Nov 26, 2016: Donald Trump: Mean-Spirited GOP Won't Win Elections
"...Romney's solution of "self deportation" for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says.
"He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal," Trump says. "It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote," Trump notes. "He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country."
The GOP has to develop a comprehensive policy "to take care of this incredible problem that we have with respect to immigration, with respect to people wanting to be wonderful productive citizens of this country," Trump says.".........
...."Well, you'd be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as a Democrat," said [Donald] Trump at the time. "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans," he added. In 2007, he said that Hillary would be a good person to negotiate with the Iranians since she's "always surrounded herself with very good people. He also said Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney would be good negotiators as well.
As for the Second Amendment, abortion, and health care, Mr. Trump was decidedly on the progressive side of things. Favoring a pro-choice position, a ban on assault weapons, and supportive universal health care.".....
I guess Trump is planning on working the lady part angle.
Barf. He was a good anti liberal to run against Fauxahantus, but picking hims would be a disaster in the making. Trump would run better with a dead albatros around his neck than with Scott Brown as a VP pick. That was his way of thanking his host or a Machiavellian misdirection to shore up NH, which I doubt since Brown is a carpet bagger.
IMO: Best choices for Trump at this point in in time is Kasich (OH), Christie(NJ), Walker(WI).
If he felt he was going to have trouble with Florida or the south in general, then the candidates to pick are Rubio or Huckabee.
Some would like him to pick Cruz, but that is a waste of a pick as if Trump gets the nomination, Texas is safely red.
Trump needs a rust belt running mate to break the Democratic legerdemain there. We pretty will much know the democrats have a +% advantage just in voter fraud there. Trump need a big margin.
He is hardly “favoring” Scott Brown.
What happened is that a woman shouted out “vice president” from the audience, and Trump, as he usually does, pointed at her and smiled and acknowledged her contribution.
Then he said some nice words about Brown, who was standing right next to him or a few feet away.
It seems I have spend a lot of time today correcting misleading headlines and erroneous stories. Can we send all the “writers” and “reporters” back to J school please? Or maybe back to catechism class.
I could not find the so called “money quote”. Brown as veep was not trumps idea.... Pretty sad to sell out ones credibility making claims that are bogus.
LOL, the Cruzers are getting desperate. Brown invites Trump to a small rally, Brown is on stage with Trump, an audience member shouts “Brown for VP” and Trump smiles and says that it may be a good idea, and the Cruz/GOPe go crazy. Trump, #1 in all polls in all states, is living rent free in their minds. Beautiful!
Of course he would.
He calls everyone great to not insult them.
I see Hillary nominating the faux Indian if it happens.
Just those New York values nothing to see.
Here’s another disingenuous anti-Trump story to add to the list.
It’s ok though. After Trump becomes President & destroys all the progressive infrastructure folks with TDS can begin to heal.
Go Trump!
Tag line.
Once he wins the nomination, Trump will be going hard to the middle. It will be interesting to see the reaction of his supporters on FR.
Fail.
