Do Dems really know [right from wrong]? I absolutely doubt it. Right to abortion ...

When I say "right from wrong", I'm talking about the law, both criminal and civil.

If you want to debate abortion with me, that's fine. What used to be the law (Roe v Wade) has changed, and it's a complex topic. The law here differs from state to state. This is an area where we can find common ground, e.g., making an exception for the life of the mother, and disallowing it after X number of weeks.

But a candidate who's broken the law is a non-starter for me. Doesn't matter to me if the candidate is a Democrat or Republican, a criminal is a criminal. Bob Menendez is a Democratic Senator accused of taking bribes. I'll never support him or vote for him. It's because I know right from wrong, in the legal sense.

With Trump, the list is long, both civil and criminal:
- Found guilty of sexually abusing and defaming E Jean Caroll
- Found guilty of defrauding banks by overstating the value of his assets
- Illegally used his "Trump Foundation" charity for misusing its funds for political purposes.
- Found guilty of falsifying business records to hide a payment he made to a porn star in order to influence the 2016 election (a crime that Cohen went to jail for, and John Edwards almost went to jail for)
- Arrested for a conspiracy and racketeering to overturn the 2020 election by installing fake electors in the State of Georgia (for which several of his co-conspirators have already pleaded guilty)
- Arrested for refusing to surrender national security documents he stole from the White House
- Arrested for conspiring to defraud the United States, to disenfranchise voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding by instigating the Jan 6 attack on the Capitol.
