Look at the hair.

With Bloody Kelly’s new hair-do they could be twins.

The jury's still out on whether or not he's a true conservative

Not for anyone paying attention.

As far as this article, it’s pretty good. I agree.

Problem is, it’s most likely Trump will do the opposite of what he is saying.

if you check out Trump’s 40 year career, he always does what he says he will.

Some critics argue that Trump was a liberal Democrat until recently and we cannot trust him to keep any of his promises on immigration, or anything else.

Some critics? He supported amnesty himself for years - all the way up to June 2015.

“someone must not have read him the letter where Lincoln basically said he was just dandy with slavery”

That’s an exchange of letters with Horace Greeley IIRC. But Lincoln was hardly indifferent to slavery, it’s rather that his overriding concern was to preserve the Union and if that required guaranteeing slavery’s continued existence he would do it. Frederick Douglass went over this in a speech he gave at the 10th anniversary of Lincoln’s death.

Actually, no.

That’s why I’m saying what I’m saying.

He will turn on a dime.

He's proposed one big government policy after another in this campaign - not just "years ago". He's been consistently liberal up to the present day.

Lincoln gave a speech in January 1848 about the Mexican war stating he his support for secession. Apparently that changed when he was in charge. He was a professional politician and as hypocritical as any of them.

“...Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better— This is a most valuable, — a most sacred right — a right, which we hope and belive, is to liberate the world...”

The media pundits don't get it, though. They offer up all kinds of explanations for Trump's success that have nothing to do with the issue of immigration: It's his simple sentences. It's his rudeness and bruskness. It's his hair. He's an outsider. The people who support him are stupid (40% of Republicans!).

He could of started right there and skipped the intro.

He’s generally turned in what we would call a rightward direction, when turning at all.

In the end we can’t count on men, much less the short sighted molds that we make for them.

We have to count on God. The spirit may be willing and yet the flesh is weak, and so at best we see a colossal detour in our plans. And if we don’t have the patience to make it through the detour, we’ll hang it up before we ever get where we wanted to get.

Well I did a search and what he said was this:

"I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think and feel."

He also said this:

"Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it is his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow."

And this:

"I have always hated slavery, I think, as much as any abolitionist. I have been an Old Line Whig. I have always hated it, but I have always been quiet about it until this new era of the introduction of the Nebraska Bill began."

And finally this: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."

The Establishment and its media minions are ultimately responsible for Trump’s candidacy. And while they attack Trump, their contempt is in fact focused on us. Mutual contempt I suppose.
