While he doesn’t support a federal ban on gay marriage, he also doesn’t support a federal law legalizing gay marriage. Some see this as a states’ rights issue, and this is how he frames it, but he does support other federal legalization movements (drugs, for example).
His newsletter spouted horrible racist content for twenty years.
He wants to get rid of Affirmative Action.
He is against raising taxes on the 1%
He wants to deregulate Wall St.
He is against increasing airport security, proposing that instead we just give pilots guns.
He's against the Auto-Industry restructuring which saved 2 million jobs and put our car industry back on top.
Dont really care what happens in the race, but taking someone out of context or not understanding someone’s stance is why stuff like this is said. I’ve picked a few out that I think are easy to answer:
He thinks states should do it because of a multitude of different religious group numbers in every state, not 1 size fits all and needs to be worked towards not force upon. As for drugs its a failed war and legalising drugs wouldnt make everyone a crack head the next day. If you dont think you can go outside and obtain drugs within an hour then your deluded.
His newsletters had 1 or 2 racist remarks in the early 90s which he has already discredited (as he didnt write the newsletters), although shows he should have had more management over it.
No he just doesnt want to rule out talking to these people. If someone was a threat to the US he would consult congress and go to war and get rid of the threat.
Why tax the productive, sure tax the ones that receive government help but what about the guy that worked hard all his life and provide a service/product that has helped millions?
He wants to make it like other businesses, dont do a good job you go bankrupt and liquidate.
US airport security is way over the top and unnecessary, paying people to grope women and children?
Against bailing out the US companies that failed, many foreign car companies operate in the US efficiently and are making profit, not being bailed out.
