Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, has done a lot of things no other GOP candidate this year would dare try: pick a fight with Fox News. Bad-mouth prisoners of war. Wear Palm Beach casual-wear to the Iowa State Fair. Tell small children he is Batman.

This dates back to August. Hard to believe it wasn't posted here. But, my search didn't find it.

"We've had no leadership in the country.... For doing that, you need compromise. You need back-and-forth. And it's not about a plan. It's about flexibility. You need flexibility."

Does he mean the type of "flexibility" Obama spoke of the Putin?

Thank you for posting. Don’t remember seeing this article but fits the pattern I have long noticed.

Is Trump a McConnell-Rove Establishment Tool?

the answer is yes.

I can give you 3 reason why, that happened just this week.

1) He supports the Ethanol subsidies, thereby supporting big government.

2) Cruz called out McConnell for lying, which McConnell did.
Trump sided with McConnell, saying he had to make deals with Congress, just like the Establishment wants him to do.

3) He said “Cruz would be worse than Hillary”, proving that he thinks higher of Bengazi-email-scandal-ridden-big-government Hillary Clinton than he does Ted Cruz.

Trump is becoming a louder version of Lindsay Graham-John McCain right before our very eyes.

It only took a week.

If you read this article, published months ago shortly after Trump announced, you can clearly see that the author has an anti-trump bias and agenda. And if you are just now posting this as an authoritative opinion, you are ignoring the intervening months in which the Washington Post under its new owner, Jeff Bezos, has established its anti-Trump bias unmistakeably.

Ha!

Editor: Fahrenthold get in here. I need you to do a research piece on Trump. Scour through everything Trump has said or written since June and count the number of times Trump changed his mind. I need 5000 words by tomorrow.

“We've had no leadership in the country.... For doing that, you need compromise. You need back-and-forth. And it's not about a plan. It's about flexibility. You need flexibility.” (Aug. 14)

Was it ever about a plan? Can this guy speak in more platitudes? Make America great again.....how? We'll do it. When? When we can. With who? With those who want to help. Where? Everywhere.

Seriously, Trump lack of specificity at this point in the campaign, especially with regard to illegal immigrants (the reason I supported him at the outset), is why I’ve kinda soured on the guy.

The pic is great. Perfect for a trumpette (or whatever Sarah called Trump’s supporters) as it demonstrates the placing of fingers in one’s ears while singing “la la la, I can’t hear you”.

"If you read this article," you might want to point out any inaccuracies.

Bias? In the WaPo? Knock me over with a feather!

But, where is it untrue?

HERETIC! BLASPHEMER! It is sacrilege to ever point out that “the Don” has ever changed his position on anything! Let alone dare to point out that his positions keep changing throughout the campaign. Don’t you know that the only statement that is operative is whatever Donnie said most recently??

Really, I was attacked for pointing out a change in positions by Donald just between September and October of this year - they castigated me for citing “old speeches” of Donald’s.

With illegals, it seems like he keeps changing. I don’t know why he’s going to deport them all if he’s going to immediately let most of them back in.
