I applauded when Donald Trump jumped into the Republican presidential nominating fray. Here was someone with overwhelming national recognition due to his celebrity status, as well as someone who was politically independent due to his wealth. Someone of that stature could potentially drive a stake through the heart of the Republican establishment and forcefully blunt the folly of political correctness that has inundated American society. During the early stages of his campaign Trump exceeded all expectations in both of these arenas. However,as the novelty has begun to wear thin and his speeches and talking points have become annoyingly repetitive the question must be asked:who is Donald Trump?
.....he has dramatically changed positions on taxes,health care,gun control,labor unions,immigration and abortion over the past 20 years....there is no thinking person,much less a politician,that has not evolved in their approach and positions on various political issues over the years particularly as they get older and circumstances change.
While Trump's vacillations on issues over the years are not overly troubling on the surface,these dramatic evolutions do require a thought provoking examination of his character and who he truly is...
..In a deposition,conducted on December 19-20,2007,the following exchange between Trump and the attorney for the Defendant took place [Trump:I'm worth whatever I feel]:...
Over the years Trump has contributed enormous sums of money to individual Democrats and party campaign committees including the most unethical and partisan Senate Majority Leader in recent history-Harry Reid...[justifying]these contributions as being necessary to essentially buy influence in order to get his real estate projects etc. approved...
..but that does not explain when asked in February of 2014 who were his favorite journalists,he listed such liberal luminaries as: Maureen Dowd,Diane Sawyer,Andrea Peyser,George Stephanopoulis,Bob Scheiffer and Mika Brezinski...in 1999 when he quit the Republican Party saying, "I just believe the Republicans are just too crazy right."?......

That’s lame, even for you.
You don’t even live here.
What’s any of this, to you?
Enjoy Germany and quit bugging the rest of us.
Trump: I'm worth whatever I feel
2007 Deposition...:
Trump: My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with the markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings, but I try.
Ceresney: Let me just understand that a little. You said your net worth goes up and down based upon your own feelings?
Trump: Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is, where the world is going, and that can change rapidly from day to day ...
Ceresney: When you publicly state a net worth number, what do you base that number on?
Trump: I would say it's my general attitude at the time that the question may be asked. And as I say, it varies.....
Your regular squirming from your disgusting candidate is notable, that’s all.
Switched in 1999 to indie, then 2001 to dems... been critical of the Jeb and the Bush clan for a long time.
I know Donald was good friends with Lee Awater, maybe Donald knows something about the Bushies... Something dark and bad.
I agree with your thought there.
Just more of the high moral road Ted and his minions love to travel.
See post 35, for taking responsibility for your stupid comments and *not* hiding behind your health problems, like a sissy, when someone calls you on them.
Life isn’t fair.
Suck it up.
Look how easy it was to melt you down. Or really your disgusting candidate.
No, I saw someone posted that about a call to Rush. But, no, it wasn't me.
Because he’s neck deep in Turks and Syrians in Berlin and this takes his mind off of it.
OMG, that’s earthshaking...
ROTFLMAO
Don’t you have some cookies to sell door to door?
Maybe this law professor wants to be nominated for Supreme Court Justice if Rafael Edward “Ted†Cruz becomes President.
Let me know when you find evidence of it.
Meanwhile just picture me with my feet up watching another Trump rally inside your head.
No, what’s really funny, is that you’ll never answer it.
You could not, for one second, be honest and answer that simple question.
It would destroy your entire ‘argument’.
Those curly ques drive me. Here is the readable version:
Maybe this law professor wants to be nominated for Supreme Court Justice if Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz becomes President.
*Real* squirming is refusing to answer one simple, honest question.
I can see why you are attracted to Trump and his disgusting mocking of a handicapped person.
Btw, it’s funny you being a Thug for your candidate when he cowardly did the political correct thing and claimed he did not know the reporter was handicapped.
I’m “melted down”?
Will you now kick over the chess board and strut around like a pigeon, declaring yourself victorious?
Heh.
Looks like I hit a nerve.
:)
Yea I just posted the evidence in this thread that you are responding to. Actually I picture you lost in your closet.
LOL
You should add that Trump was a Democrat prior to 1987.
Ronald Reagan was a 2-term Republican governor (’67-’75) of CA - became a Republican in 1962, he was divorced by his first wife because of his conservative activism, and he remained a Republican (for 42 years) until the day he died (2004).
And Ronald Reagan was a Republican activist for 20 years before being elected to his 1st presidential term.
