How much do we really know about Donald Trump?

On abortion:

Russert:  You would not ban it?  Trump:  No.  Russert:  Or ban partial birth abortion?  Trump:  No.  I am pro-choice in every respect.

Male Announcer:  On health care:

Trump:  Everybody's got to be covered.  Croft:  Universal health care?  Trump:  I am going to take care of everybody.  Croft:  Who pays for it?  Trump:  The government's going to pay for it...

Male Announcer:  Trump's even praised Hillary Clinton:

Trump:  Hillary's always surrounded herself with very good people.  I think Hillary would do a good job.

Male Announcer:  Can we trust Donald Trump?

Notes: Compare to the anti-Trump ad run by Stand ffor Truth, Inc. one of the pro-Cruz super PACs.  Both use the same clip on abortion from NBC News "Meet the Press," both include Trump statements praising Hillary Clinton, and both broadly seek to raise the question of trust.

Katie Packer Gage, who served as deputy campaign manager on Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign, founded Our Principles PAC in Jan. 2016 to take on Donald Trump (although the mission statement doesn't really say that).

Mission Statement
As Thomas Jefferson said, "In matters of style, swim with the current. In matters of principle, stand like a rock." With our nation's progress stalled by politicians who refuse to lead, Americans are rightly frustrated. Our Principles PAC was formed to educate and engage American voters about the men and women who seek our vote, and about the challenging issues they will confront should they get elected.
