... The GOP presidential nominee is now taking a new tack: Positioning himself as a leader on women's reproductive rights, much to the outrage of Democrats -- who say the pivot is an insincere ploy to win over voters " and some of his allies who think he's abandoned them.

In recent days, Trump has said on his social media platform Truth Social that his administration would be "great for women and their reproductive rights." He's pledged to not enforce a 150-year-old law that bans mail delivery of contraceptives, and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, said Trump would "absolutely" veto any federal abortion ban passed by Congress.

Trump's comments come as the Republican ticket struggles with how to talk about the reproductive rights restrictions they've championed for years, without turning off the key swing state voters they'll need in November.

Earlier this month, Trump said he was open to restricting access to mifepristone, a pill used in medical abortions. ...

@#3 ... Lying is all that fat blowhard can do. ...

That does seem to be the case.

So why do the MAGA folk (now, the GOP in general) seem to buy into all the lies that fmr Pres Trump proffers?

Serious question.

Anyone?

@#5 ... Lack of critical thinking comes to mind. ...

I don't know if I would give that reason.

At times I have to wonder if the great move of the Republican Party in the 80's towards Christianity resulted in a party that then became a party that just ~wanted to believe.~

A party looking for a cult leader?

@#7 ... NONE of the values offered by Trump are Christian. ...

I agree.

100%

But that's not the question I pose.

Let me try again...

I ask, has the tendency of religious people wanting to believe now become prevalent in the Republican Party?

In religion, there is a wanting to believe what religious leaders say.

Has the Republican Party managed to, say, redirect that want to believe to their cult leader?
