You’re not honestly expecting that, are you? For Donald to go after his good friends that are Democrats? Prepare to be disappointed. He may go after Obama a little. And he’ll make a few cracks about Hillary (she is a woman, supposedly, after all). But he will never actually blame the Democrats like he has already blamed the Republican Party and conservatives for the fubar condition of the nation.

Here’s what he said back in 2004...

Donald Trump says Democrats are better for the economy.

BLITZER: Do you identify more as a Democrat or Republican?
TRUMP: Well, you’d be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as Democrat. And I think you’d probably be shocked...

BLITZER: On social issues?

TRUMP: You know, it’s interesting, I’ve been now around long — you know, I think of myself as a young guy, but I’m not so young anymore. And I’ve been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...

BLITZER: Well, it certainly did well under Clinton. But I wouldn’t suggest it was so great under Jimmy Carter.

TRUMP: That’s true. That’s true.

BLITZER: If you remember, the interest rates...

TRUMP: No, I know. I know. Jimmy Carter was not in the same thing.

But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we’ve had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans.
