Straw Man argument.

Ronald Reagan had years as governor to prove his conservative bonafides. He had from 1975 to 1980 to continue showing his conservative bonafides.

Did Reagan do a quick evolving?

Championing Obama, wanting to impeach Bush.....

I'm glad he's making illegals and the havoc they wreak a central part of the campaign. I also enjoy him poking the GOP-e in the eye, but this guy is a loose cannon that will hurt him (and us) in the general.

Trump is the mob pick to insure that Walker doesn’t get the nomination. Trump is a casino man, therefore he is mob. There’s no such thing as a casino not run in partnership with the mob.

Pelosi, Reid and Bill Clinton are mob, too— and they all received Trump handouts. Pelosi’s dad was deep in the mob grass when he ran Baltimore. Reid was bought and paid for by “Republican” Abramoff and the Indian casinos. Of course Abramoff was also Hillary’s bud. And Reid was also bought by ACORN...which as we know is run by SEIU.

And the mob doesn’t want Walker to get the nomination under any circumstances because he’s the only public official out there that’s been able to hand Trumka and his AFL CIO buddies their asses.

The mob is prudently hedging its bets by fielding candidates in both parties... Hillary and Trump.

6 years? For Carson they were going back 23 years. The thing that surprises me the most about our side is the tendency to blindly attack. The truth is that Trump is leading the pack, he’s smiting butt left and right, and he is energizing voters. He’s brought energy that the Republican Party has not managed to excite in three decades.

On the wedding day, everyone compliments the bride’s beauty and her lovely white gown. She may be a skank-slut in real life, but not on that day; same with the honeymoon — all is well, compliments and well-wishes all around.
I think Trump was being polite, maybe even overly-polite.
That was mighty white of him.

Millions thought the same thing about Obama - most now have buyer’s remorse. That’s what I see here.

No problem.

Remember, to Trump supporters, all other GOP candidates put their fingers in the political wind to see where the political wind is blowing - but Trump evolves!

Trump endorsed and raised money for McCain.

M Kehoe voted and donated to Sarah Palin.

Capt. Queeg should go into retirement.

I won't vote for Jorge Arbusto's hermano.

Thread hijack attempt...

Trump has said Obama is the worst American President for at least four years:

Straw Man argument.

Well, no. You insist on pandering to the GOPe, so I'm merely pointing out for your benefit and education that, in fact, Reagan was at one point a democrat. He turned out GREAT for America.

Ronald Reagan had years as governor to prove his conservative bonafides. He had from 1975 to 1980 to continue showing his conservative bonafides.

What a sorry sack you would have been, poo pooing Reagan just a couple years after he changed his mind.

Did Reagan do a quick evolving?

Apparently so. He went from democrat to republican with the stroke of a pen on his voter registration. I'd say that was pretty damned quick.

Now, why don't you go lick some GOPe RINO jackboots.

You're wrong. Trump eviscerated Obama as early as the spring of 2011

Yet, I notice you are not concerned with all of JEB and HW’s meetings with Obama in the White House over the years...

LOL.

wow. He gave the president the benefit of the doubt 7 years ago. A lot of people did.

Shows a great lack of discernment 7 years ago,then doesn't it. Seeings how obama telegraphed EVERYTHING he was going to do once in office years before running for president that is. If he wins the election, I sure hope he's gotten better at it. I also hope that all the liberal ideas and thoughts he's espoused through out the years (up and into the first GOP debate) have "evolved" and or become more "nuanced" in the conservative direction. The guy is a populist and even if some of the things he says fall in line with conservative values, he's yet to show that he's not just saying what needs to be said to get people behind him.

Past performance dictates future expectations.

I am interested in the date of this. A lot of people were hoodwinked in spring, early summer of 2009 and bought into the hype. If it was in November or December, by then it was clear what we were dealing with. Of course most of us knew in 2007, but a lot of people are very gullible...even smart, successful ones.

Been a LONG time since Trump had a kind word for him.

Maybe if you're a hamster or a mayfly.

For adult humans, 2009 wasn't a LONG time ago.

6 years ago. Ancient history ;-)

As time goes by people will start having second thoughts about The Donald. We don't need a strongman. We need a constitutional conservative.
