Well, there goes Trumps chances in a Republican primary.
This is what alot of politicians do, I mean look at Mitt Romney, his stances of today are in steep contrast to his stances of a few years ago, and all because he wants to run for national office. This is a major problem of the 2 party system, people can't run on their own beliefs, they have to run on their parties beliefs.
I hope you're wrong. If Republican voters give Trump the nomination, I'll be very disappointed in my party. What worries me is that people will vote for celebrity over substance. I'm not naive enough to think Repulican voters are above this.I don't know so much about that. In the primary the vote will be split multiple ways, except in the cacauses of course he is unlikely to win cacauses. But in the other primaries, if the far right vote gets spit between multiple candidates and if Trump appears to be the only moderate, then he may pick up close to 100% of the moderate vote plus a good chunk of the independant vote. He may actually win quite a few primaries.
I feel your pain. LOL.I'm not making any predictions though, my predictions rarely are right, I'm such a looser. If I do make any predictions, and if you choose to place a bet, you would be wise to bet against my predictions.
Folks, this trump thing just shows you how bad we as a country are when it comes to politics. Republicans closing thier eyes to the trump of the past, and democrats doing the same, coming down along party lines. Lets look at trump shall we?
NewsRoomAmerica.com - Trump 2008: Bush 'Evil;' Praises Obama
"Bush has been so bad, maybe the worst president in the history of this country. He has been so incompetent, so bad, so evil that I don't think any Republican could have won,"
"Regarding Obama, Trump said, "I think [he's] going to lead through consensus. It's not going to be just a bull run like Bush did. He just did whatever the hell he wanted. He'd go into a country, attack Iraq, which had nothing to do with the World Trade Center and just do it because he wanted to do it."
RealClearPolitics - Video - Donald Trump: "Obama Has Been The Worst President Ever"
""He's been a horrible president. I always said the worst president was Jimmy Carter, guess what? Jimmy Carter goes to second place. Barack Obama has been the worst president ever. [In] the history of this country, Barack Obama is number one," Donald Trump told Sean Hannity on FOX News."
Wait what? What happened to Bush, how did Carter leap frog him? :lamo
Donald Trump: We Need A Health Care System Like What Canada Has
“We must have universal healthcare,” wrote Trump. “I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses.”
Donald Trump on Abortion
Trump clarified his views on abortion, saying he favors abortion rights, but respects those who oppose his position. “I believe it is a personal decision that should be left to the women and their doctors,” he said.
Donald Trump on the Issues
One-time 14.25% tax on wealth, to erase national debt.
So lets review, Trump is an anti-war, pro universal health care, pro-abortion, pro-tax the wealthy, Supports an Assault weapons ban, potential candidate... And we have the left trashing him and the right praising.
Allah, Buddha, Jesus, WTF is going on here? :doh
"Donald Trump is a Liberal-Leaning Populist."

It's like Ross Perot all over again. Logic has very little to do with it. :coffeepap
Couldn't agree more. He just says whatever he needs to say to make headlines and plug his reality show. It's advertising, not campaigning.

Thank you, Rev!
We may not agree often, but on The Donald being a big time media w**re, I think we both agree. Clearly, he's a political flip-flopper who will change his ideology depending on what hyperbole will garner him the most attention.
How anyone could even conceive of voting for this clown is beyond me. The far right, ultra-conservative, wing-nut fringe (Tea-Partiers) can have him!
While I still think trump is a massive joke. this is not a flip flop. It's a change in opinion based on the reality of the situation. He got suckered in by hope and change like the rest of the nimrods who voted for Obama. Now that he sees what Obama is really like....

Actually, his views are very logical. He stated that Bush was a terrible president. Now I have some sympathy for Bush, and I don't think that he was THAT bad, but he was certainly bad. There is nothing wrong or illogical with Trump expressing his personal feelings and being honest with them (as opposed to lieing to us like most candidates do).
The he expressed that he expected Obama to be a better president. After Obama didn't turn out to be a better president (a sentiment that I happen to agree with), he stated that Obama has been a "horrible" president. Yes, lots of us had hoped the Obama would be a great president, even some Republicans (it's not particularly patriotic to predict that a president will screw things up even worse). I am glad that Trump is humble enough and man enough to admit that he was wrong in his expectations.
Believing that personal decisions (abortion) are best left of to the individuals and doctors is something that many on both the left and the right believe. Remember, conservatives want government out of our lives and less laws and regulations and restrictions.
The need for universal healthcare is something that a large percent of our population believe in, it's not all that whacked out of an idea. Personally, I am against universal healthcare for a wide variety of reasons, but I can certainly understand why some people think that it is a good thing. I only which he would lend me his ear and I could give him a plan that is much better than universal healthcare, and much more cost effective, but will ensure that the vast majority of the time, finances would not be a barrier to obtaining health care.
As far as his suggestion that we should have a temporary tax to eleminate the debt, lots of conservatives have suggested that, and I actually prefer Trumps suggestion over theirs. Glenn Beck and OReily have both suggested a temporary tax to eleminate the debt.
You stopped the quotes too soon. He said that Bush was the worst president ever in 2008, then claims a couple years later that he "always" thought Carter was the worst president ever. So what happened? Where did Bush go?
Yeah, now that he can do that without y'all riding his ass for it. :mrgreen:Back to Crawford.
