Trump: I Identify With Some Things As A Democrat

That's from a Trump interview last Friday. Why any conservative would want that in the White House is utterly beyond me.

Dirty little secrets:

McCain is a true backstabbing slimeball—the more you know, the less you like him.

Cruz is the ONLY other candidate that could be called a ‘true conservative’. I’ll take him as VP.

That's from a Trump interview last Friday. Why any conservative would want that in the White House is utterly beyond me.

If you look at his political donations for Democrats, his statement is less surprising - although I agree that it is surprising that anyone would consider him conservative.

In addition to his donation to Hillary, Donald also contributed to Chuckie Schumer, Kristen Gillibrand, gave to Kerry when he ran against Bush, gave money to Harry Reid to keep him as Majority leader, gave $116k to the Democratic Senatorial Committee...

Now there will be many who will say he was just a pragmatic businessman greasing palms on both sides of the aisle, and you may be right. But that certainly calls into question his credentials as a conservative.

Donald was looking out for Donald, not trying to support people who would work for conservative principles. So why would we believe that would change once he was in the White House? Just because he is now saying the things that you want to hear? Where is there any evidence he actually believes in those things, let alone that he will actually act on those things if elected?

I don't think people who are supporting Trump are dumb, just frustrated with all of the politics as usual crowd. But the last time the country elected someone who said the "right things" without any record to back it up, we wound up with Obama...
