Donald Trump is the only candidate in the 2016 race who A) fights, B) tells it like it is, and C) has a plan to make America great again. Everybody is talking about how he won the GOP debate. He gets bigger crowds than Bernie Sanders. Sure, hes advocated liberal policies and supported Democratic politicians in the past, but that just proves Donald Trump is a savvy businessman. RINOs and other members of the politically correct establishment will keep attacking him because they are fat slobs with ugly wives who cant afford a classy suit.
American voters fed up with the GOP establish have a duty to stand up and defend The Donalds previous positions, for example:
Support for Planned Parenthood
HE DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE ABORTIONS. NOT HIS FAULT FOR CARING ABOUT WOMEN.
Support for single-payer healthcare
MITCH MCCONNELL SUPPORTS OBAMACARE. GOVERNMENT HEALTHCARE MIGHT NOT BE SO BAD WITH A BUSINESSMAN IN CHARGE.
Support for massive tax increases
REAGAN RAISED TAXES TOO AND WAS ALSO A DEMOCRAT LIKE TRUMP.
Trumps current positions must also be defended from outrageous attacks, such as:
Mexico probably isnt going to pay for a border wall
YES, THEY WILL. TRUMP HAS A PLAN TO MAKE THEM.
That plan isnt going to work
HE HAS A PLAN. SHUT UP.
Supporting an assault weapons ban isnt very pro-gun
WHO CARES? TRUMP ISNT BEHOLDEN TO SPECIAL INTERESTS LIKE THE NRA.
He still supports raising taxes
TAX HILLARY!!
Hes just making this up as he goes
TRUMP IS NOT A SCRIPTED POLITICIAN AND HIS POLICIES ARE MORE DETAILED THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE. HELL BUILD THE WALL AND GET MEXICO TO PAY FOR IT.
And, because The Donald can be a tad unpredictable, we must be prepared to justify whatever positions he may take in the future. For example:
$60-per-hour minimum wage
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. OBAMA HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR THE ECONOMY.
Carbon tax
A BRILLIANT POLITICAL MOVE TO APPEAL TO INDEPENDENTS IN A GENERAL ELECTION. WE CAN USE THE REVENUE TO FUND THE BORDER WALL IF MEXICO WONT PAY WHICH THEY WILL BECAUSE THE DONALD WILL MAKE THEM.
Bank nationalization
SHREWD PLAY TO SHORE UP SUPPORT FROM BERNIE SANDERS VOTERS. WHO BETTER TO RUN THE BANKS THAN A BILLIONAIRE WHO MAKES DEALS FOR A LIVING? THIS MAY CONVINCE LIBERAL SENATORS TO SUPPORT A LAND INVASION OF CHINA TO TAKE BACK OUR JOBS.
Pardons Hillary Clinton
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMEN KNOW HOW TO MAKE DEALS SHE WILL OWE HIM BIG TIME. FEW OTHERS WOULD BE SO GRACIOUS THIS WILL HELP HIM WIN THE WOMENS VOTE AGAIN IN 2020.
Nominates Michelle Obama to the Supreme Court
SHE IS MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN THAT SELLOUT JOHN ROBERTS. THE FACT THAT RINO TALKING HEADS DONT LIKE IT JUST PROVES THAT TRUMP IS RIGHT. HIS COMMITMENT TO WOMENS EMPOWERMENT IS INSPIRING.
Sells Alaska back to Russia
TRUMP WAS RIGHT HE DOES GET ALONG WITH PUTIN. WE DONT NEED THE OIL ANYWAY WELL JUST STEAL IT FROM ISIS. THE REVENUES FROM THE SALE WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD FUNDING THE BORDER WALL NOW THAT MEXICO HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT.

The losers collapsed fifty yards from the starting line are wheezing at the passing runners in the marathon to quit.
What part does Trump get right about immigration? That illegals can stay if they “work hard?”
Whether he is analogous to any of the above is irrelevant. The fact that he and Cruz are addressing THE problem facing the U.S. IS the ONLY thing that matters. The illegal immigration issue is urgent and if not taken care of, we're doomed. I told a group of freepers that YEARS ago. Still waiting for them to post here that I indeed DID make an emphatic statement about that years ago in Austin.
I hate to rub it in, because you are a nice lady, but in his next door state (MI) Walker is tied for 8th place with 4%, along with Christie and Huckabee, while Trump leads with 20 percent. In Iowa he’s doing a bit better in third place with 9% v. Trump with 22%. How long has Walker been campaigning there? Trump will be there at the fair today, offering free rides for the kids in his helicopter. It’ll be yuge, just watch.
“....[Glenn Beck] proceeded to dish a detailed list of all the things he didnt understand about Trump:
He is part of the problem when he by his own admission, buys politicians; he said he identifies his policies more as a democrat; he makes President Obama look truly humble; he was very pro abortion until very recently; he still says dont defund planned parenthood; he is pro assault weapon ban; he is in favor of a wealth tax that would just take money out of peoples bank accounts; he is for boots on the ground in Iraq and taking the oil from the Iraqi people; he is a progressive republican’; he says single payer health care works; he said he would give people more than just Obama care; the First Lady would be the first to have posed nude in lesbian porno shots; he said that he keeps all the bibles he is given in a special place out side the city and he only goes to church on Christmas and Easter; he is generally not a likable guy; he has around 16% favorability with Hispanics and he has gone bankrupt 4 times.

