The thing is, the abortion issue is so emotionally charged for so many people
that we aren't even aware of our strong feelings about it. I've felt positive
about Trump until I read that "punishment" comment wrt abortion. My reaction,
which took me unawares, was instantaneous and irrevocable. And, for me, his
backpedaling made it worse. Melania ignoring the comment made it worse. All in
all, a PR nightmare. And I think he knows it.

I think what she said was that "if you attack him, he will hit back 10
*times* harder." She was probably talking about his approach to foreign
policy. He basically backed off on the abortion comment because he, himself,
didn't even mean what he said. One of his major limitations is that his
vocabulary is very limited. I believe, he was basically trying to articulate
the emotion of how he thinks so many men *feel* about women who get
pregnant—all their fault. He has brought Melania in to help smooth the waters
with respect to that major gaff—by her presence as a supportive wife and
attractive female.

Because so many people have been thinking about his abortion comment. When I
heard hers, it sounded like he'd hit 10% harder wrt a woman who'd had an
abortion! So easy to combine "punishment" with 10% harder.
And of course, this combining also happens more easily because Melania didn't
address the abortion comment directly.

I liked Cruz's explanation better. Cruz explained that since Trump really is a
New York liberal, he thinks that is how conservatives think, not knowing any
better, he thought he was pandering to conservative and evangelical voters.
Rush Limbaugh pretty much nailed it the day after Trump said it.

I thought his lowest point occurred when he said that women who get illegal
abortions should be punished. As if having an abortion for most women, isn't
bad enough! I bet he was trying to court the Tea Party fanatics.
