Trump Often Flubs When ‘Speaking Conservative’

“Think about when he answered a question about outlawing abortion by saying that women who sought abortions should receive ‘some form of punishment.’ Think about when he answered a debate question about raising the minimum wage by protesting that ‘wages are too high.'”

“These aren’t Trump’s own core issues, or the issues of his base. But they’re important to swaths of the Republican Party. As the party’s nominee, he’s tried to learn how to speak their language. But he speaks it with a heavy accent — and woeful miscommunication ensues.”
