And you can draw a straight line from those attitudes in college to the positions he has taken in this campaign.

Why did he freely join a group known for mocking or making fun of people of faith? And secondly, when is it ever a good idea -- A good idea to tie up a woman and ask her to kneel before a false idol, your God that you call Aqua Buddha?

You don't have the guts to stand by your positions because once you get out there and put them out there and you realize you can't sell them and get elected on them and you step back from them.
