I suppose you could go back far enough and find something Reagan said that would not fit what we think is conservative.

With Trump, you only have to go back as far as 2008 when he supported Barack Obama for president.

In a 1999 chat with Larry King, Trump said: "I'm very liberal when it comes to healthcare. I believe in universal healthcare. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better."

Does he think the same now?

In July, he told King: "You can't let the people in this country that are the poor people, the people without the money and resources go without healthcare. I just can't even imagine. You're sick and you can't even go to a doctor. I say one thing, can you not let 25 percent (sic) of the people of the country because they have no money go without something?"

Then Trump should use his fortune to open and run a charity or Christian hospital.

I guess I would be what Trump, born into wealth and display, classifies as "the poor people, the people without the money and resources."

There's a big difference between health insurance and health care. Charities are on hand to take care of the poor, and it is our job as Christians to do that. The government has OTHER duties. If Trump wants to run a charity, he should do it on his own dime -- I want to vote for someone who is willing to leave my decisions on health care up to me, my doctor, and my insurance company if I choose to employ one..

“With Trump, you only have to go back as far as 2008 when he supported Barack Obama for president.”

Can people like you really, sincerely, comfort yourself with this kind of nonsense, or does it involve something more sinister. Someone on this site should know better.

1.) Trump endorsed and raised money for McCain in the 2008 election. You can find that in your google search. Those facts are INCONTROVERTIBLE.

2.) The article you reference pertains to positive statement Trump made about Obama AFTER Obama was elected the first time. About the only person who did not make such purring pronouncements AFTER the election was Rush Limbaugh. But Rush does not have a business to run that involves potential interference from politicians all over the country, especially in the Northeast, where Trump is located.

Now, I will admit, that article is misleading, for someone who doesn’t dig very deep. Or, it can be used to intentionally mislead, as was its original purpose.
