New polls show Donald Trump gaining ground in N.H. primary
The Boston Globe ^ | June 25, 2015 | By James Pindell

Some party denziens have dismissed New York businessman Donald Trump and US Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns as sideshows. But new polling shows New Hampshire primary voters might disagree.

Two recent surveys put Trump and Sanders in second place for their respective Republican and Democratic nomination fight — and gaining ground on the party’s front-runners.

On Thursday evening, a new poll from WMUR-TV and CNN shows Trump trailing former Florida Governor Jeb Bush by 5 points among Republican voters in the Granite State. The same survey, conducted by the University of New Hampshire, shows Sanders following US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton by 8 points.

Here what it says - him being a good sport wanting Obama to succeed. As we know that didn't happen though.


"I was his biggest cheerleader," the multibillionaire businessman told Sean Hannity on his Fox TV show Tuesday night. "If you go back three years, I'm saying, 'Do a great job.' I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job.”

Trump goes on,

"However, Trump said, “It's not going to happen because the first thing you'd have to do is end Obamacare. Businesses are going to close down because of Obamacare."

The U.S. economy is a disaster, and the White House is to blame, Trump said.

"I thought he was a positive person, always," Trump said of candidate Obama. "I thought he'd be like a cheerleader for the country. I think he is creating a class warfare that is a very dangerous thing for the country."

And the country "is blowing up" because it's so deeply divided, he said."

However, Trump said, “It's not going to happen because the first thing you'd have to do is end Obamacare. Businesses are going to close down because of Obamacare." "

It sure doesn't say he voted for Obama now does it after he endorsed McCain and Palin.

You really don’t know or care about his politics at all do you?

LoL. I know plenty.

Trump was a democrat for that election.

Newsmax
“Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008”

By the way, I hope you don’t own, or want any of those rifles that Trump think are “assault rifles” and wants banned because “who needs them except criminals and police?”.

I posted much of the same Newsmax article above to you. You’re not fooling anyone.

So who are you voting for?

You people are like stoned idiots, I’m the one posting the Newsmax description of him voting for Obama as a democrat voter, how could that be “fooling anyone”?

Are you a pro-drug libertarian by any chance?

You posted only the first two sentences of the article. I posted more of the pertinent parts of it.

And...

It sure doesn’t say he voted for Obama now after he endorsed the Republican ticket of McCain and Palin.

I don’t do drugs do you?

And who are you voting for?

Actually the most pertinent, was the part about democrat donor and registered democrat Trump voting for Obama.

I asked “Are you a pro-drug libertarian?”

You didn’t understand the question, just as you have not understood anything on this thread, something that I have seen in almost every Trump supporter.

Now now you claimed Trump voted for Obama after he endorsed McCain Palin in 2008. No, Trump didn’t vote for Obama.

I’ll be more clearer for you. I don’t support pro-drug Libertarians or do any drugs.

By the way, I’m not claiming that Trump voted for Obama as a democrat in 2008, he was a democrat, and that is him and Newsmax saying that he voted for Obama.

You from above, post 106- He admits that he voted for Obama, and he admits that he was a democrat when he voted for Obama...

This is just a statement of facts””I’m not voting for the pro-abortion guy who voted for Obama, and as a democrat.””

No, he voted for McCain/Palin.

Newsmax saying that he voted for Obama.

It's not there.

Let’s just say that the strongest evidence of who Trump voted for as a long time democrat in 2008, and whose favorite president is Bill Clinton, is this interview in 2011.

Trump: I Cheered for Obama, but He’s Dangerous
By Amy Woods | Wednesday, 19 Oct 2011

Newsmax
“Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008”

“Donald Trump recalls with chagrin that he supported Barack Obama for president in 2008, but says he now realizes that those moving hope-and-change speeches were nothing more than rhetoric.

Donald Trump, Obama, Hannity”I was his biggest cheerleader,” the multibillionaire businessman told Sean Hannity on his Fox TV show Tuesday night. “If you go back three years, I’m saying, ‘Do a great job.’ I wanted him to do a great job. I still want him to do a great job.”

I wasn't referring specifically to Trump when I said ‘non-politician’, and he's not my ideal candidate, but what I mean by ‘non-politician’ is someone who doesn't have a track record of spending most of their adult life chasing/holding political office (i.e. a career politician). Career politicians will generally do or say whatever is necessary to whomever they need to say it in order to gain/stay in office. That's a recipe for disaster.

Even though my comments were made in the context of this thread on Trump, they were meant to be general. To be honest, I don't know much about him, other than he's a billionaire with a high-profile public life.

Nobody does that more than Donald Trump, notice that his supporters explain everything away, from his being a democrat, to giving most of his money to democrats and the democratic party, to Bill Clinton being his favorite president, to his voting for Obama, and loving Bloomberg, and Al Gore, etc. to Trumps willingness to do and say anything to make him popular or richer.

Trump is a shallow 69 year old real estate hustler, that took his 200 million dollar inheritance and made more, and then became a TV celebrity.

He is as fake and dishonest as they come.
