Bottom line, host Joe Scarborough said, is that if Supreme Court makes a decision, that’s the law of land, right?

“You have to go with it,” Mr. Trump said. “The decision’s been made, and that is the law of the land.”


Let's ask Trump about abortion next - I assume he should say the same thing...

His popularity isn't based on his positions, but on his act. RW hate radio has been trying to take him down by pointing out how he isn't a conservative, hasn't done squat.

The true fundie nut cases aren't nearly as numerous as people think. They are just noisy.

that he says shit which makes other people mad.

If Trump's numbers went up after he said McCain wasn't a hero, and his numbers when up when refused to take the pledge not to run as an independent candidate against the Republican nominee, and his numbers wet up when he attacked Fox"News", why would this make his numbers go down?

I will say this -- I think he missed an opportunity to say "I respect her religious views but the taxpayers are paying her a salary to do her job and if she's unwilling to do her job because of her conscience, I respect that, but the taxpayers shouldn't have to pay her for the job she doesn't want to perform."

This puts a Trumpier spin on the issue.

“Well look — the decision came down from the Supreme Court … so I’m a believer in both sides of the picture,” Mr. Trump said Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

They don't like you for being middle of the road Donald. He's going soft.

FR is a gaggle of far, far, far right-wing lunkheads who still believe that Ted Cruz is going to overcome his single-digit polling and win 2016 in a 1984-style electoral landslide.
