In spite of your condescension, I will tell you why I believe that Donald Trump is not conservative, from an old post:
What about these friends:
1. The Democrats who were in the party when he was a Democrat?
2. The abortionists when he was in favor of abortion?
3. The Libertarians when he was in favor of legalizing drugs?
4. The occupy movement when he was in favor of taxing the wealthy?
5. Those who wanted to impose background checks and ban assault weapons?
6. Liberals who, like him, believed in universal health care?
7. Hillary Clinton when he supported her and funded her?
I like Donald Trump for (most of) his enemies but I'm a little bit nervous about being his friend.
Who said anything about wanting Trump. He owns space in their heads. They are unhappy with government. ALL GOVERNMENT gHe is saying things they have been thinking. Whether they would secretly vote for him they would never admit
Show or quote the aarticles or its just rainbow rhetoric!
How many buildings Schwarzenegger built?
How many Golf resorts has he built around the world?
How many foreign trades has Schwarzenegger done?
How many products have the Schwarzenegger name?
There is no comparison.
One had no experience except as an actor, before running for governor. The other has tons and tons of real life main street economy.
Your comparison is just as bad as comparing Obama with Cruz. Both first term senators running for president. But the comparison ends right there. The differences between them are enormous.
Oh and you might want to read his books. Better get where he stands from his mouth not the Media with an agenda
Italics are good for that kind of ear/voice emphasis, as well, but in the context of FR general protocol, italics typically signify words quoted from another post. So in order to avoid confusion or the trouble of having to go through six key strokes required in HTML to create italics as opposed to zero key strokes to go all-caps, one "vocally" emphasizes a word by putting it in all caps.
You despise capitalization for emphasis. I despise people who get so hung up in silly minor crap like that that they change the entire discussion from something important, to something all about an ego (yours) and your choice to be offended by something.
Trump is a huge middle finger raised at both the Democrat and Republican parties.
It didn’t have to be this way, but the GOPe asked for it when they called us crazies and characterized us as haters for not wanting to turn the USA into North Mexico.
So how do you explain Trump so far ahead of other solid conservatives like Jindal and Cruz?
Is it possible, people are yearning for a leader like Trump, who is not a politician, but is a real world main street businessman?
You go to war with the army you have. Not the army you wish you had.
And just which one of the Professional Politician candidates will do a damn thing about the debt?
Not a f***ing one of them, that’s who.
There are only two running that might, maybe, possibly, could be do anything about the debt. Fiorina and Trump. THAT is it.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
... it is shaping up more and more to be GUARANTEED to go sideways in 2016. California, as always, was ahead of the game as to the way the nation will go: vote for well-intentioned Arnold because conservatives want to believe that he's not a lefty at heart, only this time the showman is Donald Trump and the race is for the White House rather than Sacramento.
Just as a point of amusement. Donald Trump has a star on the Hollywood Walk of fame. “Just for playing himself”
One of the PAC formed to support him is a conglomerate of technical people who hope to produce historical videos of his life.
Trump wants to stick it to the Free Traitors and China, what kind of liberal wants that? ( Bernie Sanders not with standing )
Just because the indignation is real and honestly come by, does not mean the confidence placed in Donald Trump is well-founded. His biography tells us that he is anything but a conservative. Study the man's history, study the man's biography, discount rhetoric.Blah, blah, blah....Blah, blah, blah.
You like history?
Your own past and present rhetoric isn't as effective as you'd like to pretend.
In the history of Freerepublic not one conservative has ever been elected President.
Ted Cruz will not be the nominee.
Sorry to burst your bubble but RWR MORPHED into a great conservative, while starting out as a registered democrat and a union activist.
I see nothing wrong in gaining wisdom as one matures.
I was also a democrat until age 29. But have become more conservative republican by each passing decade.
Me, who is to the right of Tamarlane on fiscal issues, is for access to healthcare for all MY FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZENS.
But universal healthcare has many avatars.
If you take a look at my profile page, you might understand my thinking.
Kindly do not insist that I provide you any more citations if you want to dispute what I say you find your own damn citations but I have given you one with ample evidence. Deal with that or get your own citations.
The reason Donald Trump flip-flops so much is because he has no coherent political philosophy. He has no coherent political philosophy because he is a God player, more conventionally known as a narcissist. For Donald Trump whatever is expedient or whatever might come to his mind is the flavor of the week.
Unfortunately he is the only one expressing my view on subjects that have been ignored for decades, since Perot. He is speaking for me on some key issues, albeit a poor mouth piece for sure.
TRUMP their A$$!
