But the claim that Trump isn't conservative just doesn't hold water.

My FRiend, Trump has been a democrat most of his life. He donated to democrats far more than he has donated to republicans. He has been out there in the public on this for most of his life.

Trump was a registered Democrat from 2001-2008. He switched his registration the very year that, in his telling, the Republicans “crashed the economy.” In truth, Trump is a natural Democrat. His views on major issues are — or were until recently — standard-issue liberal. (Copied from Rline)

[Trump] has supported massive tax increases on the wealthy, a Canadian-style single-payer health care system, and is a fierce protection. He once declared himself “strongly pro-choice” and favored drug legalization. He accused Republicans who want to reform entitlement programs — the essential task for those who favor limited government — of “attacking” Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Barack Obama couldn’t have said it better. (Also Copied from Rline)

Trump is only a conservative-come-lately. It concerns me. But I'll go read your post. I used Rline only because it was the first thing that popped up on google when I looked for some back up. There is a wealth and a long history. Trump in a known entity and there is plenty of research to do on him. I'm quite surprised, for all the RINO bashing we do here, that more aren't more suspicious.

Since you didn't read my post before posting another hit piece on trump, I'll repost it here for you.

He donated to democrats far more than he has donated to republicans.

The facts don't back that up:

We went to two authoritative databases of campaign finance data to examine Ferguson’s numbers: OpenSecrets.org, to find federal donations, and FollowtheMoney.org, for state-level donations.
Trump has actually been relatively evenhanded in doling out cash to the two parties, but since 1989, he’s contributed over $350,000 more to Republicans running for federal and state offices, campaign finance records show.
Data from the Federal Election Commission and state elections offices provided by the two websites show that Trump has given $584,850 to Democrats and $961,140 to the GOP over the last 26 years.

I think what people are FINALLY realizing is that being right on 41 issues, or 1,499 issues, for that matter, DOES NOT MATTER if a particular Republican doesn’t “get it” on Immigration, all immigration.

Allow this country to flooded with people from South of the border and you will get a nation that looks and votes no different than those South of the border...and being correct on the other 1499 issues - Common Core, abortion, health care, etc. WILL NOT MATTER - since the Republicans will cease being a national party, just as happened in California when the state got flooded with them.

So we give Trump a pass on the other issues. As Rush pointed out today, 14 of the Republican candidates have supported Schumer’s version of Amnesty in some form, only Cruz and Trump have not. Furthermore only Trump has made it clear that ALL of the illegals need to go home, and although some, perhaps many, will be allowed back legally, we don’t know the terms, but they will be HIS TERMS, not their terms, and it may simply be work permits, where their wives and would-be anchor babies have to stay home. We shall find out.

As to the others, they had a DECADE to choose between the base and the Big Money on Open Borders, they went with the money - so now it’s over for them.
