I guess this is in response to Ruth Igielnik’s 14 November New York Times analysis (updated 20 November) that says Trump’s vagueness on the question of abortion makes him less vulnerable than other GOP candidates. It’s true; Trump is a vacillator. In 1999, he said he was was pro-choice.

Similarly, he was once a Democrat and supported action on climate change, signing on to a letter that urged President Obama to do more in 2009, just before COP15.

Personally, I keep wishing that vague statements on issues would make a candidate more vulnerable.
