And he’ll turn liberal again. Count on it.

But it wasn’t the issue of slavery that sparked the war. The concern of slavery was later used to justify the tremendous suffering and loss of life.

Wrong: Here's a writer who fell for him, just like you did

And Cruz was Canadian until 2015. What's your point? Cannot change his mind? Cruz did. It will be okay. Have a little faith. Our Father...Thy will be done...

I’m not sure he is trustworthy.

I sure loved when he shined light on the rapist and murderer illegal aliens.

I wish he’d go back to that rather than obsessing on Ted Cruz and praising Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Either of them is preferable to anything the RATs have to offer.

Some critics? He supported amnesty himself for years - all the way up to June 2015.

Nobody ever changes his mind, right? Or subordinates his own preferences to those he serves?

He will turn on a dime.

A fear driven response. A valid one because he has changed his mind on some issues we hold dear. May I posit that a lot of people have also done so, on many things over the course of their years. Personally, I converted to Catholiscm early in my 3rd decade. Some of us learned things the hard way at times. However, once we arrive a good side for ourselves most usually don't go back. It's kind of the 'been there done that' knowledge that comes with experience. IMO.

Going back to the article if we may, the "issue of the day" is immigration. Can I ask your opinion on this key part. It relates to your fear of him turning on a dime.

Maybe he will, maybe he won't. But it is certain that most of the other candidates will not.

“if you check out Trump’s 40 year career, he always does what he says he will.”

Therein lies the problem. In his book “The America We Deserve,” Trump pushed hard for universal health care. As to how the country might achieve universal coverage, Trump focused on a Canadian-style, single-payer plan. That’s what he wants for this country. Are you OK with that?

“Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. But it is certain that most of the other candidates will not.”

As I wrote, I agree with the article and the above sentence is absolutely correct.

Anyone else who does that is labeled a flip-flopper. But somehow it’s just different with Trump, is it?

“That’s why I’m saying what I’m saying.

Trump can be counted on to make the decisions that will best serve his own interests.

Only if he (or whoever) flops back again is he a flip-flopper.

And nothing would serve his interests better than a stronger, freer, more prosperous America! So I can live with him doing well.

Unless he decides another more lucrative interest takes precedence.

Yes... absolutely. Especially those who flip back and forth on party affiliations.

Ok. Good. In the case of this article's premise his own interests coincide with mine. The times he addresses other issues we have to prepare to be ready to discuss and if necessary hold him or any one else to account. If Republican's form the base of Donald's election win, and he has any coattails whatsoever, he will listen. It's one of his greatest traits IMO.

someone must not have read him the letter where Lincoln basically said he was just dandy with slavery

And yet, Lincoln ended slavery. So in essence, doing the right thing is superior to saying the right things ala a "real conservative".
