“No, you’re stating Trump doesn’t support liberals and liberal causes.”

Where did I state that? Post quotes.

When you make an assertion it’s yours to back up, not mine.

You made the assertion; “No, you’re stating Trump doesn’t support liberals and liberal causes” back it up - or don’t make them in the future.

I posted that he supported liberals, democrats, unions and then you posted links to all the lies about what Trump says.

The obvious inference is that my statement that he has supported liberals, unions, democrats, etc. to be false.

When I charge that he has interests in the middle east you deflect by pointing out that Foxnews does as well.

You seek to deflect, distract and confuse. All signs of a professional liar.

The inference is yours not mine.

Trump has supported both sides with donations. What that actually means is opinion. We don’t know what he got out of it. Probably not what he wanted which is part of why he says he’s running now.

I’m in IBEW. So I don’t have a problem with Trump and unions. Trump has actually employed more union and other employees than all the other candidates combined many times over.

“he has interests in the middle east”

What kind of interests? His company owns real estate in the middle east. That’s not like McCain meeting with terrorists, or any other status quo politician’s connections.

Well when he recently made comments about Muslims one of his huge business deals was put on hold.

This is one - http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/10/business/donald-trump-loses-luster-when-words-reach-the-middle-east.html?_r=0

Heres a site with a partial list - http://mic.com/articles/130070/here-are-some-of-donald-trump-s-middle-east-business-ventures#.K4b29dDuj

Then theres the $800m investment in the UK.

“Trump has actually employed more union and other employees than all the other candidates combined many times over.”

Now we see why you support Trump.

What I don’t understand is why you’ve been deflecting from Trumps history.

I voted Reagan too, voted for Ron Paul, and will vote for Cruz if he is the nominee. I’ve NEVER voted for a democrat presidential candidate. You don’t know me at all.

Why are you deflecting from the positives in Trump’s history?

So what? Those are business deals - not status quo political deals. There is a huge difference between the two.

Thank you for your posts.

The mindless mania for Trump is hard for a logical person to understand.

Cruz is the better candidate in every way, but they just have to have Trump. Many of them are not that smart but some of them are quite smart.

I’ve tried to keep my posts free of personal criticism and about Trump and Cruz, but I’ve been verbally abused daily.

I don’t care. I just care about the country.

RE:”Thinking all tariffs means is the cost of our goods will go up is very shallow analysis. Tariffs are a negotiating tool - against currency manipulation and unfair trade imbalance. “

??? We seen an example of Trump showing his negotiation skills with FNC over getting Kelly kicked off the debate.
1) FNC tells him to pound sand
2) Trump runs away and skips the debate, Kelly is still a moderator.

Same trump formula with tariffs:
1) China tells him to pound sand
2) Trump raises taxes (tariffs) on the stuff we buy.

“Those are business deals - not status quo political deals. There is a huge difference between the two.”

Is there? If someone in the middle east has the potential to control the US President because of significant financial interests its not a “big deal”?

What about policy decisions made next February? How do we know those will be for America and not to increase his personal wealth?

Because you haven’t presented any positives. You’ve only deflected from his history.

Yes I did. There are positives being posted about Trump many times a day here on FR.
