Donald Trump stealing ideas from Bernie Sanders? Who would have thunk it? What has he supported or flip flopped on so far?

1) This - Rich people should pay more taxes.
2) Supports Planned Parenthood.
3) Supports food stamps and welfare.
4) Supports raising the minimum wage.
5) Yes, Trump wants to end Obamacare... However, he wants to replace it with the same kind of single payer health care that Bill Clinton attempted to roll out when he was president.

And the hits just keep on coming. There will be more. Expect him to stop talking about his wall very soon. That was just something he threw out there to get Republicans to vote for him. You just wait and see. Donald Trump may not be Conservative, but he is a marketer extraordinaire. Just call him the Pride of Madison Avenue.

Well, Republicans, there is the "Conservative" candidate you just nominated. You made the bed. Now it's time for you to lie in it.

And finally, Trump couldn't have gotten to where he is today without a whole party of gullible people to nominate him, and now he is coming out as Liberal on many issues. That's not his fault. That's YOUR fault for believing anything he said while running for the nomination. It's on YOU. Live with it.

Trump is not a conservative and I don't know many who claimed he was. He is a big government guy and if the term RINO ever applied to anyone, it is Trump.
 

I am actually for a number of those points. My support for Trump in this election is based on two things.

1. He will put a pro-Second Amendment Justice on SCOTUS. My right of self-defense is the pillar of liberty in a free society.

Donald Trump on Gun Control

2. He is NOT the monster he has been painted by his enemies in the powers behind both the Democratic and Republican parties. The mere fact that they fear him so much they feel the need to devote so much time, effort, and money in character assassination makes him MY choice this time around.

Many voted for him, so while not many claimed he was Conservative in word, they did in deed.....Indeed. See what I did there? LOL.
 

Bernie Sanders voted against gun control too. And no. Trump is not a monster. Just a master con artist. LOL.

Is Bernie the Democratic nominee?

Is Bernie running as a third party candidate anyway?

Am I at all a complete Socialist as opposed to merely a left-leaning Libertarian?

Thank you for admitting Trump is not a monster, although that is the appeal to emotion argument most anti-Trump rhetoric exemplifies.
 
does this make him a 'flip flopper'?

The flopping on positions has just begun. Wait till he realizes he needs the Hispanic vote.
And that Taco eating photo ain't gonna do it.
 

You forgot the flopping around like a fish gasping for air on cannabis reform. I have lost track of how many times he has changed his opinion on this matter.

And Hilary is not? I mean seriously if we want honesty it's a lose, lose situation.
 

That is an amazing map. Trump or any other republican, could win 31 states and lose the election. Its hard to bet against Clinton this year.

Which is why it is time to show support for the Libertarian Party.

Unsure we should consider that electoral map as plausible. Colorado, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia, and Indiana?

Indiana will no doubt go for Trump. If Trump picks Kasich as his running mate, he picks off Ohio. The others, however, are very problematic for him.

Clinton has many paths to the WH. Trump, starting off from way behind and then add in his baggage, subtract a good number of those voters. While many are not in swing States, Hispanics are a large number in Florida for 1 State, and hard to see them going for Dumpster.

Some have voted staunch Republican in past Pres Elections? How many EC votes?

The map may or may not bee 100 % accurate. Still lays out clearly the paths that each have and the hurdles mentioned in the article that Trump has.
