Here’s your chance to convince me to vote for Trump.

f you can con­vince me that Don­ald Trump will be bet­ter than Hillary Clin­ton on abor­tion, then I will vote for him. But here are the argu­ments you can not use:

• You can­not make “Trump has promised” appeals. If all you have is what Trump has “promised” to do, you have noth­ing. Trump claims to have changed his posi­tion. How do I know this is not mere expe­di­en­cy as he trumps for votes? Why are Trump’s mere promis­es enough to make me over­look every­thing else? “Trump said it, I believe it, that set­tles it” is no argu­ment. It’s a pinky swear.
• You can­not tell me how hor­ri­ble Hillary will be on abor­tion. I know this. The ques­tion is not whether Hillary will be bad, but whether Trump will be bet­ter.
• You can’t tell me how hor­ri­ble abor­tion is. I know. To focus on the hor­rors of abor­tion only avoids the ques­tion: Will Trump be bet­ter? How do I know, beyond what he has “promised”?

But by all means, if you can prove to me that Trump will be bet­ter than Hillary on abor­tion, with­out using any of the above argu­ments, I will vote for him. The com­box is yours. Go.
