And “purposes” do you believe Trump will compromise for? Personally I see in Trump a man who did NOT want to run for President and he has said this many MANY times in past years but is doing so because he cannot any longer stand by a watch the country he loves be destroyed from within.
So again I ask you. WHY would he compromise on what he believes on and which has brought him so far in the election process? Re election...what? If one is to compromise his beliefs there must be a reason and a goal to be attained. What is that goal?
Or are you just another negative Trump hater?
“And “purposes” do you believe Trump will compromise for?”
I think Trump will be open to going back on what he has said, on opposing what Republicans have stood for for decades if it advances what he believes will work for him. We might see this come about because so many of his statements seem inherently contradictory.
“Personally I see in Trump a man who did NOT want to run for President and he has said this many MANY times in past years but is doing so because he cannot any longer stand by a watch the country he loves be destroyed from within.”
What you just said there sounds naive to me. A number of people have said that he has talked about running for president for a number of years already. I don’t assume he’s doing it merely out of altruism. He’s a billionaire, people say, he doesn’t need this. True, he doesn’t need the money. I think this is more about ego. I think Trump will be surprised about how intractable government can be. We’ll see.
“So again I ask you. WHY would he compromise on what he believes on and which has brought him so far in the election process?”
First, what does he believe? Seriously, what does Trump really believe? Why does he walk back, lessen, or change so many things he previously said?
“Re election...what? If one is to compromise his beliefs there must be a reason and a goal to be attained. What is that goal?”
Other than getting himself elected, I don’t know what Trump’s goals are. What does he really believe in besides himself and some vague (and with him, inarticulate) sense of the greatness of America? Is he going to try to balance the budget and pay off our debts? How? He says he’ll strengthen our military. How? How do you spend more on the military (which we need) while cutting the budget? How do you get Democrats in Congress to agree to vote for it? How to you get Republicans (these days) to do it? How is he going to bring jobs back from Asia? How will he do it while now talking about how he might be open to raising the minimum wage? And by the way, I am not saying that Trump should give away his bargaining chips ahead of time and reveal how he will do these things. I actually agree with him on one level when he says he doesn’t want to reveal his cards too early. Okay, fine. What I’m saying is that after listening to him for months now, I still have no idea if he even understands any of the major issues confronting the country. I have no idea. . . and it’s not from a lack of trying on my part. I have watched dozens of hours of his speeches and interviews, read his interviews, and I still have no idea what he knows. Just last night his son Eric admitted he and his brother (and Ivanka, of course) are his principal advisers. I have no doubt that they can help him with his campaign for the nomination but who is helping him prepare for Hillary? Who is advising him on military issues? International affairs? Terrorism? Trade with Asia, the TPP? Who? Apparently, no one really.
Trump was a Democrat for decades. In many ways, I think he still is and many people who support him are doing to him what Democrats did to Obama in 2008. People ignored the outrageously stupid things Obama said in 2008 because they wanted a messiah to save them. And the press covered for Obama. Now people are ignoring that Trump really seems to have no principles, little understanding of the U.S. Constitution, or how the government works in a republic, or international affairs. And the press is NOT covering for him and it doesn’t matter.
“Or are you just another negative Trump hater?”
Nope. I have been cheering for his battle against Political Correctness throughout the primary season. I like his tax plan. I like the fact that he loves America and is supportive of our troops. The problem is I can’t tell what his real principles are and I’m not sure what he really believes. I see things as they are. He’s not perfect, far from it. I’ll vote for him over Hillary any day, but I do not know for sure if he’ll be a good president or not. Millions are in the same boat. They’ll vote for Trump, but they have grave reservations about his knowledge, competence, and abilities.
You know what, I’m a Trump supporter, but this nonsense of, “...are you just another Trump hater?” does neither Trump nor your argument any good at all. Throughout the remainder of this campaign and throughout the course of his term in office, he will be subject to the same scrutiny as anyone else. While I support him and will vote for him (unless something drastic occurs), I drink Kool-Aid for no one. Like any candidate, we will need to remind him of why we voted for him anytime he appears to be waffling on any topic.
As for your claim that he “did NOT want to run for president” and has said so many times in the past, the truth of the matter is that he considered a run for president in 1988 and has done so several times since (1988, 1999, 2004 and 2012). Ergo, you can’t honestly characterize him as a reluctant candidate.
And, to answer your question as to why he might compromise on the issues that will bring him the nomination, that’s easy: To gain the support and funding of the RNC and win the presidency, which is going to cost $1-1.5 billion.
