That interview if widely seen, will sway fence sitting voters into his camp.

I’m struck by the remarkable consistency of his ideas from 1988 to now.

I saw this online soon after Trump announced. It was one of the big factors in moving me to his camp. He's remarkably consistent now with his positions back then. I was also struck by his sincerity and love for this country.

i saw that and then bought my ticket for the Trump train.

You know, there is a lot of information out there if the media were sincere about reporting on substance rather than nonsense. Another video in which Trump is testifying before congress.

Yeah, except for the inconsistencies on guns, drug legalization, healthcare, party affiliation, donations, and immigration. He’s been tremendously consistent with being inconsistent.

Trump: George W. Bush has done a hell of a job, Jesse Jackson has done himself proud, and Michael Dukakis has done a hell of a job.

Yup no change there. Trump has always loved establishment candidates from both parties who know how to play the system.

What, you thought we wouldn’t watch the whole clip?

I’m no Trump fan but your criticism on that point in unwarranted.

It’s called being diplomatic considering he may have had to work with any one of them. People can’t have it both ways. He’s too brash, he’s to divisive, he’s too diplomatic.

One theme I did find interesting is he hasn’t changed his stance on foreign trade and America first one bit in 30 years.

My criticism is to the point. Trump has been a player on both sides of the isle, and will govern that way if elected. His praise for Dukakis was followed a few years later with praise for the Clintons and Trump’s infamous quote “The economy does better under Democrats”.

Trump praising Democrats is no better than McCain saying Obama was an honorable man who loves the country.

We don’t need another “diplomat” pretending to be conservative and reaching across the isle. No thanks.

“Trump praising Democrats is no better than McCain saying Obama was an honorable man who loves the country.”

2013 “In an interview with TIME Magazine, Cruz said he “modeled” his successful 2012 Senate campaign on Obama’s 2008 run (along with Sen. Marco Rubio’s in 2010). Cruz said he believed so much in the Obama playbook that he gave some of his staffer’s David Plouffe’s book, The Audacity to Win for Christmas.”

“I think Barack Obama is an extraordinary politician. And I respect Barack Obama a great deal. I think he is committed to his principles, which is rare in politics.”

(He did go on to say he didn’t agree with his policies)
