Alright, alright. People are going to call me a “RINO” no matter where I line up on this one, so please, hold your hate mail until you read the points below. Is that fair? Let’s go.
– Donald Trump gave over $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Despite the fact that he openly criticizes the foundation and the Clinton’s lack of transparency regarding it. Now we don’t have the exact numbers, we only know that his contributions number over $100,000 and under $250,000. Also this may be a good time to note that he personally supported Hillary Clinton’s senate campaign. Just had to give you a heads up, you know, because I’m a “RINOz” and all.
– Over the years, he has consistently supported Democrats over Republicans. Since 1990, Trump has given $541,650 to Democrats—more than he gave to Republicans over the same period of time. Kind of odd for someone who claims to be such a gung ho Republican these days, wouldn’t you say?
– In 2008, Donald Trump supported Obama’s campaign. This one is pretty self-explanatory, but here’s a quote from 2011 for good measure. “I was his biggest cheerleader,” “If you go back three years, I’m saying, ‘Do a great job.’ … ” “I thought he was a positive person, always,”
– Trump has switched parties at least five times since the 1980s. Three times since 2001. Trump is a new kind of politician. He’s what the progressives call “party-fluid.”
– His disgusting abuse of government power/eminent domain. Michelle Malkin has covered this extensively. Here’s the thing, with Trump this isn’t a one-time thing. It’s seemingly an integral part of his business model. In 1997, he even went as far as to use eminent domain to try and evict an elderly widow—so that he could build a limousine parking lot. I hate to play identity politics here but… what a dick.
– Donald Trump, in 2000 supported gun control, abortion, higher taxes and socialized healthcare. Do I… Do I really need to add anything here?
– Donald Trump Stood against Pro-1st amendment Conservatives when facing radical Islam. Yep, Trump even went as far as to slam Pamela Gellar for her cartoon contest in Texas. Now, regardless of whether you think Pam Gellar’s event is tasteless, the woman faced violence from radical Islam. I don’t know a single, self-respecting Conservative who deemed it appropriate to slam her, standing arm-in-arm with angry Islamists. Not one. Unless you count Trump?
– He wants Oprah Winfrey on his ticket. Yes, the same Oprah who supported Obama, called all of his critics out as racist and yes, the same Oprah who said that all racists were white, and that they “all need to die.” Welcome your new VP.
– Most importantly… his hair. Sorry, this is still LouderWithCrowder.com We had to bring this down a childish notch. On a serious note, can a man who won’t even reveal his true hairline truly be trusted as president? Hard questions. We ask them. By the way, please do click on all those hyperlinks for yourself. Don’t take my word for it. Do your own research. You’ll find that everything there is in order. Now, with all of the evidence at hand, we’re left with two possible conclusions. Either… A) Donald Trump suffers from a severe split-personality disorder. Or… B) Donald Trump is a fraud. A man devoid of principles who bases all of his decisions on the winds of political expediency.
At best, he’s a bold, entertaining voice of opposition. At worst, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Don’t be fooled. Do your research.

Possible Perot theory. Split the vote. Trump has always been a Dem. He is a crook who scams all the construction persons on his buildings. Him and unions split the profits.
We don’t need him and I personally would like him to disappear.
Trump gave 25K more to the corrupt Clinton Foundation than Stephanopoulos.
Geez.
Re your tagline.
Hillary.
A big brass pair, else with her record, she couldn’t possibly bring herself to run!
He’s the only candidate that seems to understand the country’s economic problems and the role of international trade in it.
For that reason alone, I welcome Trump into the race.
Oprah who said that all racists were white, and that they “all need to die.” ///
yet white women made her rich. and still do.
why?
Trump has lost his mind. I thought he might be an interesting addition. I was wrong. I cant believe what i’ve read about his statements. He is going to do something spiteful I fear.
Let him run, but you you really think he thinks he has a chance? He is just wasting his money—sure he has a lot, but he did not get there wasting it.
Like lose the primary and run as an independent? I’d be a case of good beer on it.
We need Trump in these debates. He absolutely has a voice that needs to be heard. No one else is talking about the things he is talking about. Bringing back jobs, renegotiating trade deals, shutting down the Messy-co border, confronting American companies that do unscrupulous things to avoid American labor/American taxes.
By the way, Perot was absolutely correct back then and we are now paying for allowing republicans to ram NAFTA and GATT down our throats.
I for one was pretty damn proud to have cast my vote for Perot. The MSM media tried to label him a nut. Fact is, Perot is a very patriotic man who employed thousands. He spoke the truth, but the truth had been so damn perverted, no one recognized the truth at all.
Same goes with Trump. He doesn't have a snow balls chance of becoming president, no matter how much his ego tells him he should or how much money he spends.
It's the pro-American message that will win a large part of the nationalist base. We need him to speak. He could quite possibly win over thousands of union folks that believe in American labor/American jobs.
that’s the thought that scares me.
He is a narcissist like our president and that is always dangerous.
What a disaster his entrance is. please let him poll in the single digits.
oprah?!?!?!!
No they're not....they're Marxist control freaks. Nothing "democratic" about the RATs.
Well, he’s certainly not the perfect candidate, but neither are any of the others.
He’s addressing the most important economic issue the country faces while the rest just don’t get it.
I don’t know if he has a chance or not. But I think this election will be more fun with him in it.
I actually think he might have a chance. Some of his recent comments such as the Oprah and Michelle comments might be stomach turning to us freepers, but it might play well with voters that Romney wrote off and didn’t even try to reach.
He’s referring to NY, which is a blue state.
He also supported Single Payer...
Yes, he understands our needs
I support Cruz.
I don’t know.
Trump is the only candidate currently speaking up for individual Americans and their jobs, here in the states.
The only one. I think he will be quite competitive.
Ok, but then how do you rectify his support of Obama and the fact he has donated to Democrats OUTSIDE of New York?
Perot was absolutely correct back then and we are now paying for allowing republicans to ram NAFTA and GATT down our throats. I for one was pretty damn proud to have cast my vote for Perot. The MSM media tried to label him a nut. Fact is, Perot is a very patriotic man who employed thousands. He spoke the truth, but the truth had been so damn perverted, no one recognized the truth at all.
That's what I been tryin ta tell ya all along.
We need him to speak.
Now are you gonna let me talk?
