He is PERCEIVED as being a conservative and conservatives would take the blame if any such ‘October surprise’ were to backfire. Why would Trump reveal anything incriminating to 0bama if he were a liberal? Are you suggesting he would offer a ‘surprise’ for purpose of backfiring on Republicans?
“Why would Trump reveal anything incriminating to Obama if he were a liberal?”
Just because he’s not a conservative does not mean he’s a liberal. I have no idea what he is, really, except that he doesn’t like Obama. Among his reasons may be some conservative principles; maybe even most of his reasons are conservative. But that’s not to say he’s one of us.
Anyway, there’s no reason a liberal can’t go after Obama. Why did Nader suck away Gore’s precious votes? Because Gore wasn’t leftist enough.
