So am I to believe that Trump was still a Republican when he ran as the Reform party candidate in 2000???
Not to be rude, but you are free to believe whatever you wish.
I merely posted a copy of his official voting record.
Definitely not a Republican. But the question before us isn't one of party loyalty. The party loyalists are the like of McConnell, Boehner, Haley Barbour, Thad Cochran, and so on.
Donald Trump entered the race briefly, giving television interviews outlining his platform. Trump was progressive on social issues, and supported allowing openly gay soldiers in the military, saying: "it would not disturb me."^[6] Trump considered himself a conservative, but criticized Pat Buchanan, saying: "I'm on the conservative side, but Buchanan is Attila the Hun."^[7] He withdrew from the race citing the party's infighting,^[8] as did Jesse Ventura and the Minnesota Reform Party. Donald Trump stated: "So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi, Mr. Buchanan, and a communist, Ms. Fulani. This is not company I wish to keep.".^[9]^[10] "Mr Duke" was a reference to David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan.
