White House Must Stop the ‘Buts’ When Terror Strikes Israel

By Bridget Johnson
ABORTION PUNISHMENTS It was at this point that Donald Trump's strategy of just winging it on policy started to hurt him. But by the time he told Chris Matthews on March 30, 2016 that he thought there "has to be some form of punishment" for women who undergo abortions, it was too late to stop him from becoming the GOP nominee. The gaffe locked in a now-familiar pattern of him having to spend days disowning his outrageous statements instead of doubling down on them. And that sucks up precious airtime that could be used to call attention to Hillary Clinton's vulnerabilities. This comment also didn't help lift his rock-bottom favorability ratings among women.

French Foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault (R) shakes hands with US Secretary of State John Kerry upon his arrival for an international and interministerial meeting in a bid to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, in Paris, on June 3, 2016. France will host talks on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that have received a chilly response from Washington, but diplomats say merely swinging the spotlight back onto the stalemate is a victory. Instead representatives of some 25 countries, as well as the United Nations, European Union and Arab League, will try and lay the ground for a fully-fledged peace conference to be held by the end of the year.
