My pet conspiracy theory - Trump is in it to dilute the anti-Bush vote. Trump wants Hillary or Jeb to be president. They’re peas out of the same pod, so it doesn’t matter which one wins.
I like what Trump is saying, but I don’t trust him.
Fine, just keep watching and don’t be surprised when you realize he is in this for America and average Americans.
“I like what Trump is saying, but I don’t trust him.”
How would you rank the following in your “trust” scale?
Trump, Cruz, Perry, Walker, Rubio, Christie, Huckabee, Santorum, Fiorina, Clinton, O’Malley, Sanders...
Or maybe, if we’re doing conspiracy theory: I wonder if Trump let Cruz know it wouldn’t be pretty when Trump took down McCain for calling Cruz a “whacko-bird” and for calling Trump’s followers “crazies”. Perhaps a lesson from the mentor to show how it’s done?
“Trump is in it to dilute the anti-Bush vote. Trump wants Hillary or Jeb to be president.”
He has SEVERELY WEAKENED both of them, so I have some trouble with that theory. He weakened Hillary by forcing her to say that Illegal felons should not be released into American society - makes a lot of sense for us, but ABSOLUTELY KILLS HER with her base. And he has weakened Jeb in a number of ways.
If Trump intended to proper either of them up, he would be attacking conservative and/or lining up a 3rd Party run - he is not doing either - but if does get driven out of the Republican Party, he may just do that.
I hear you, it’s a reasonable thought.
In support of Trump, he has been saying stuff like this for years. Certainly since 2008 market collapse. I think his views have changed and he has figured out what is going on and that is why he is running.
I support him.
