Joe Scarborough: Donald Trump Is A Centrist Democrat On Social Issues, "It's Not Been A Secret"
RCP ^ | 4/22/16 | Tim Hains

Posted on 04/22/2016 8:39:14 AM PDT by KansasGirl

Joe Scarborough reacts to the debate surrounding the revelation of "two Donald Trumps" -- a conservative primary Trump giving way to a centrist general election Trump.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: [Trump] is going back to what he has always been. We have said on this air nonstop. He is a Democrat. He is a centrist Democrat. Who gave money to Democrats for years. He has never been a conservative. That's not been a secret to anybody. And yet he has blown the doors off every Republican primary.

And when he goes into the general election, it is going to be harder for Democrats to say he has been a right wing religious fanatic who is going to keep you away from abortion, and keep you away from same-sex...

It doesn't make it right or wrong, it makes it harder for Democrats.

And so we are on the cusp of having a Democrat as the nominee for the Republican party - and I thought the Trump supporters were OPPOSED to the UniParty! And here they are making it a reality.

The one that liberals and Democrats fear the most are the ones they always talk about and try to denigrate.

Trump is a Democrat on fiscal issues as well. Class warfare and big government are not conservative positions nor is socialized healthcare. Oh, and I know Trump hired others to write policy papers to post on his website, but he has not stayed true to those positions in interviews and debates, and he didn’t even pretend to be other than a fiscal Democrat before seeking the GOP nomination.

He’s there for trade and immigration. If he falters on those two he’s done

Joe Scarborough: Donald Trump Is A Centrist Democrat On Social Issues, “It’s Not Been A Secret”

________________________________________________

I so disagree with Joe here. Trump is not a Centrist Democrat. No, he’s a PROGRESSIVE Democrat.

Explains why Trump directed his most heavy fire at conservative Republicans such as Walker and Cruz.

TRUTH! Can’t wait for a general election between progressive Democrat Trump and progressive Democrat Hillary.

Trump has even admitted behind closed doors that his whole primary schtick was just an act.

I saw this live. Seeing that (regardless of what he says) Scarborough is an establishment guy still dreaming of a Jeb Bush nomination, I would just consider this another attack.

Truth about stated positions, Trump is not a "Centrist Democrat" on social issues, such as gay marriage, Abortion, Amnesty, and Global Warming. All of these are issues where every Democrat has no middle ground.

Thinking about it, can anyone define and identify any "Centrist Democrat"?

He hasn’t started on the wall (Cruz stole that one) yet or torn up TPP (Cruz ran from) yet.

If it turns out he’s lying about his positions on the 2nd Amendment, I’m not only not going to vote for him, I doubt I will ever vote in an US election again. I will wait for the inevitable breakup.

Not in this case. They promoted Trump to block out a conservative challenger to Hillary. It is a win-win in there eyes because they know Trump is a Democrat.

Wake up...Trump is not a centrist democrat...He is a centrist businessman...Yes, he’s given money to democrats...Yes, he’s given money to republicans...

Everyone wants to put a tag on Trump...”He’s a democrat!!!”
“He’s a republican!!!”

He’s neither...I’ve said this before...

He’s a successful businessman who sees the disaster that is the USA right now...His businesses go the same way as the country...he knows that not one of the “establishment elites” in Washington give a damn about what the country does as long as they keep their cushy lifestyles and go on giving speeches every few months to continue giving promises that they have no intention in keeping...

They laugh at us behind closed doors and enjoy their UNIPARTY at OUR expense...

Trump saw the only way to stop this BS is to become the leader of the country as he has his businesses...That’s the way to save his businesses AND the country...

If you people can’t see this, then there is little help for you or the country...You can just go on and complain and bicker and live with “politics as usual”....

There are many Social Conservatives that are concerned that Trump will be able to put together a Majority of Republican primary voters and a majority in the General election, without them.

And it's a legitimate concern.

But, what if he does? What then?

Candidates strong on 2nd amendment to not donate money to anti-2nd amendment Senate, House, and Presidential candidates as Trump has done.
