So is this really going to be the Republican nominee who will offer an enticing and principled alternative to Hillary?

“Look, Planned Parenthood has done very good work for many, many — for millions of women,” Trump said in a news conference Tuesday night. “And I’ll say it, and I know a lot of the so-called conservatives, they say that’s really … cause I’m a conservative, but I’m a common-sense conservative.”

Trump said he would not fund Planned Parenthood “as long as you have the abortion going on,” but noted the “millions of people — and I’ve had thousands of letters from women — that have been helped.”

“So called conservatives” even got the finger quote treatment — and Christie behind Trump looks like he’s waiting to ask for directions to the bus stop:

Hillary’s probably at 1600 Penn measuring for curtains (again) as we speak.

Planned Parenthood doesn’t seem moved by Trump’s recent acquiescence:

Bottom line: @realDonaldTrump is #NotMyCandidate & we’ll do everything we can to ensure he doesn’t make it to the White House. #NeverTrump

The Republican convention this summer might be anything but boring.
