I applauded when Donald Trump jumped into the Republican presidential nominating fray. Here was someone with overwhelming national recognition due to his celebrity status, as well as someone who was politically independent due to his wealth. Someone of that stature could potentially drive a stake through the heart of the Republican establishment and forcefully blunt the folly of political correctness that has inundated American society. During the early stages of his campaign Trump exceeded all expectations in both of these arenas. However,as the novelty has begun to wear thin and his speeches and talking points have become annoyingly repetitive the question must be asked:who is Donald Trump?
.....he has dramatically changed positions on taxes,health care,gun control,labor unions,immigration and abortion over the past 20 years....there is no thinking person,much less a politician,that has not evolved in their approach and positions on various political issues over the years particularly as they get older and circumstances change.
While Trump's vacillations on issues over the years are not overly troubling on the surface,these dramatic evolutions do require a thought provoking examination of his character and who he truly is...
..In a deposition,conducted on December 19-20,2007,the following exchange between Trump and the attorney for the Defendant took place [Trump:I'm worth whatever I feel]:...
Over the years Trump has contributed enormous sums of money to individual Democrats and party campaign committees including the most unethical and partisan Senate Majority Leader in recent history-Harry Reid...[justifying]these contributions as being necessary to essentially buy influence in order to get his real estate projects etc. approved...
..but that does not explain when asked in February of 2014 who were his favorite journalists,he listed such liberal luminaries as: Maureen Dowd,Diane Sawyer,Andrea Peyser,George Stephanopoulis,Bob Scheiffer and Mika Brezinski...in 1999 when he quit the Republican Party saying, "I just believe the Republicans are just too crazy right."?......

That’s a beaut of an argument you’ve got there, eh?
No wonder Scott wanted to build a wall on the Canadian border!
Hoser.
Oh God, I can’t vote for him now.
Thanks. You saved me from myself.
ROTFLMAO
How many bills has Ted Cruz passed in the Senate? 1
Everyone needs a hobby.
I guess having an obsession might qualify.
Or voted for, then spoke out against?
Video captures are the bane of truth.
One millisecond can make the difference between a hero and a hell spawn.
A pox on those who manipulate reality.
Donald Trump is a Patriot who is smashing PC cultural marxism to pieces. No other candidate can do what Trump does.
Yes he’s flawed, yes he has a checkered past, but so much bad has happened in the last 8, hell 4 years, that a lot of people have come around.
I’m sorry, but Ted Cruz isn’t the fighter we need right now, and in a general only Trump will go toe to toe with the dems and blow them to pieces.
If you don’t see this then we’re heading for another loss.
Aww, you’re so cute.
We’ve been over those things for seven months now, and you’re still incapable of grasping others aren’t buying in.
On just one issue.
Trump gave $100s of thousands of dollars to Republicans too.
Does that make him a Republican in your eyes?
I’ll bet that makes your head hurt.
Good.
Someone woke Trump up and he went through the motions while Cruz puts his hand close as he can to his heart.
You can repeat that liberal talking point all you like, but it was the reporter that brought up the idea of a Canadian border wall.
So, if all you have in your playbook for diverting attention away from Trump’s behavior and leftist ideology, is to resort to the Trump-like tactic of repeating leftist talking points (and in your case about someone who is no longer running), it would appear that you are bankrupt in the facts department.

See post 26 about squirming.
People who use their “handicaps” as emotional foxholes, from which they viciously snipe are absolute scum and should not expect their “disability” to protect them from the consequences of their nastiness, forever.
If a guy in a wheelchair gropes your wife’s ass, are you just gonna let him keep fondling her, to his heart’s content, because he’s “pitiful”?
Here is a history of Trump’s party registrations:
July 1987: Republican
October 1999: Independence Party
August 2001: Democrat
September 2009: Republican
December 2011: No party affiliation (independent)
April 2012: Republican
We must also remember that President Ronald Reagan started out as a registered Democrat and New Deal supporter. He even encouraged Dwight D. Eisenhower to run for President as a Democrat in 1952. Reagan crossed over to the GOP in 1962.
Not at all, but I’m glad you spend time obsessing over the idea I do.
I’m obviously living in your head rent free.
Cruz is a hypocrite. Talks about New York City values then takes money from two gay billionaires in New York:
Did more digging and Cruz’s senate campaign was paid in part by another gay billionaire:

I thought gay billionaires were Marco’s terrain...
The point is this is politics and no one is perfect. Also CW, did you call Rush after Walker dropped out? I remember a call from a pro-Walker/anti-Trump woman back then and she reminded me of you!
What’s funny is that you expect a response to that crap you posted.
I remember the night it was posted here about that wall, and all the crap you took trying to defend him. That was the beginning of the end for dear Scotty.
