“And if they have “likely mischaracterized” what he said, the best way to counter that is for Trump to authorize them to release the tape/transcript so his own words can speak for themselves.”

Correct. We don’t have time for games.

Be careful what we read into a candidate.
Be very careful, what we wish for.
What we end up with may be the flip side of the same coin.

Those who do not remember history are destined to repeat it.

And smearing Trump with this is the “principled conservatism” of Ted Cruz.

Only 9 hrs 50 minutes left before Super Tuesday when the Clown show of Crubios go down.

I agree, which is why I want to end the speculation and hear the tapes. It’s stupid for Trump to not do so.

I’ve always thought that “deport 11 million” is his opening bid of a negotiation with congress. Very little is happening without congress. He can do some things as president but real immigration reform needs congress. And congress (dems and repubs) are going to be negotiating very hard to minimize deportations and maximize citizenship. I feel pretty good about Trump starting with an extreme position then negotiating the best deal for all current citizens and not for immigrants and future citizens.

I also think his preference is to “deport 11 million”. If he can make it happen it will. But if not he can give some. One complaint I hear in person about him is that he won’t give on his extreme positions and he is an authoritarian with a my way or the highway approach. I can’t change people’s minds but maybe the New York Times can release the audio and get Trump a few more votes.

Lots of buildings have 13th floors. Been in many of them many times.

This is one of those things that does exist in some older buildings, but acquired some mythical status that it is widespread. It's not.

This is pure bs. Cruz is pushing it hard too. Funny how this story about a “secret tape” comes out the day before Super Tuesday but not the mythical tape.

“If Trump isn’t as pure as the driven snow, he will be buried under an Avalanche of leaks.

And we all know he isn’t pure as driven snow.”

And you better believe all of his relationships and dealings with Democrats over the last 50 years or so will be front page news.

“Liar!”

I think “unfair speculation” would be more appropriate.

The existence of the tape is undisputed.

I just want to hear it, as should you, as you undoubtedly believe Trump is consistent in public and private.

No reason to fear the tape, assuming Trump is telling you the truth.

Trump has staked his presidency on the wall.

Which can mean a lot of things. Repairing a few sections, putting up a little more, some funding to do a little here and there... Oh, and Trump has also made big claims with health care. Don't get me wrong, if it comes down to Trump or Hillary, I will gladly vote Trump. At least I know he loves America and doesn't mind saying it...and I believe he would be pro 2nd Amendment. But I worry about the immigration issue. It concerns me and mine deeply.

That is absolutely not what the book says.”

I agree. In fact one of the deals was with a handshake. That surprised me that he would accept someone’s word without a contract.

They are his buds. Without much prompting, Trump has ALREADY admitted that he is anxious to make deals with the likes of Reid, Schumer and Pelosi. People are thirsty for an outsider ready to ride herd on Washington, and they are willing to imagine that the obvious fraud Trump is that man.

It would not surprise me one bit if it’s true.

Trump views every situation as a deal. The first position of any deal is just an opening bid.

The Trumpsters that believe that he’s going to do what he’s saying are in for some serious disappointments.

Every single position that he has taken will be significantly watered down if he gets elected. Those are just opening bids.
