Well this is one person who doesn't want a corporatist for President. And I certainly don't want someone running for the GOP nomination who has indicated they will run 3rd party if they don't get the nomination. What evidence do we have that Trump will be conservative if elected? Right now he's just saying what the base/tea party wants to hear. And throwing in a bit of populism for good measure. Don't forget back in the 90s Trump was flirting with Jesse Ventura and the reform party. Also during that time he advocated a one-time 14.25% 'wealth tax'. What the hell is conservative about that?

Yeah, that all could be. It’s just lame to make anything out of his contributions to candidates. That’s business.

The wealth tax was weird, but it was coupled with an elimination of the death tax completely, if I remember right.

While I don’t agree with it, it made sense in a way. Pay less now, save more later, and brute-force the national debt out of existence.

It wouldn’t work now. Not sure it would have then either, I think people would have found ways around it.

I’d be interested in what he says about it now.
