The thing which concerns me is that many voters will cast their votes to get the "reality" that they want.... instead Trump will continue to pander to those desires even if in the end it means a grimmer outcome then what they hoped.
The big problem is that we have no record on which to judge Trump on what he says Now...... He has never held political office, has never been a major contributor to pro-rights efforts, and has never used his power and influence to advance the debate on rights issues..........we have nothing but his statements .... which have changed over the years. That’s not all that reassuring.
"From The Hill last July:
"I probably identify more as a Democrat" so sayeth Donald J Trump a few years ago during a CNN interview. During the same interview he opinionated (he does a lot of that) that "It just seems that the economy does better under Democrats than the Republicans". He confirmed his views just a few months ago on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" when he said 'I identify with some things as a Democrat."
Further back, he proclaimed Republicans "too crazy right."
These are not just one-time gaffes since he had practiced what he has preached since that interview. Is Trump a crypto-Democrat?
He certainly has put his money where his mouth has been. Democrats have been the primary beneficiaries of his political donations until a few years ago when he started giving to Republicans. (See below.)
He has had high praise for the Clintons and opened his wallet to them.
In 2007, Hillary Clinton was on course to build support for her presidential run and he expressed confidence in her talents: "Hillary's always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job" when predicting she would make a good deal with Iran. She was, Donald said, a "terrific woman."
As Ariel Cohen writes in the Washington Examiner, "Trump and the Clintons have a cozy past":..............." [much more at source]
I thought about the fact that there was no way to judge Trump according to what he has done, but there is. Have any competitors or those who he has worked with found that what he does is dishonorable? HAS HE KEPT HIS WORD? Does he weasel out of contracts?
Look at it this way, he is a competitive business tycoon. He wants America to be the best just as he wants a golf course he is renovating to be the best in the world. Trump @ Twitter: “Many think that the Championship Course at Turnberry, home of The Duel In The Sun, will be the worlds best after the renovation.”
If Trump knows how to build a skyscraper or golf course he knows that the FOUNDATION is the most important part or it will crumble. The constitution and Biblically minded people are the foundation of this republic. I hope he reads the works of the founding fathers to understand that foundation.
Those foundations are a dimension that he must repair with honor, justice, TRUTH, and most of all, the right to life itself which is the foundation of existence. Without the right to life, all else is moot.
>>we have nothing but his statements .... which have changed over the years. That’s not all that reassuring.
Did you read “The America We Deserve”which was written 15 years ago? It is very consistent with what he says now.
Doesn't matter...This election is like none other...The direction and future of this Country rides on this election...
God will judge the nations in the very near future...He will judge us on how we treated his people, Israel...If Trump loses, we will turn our Country over to Izlam...Good luck with that...Look at France, Germany and especially Sweden...That's us just down the road...

Most of your “nevers” are great big pluses for some of us.