Trump is given a pass for “evolving views,” yet Scott Walker is a GOP-e progressive RINO statist amnesty shill for tightening his 2010 position on illegals.
Where’s Trump’s “evolution” from support of the Kelo decision?
Walker: Why does Trump keep attacking me with debunked Democrat talking points?
From Free Fall to Free Markets: How Wisconsin Turned Itself Around
And 70% of US Citizens agree that this is issue # 1.
Build the damn wall. Deport the criminals. Turn off the spigot of illegals just strolling in and signing up for welfare.
It’s also important to note that Scott Walker became governor of Wisconsin in January 2011, by June of 2011 he was the first and ONLY governor to REVOKE instate tuition for illegals.
The replies are just amazing...they are projecting onto Trump what they want him to be - and making all kinds of illogical arguments to defend his many left leaning positions, statements and actions. It’s Obama bot like in many ways.
Well that’s swell. What’s his position on illegal immigration ? Sealing the borders ?

I couldn’t tell if #10 was a put on (a double, double reverse).
But...but Trump is attracting Democrat voters and that is a good thing (so I’m being told by his supporters). Even Stiles has donated to his campaign.
I don’t think it was parody....not 100% sure....but some of these folks are beyond satire.
If Reno was being absurd merely to demonstrate absurdity, he’ll tell us. If not, well, it was just absurd.
Who was the first State Governor to invoke “instate tuition to illegals?” Do you know? That fact is also important.
June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin "- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it."...
March 2015: We strongly dispute this account. Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false, she announced in an email to journalists Thursday afternoon.
I made it clear that for me, if somebody wants to be a citizen, they need to go back to their country of origin, get in line, no preferential treatment, Walker said. In terms of what to do beyond that, again, thats something we got to work with Congress on.
Seems the article’s underlying point strikes me as merely, “Get even with the GOPe by supporting Trump! That’ll teach em’!”. So much of Trumps support has this weird, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” vibe to it and not much else.
I can’t trust Trump any further than I could throw him. He’s had stances on all sides of all issues which make me wonder how those positions will (ahem) “evolve” tomorrow. And if elected, would his “evolving” positions lead him to “negotiate” away more of what little is left of the Constitution, just so he can be seen as “the winner” of a deal with congress?
I think I’ll stick with supporting Cruz. I hope Trump enjoys his spotlight while it lasts. He always suffers a meltdown when things don’t go his way. It’s just a matter of time until he gets his fill.
And for those who want to spank the GOPe, I believe electing a conservative would be much better option than electing a billionaire-blowhard who was all for liberal policies until he needed to be perceived as having “evolved” on those issues.
TX (Rick Perry) 2002
Both with veto proof legislative support.
Wisconsin enacted a similar law in 2009 (Gov. Jim Doyle (D) 2003-2011), but then revoked that law in (June) 2011. [Gov. Scott Walker took office Jan 2011.]
"2014
"Currently, at least 18 states have provisions allowing in-state tution rates for undocumented students. Fourteen states provide these provisions through state legislationCalifornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. Two statesOklahoma and Rhode Island allow in-state tuition rates to undocumented students through Board of Regents decisions.
California and Texas were the first states to enact legislation in 2001. In 2002, New York and Utah passed similar legislation. During the 2003 and 2004 legislative sessions, Washington, Oklahoma, Illinois and Kansas all passed such laws. Oklahoma has since amended its law, leaving granting of in-state tuition rates to undocumented students up to the Oklahoma Board of Regents. The Board of Regents currently still allows undocumented students, who meet Oklahoma's original statutory requirements, to receive in-state tuition. In 2005 and 2006, New Mexico and Nebraska signed undocumented student tuition legislation into law, and Wisconsin enacted a similar law in 2009, but then revoked that law in 2011. Maryland's governor signed a law in May 2011 allowing undocumented students meeting the specified requirements to pay in-state tuition at community colleges only. Also in 2011, Connecticut enacted a law allowing in-state tuition for undocumented students. In 2013, four states, Colorado, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Oregon enacted laws allowing in-state tuition for undocumented students. Florida passed legislation in May 2014 and was signed by the Governor in June 2014...." Source
