Long before the Republican presidential candidate became a presidential candidate or a Republican, Donald Trump had a working relationship with Al Sharpton, including doing favors for the racial activist and giving him thousands in donations.

GeronL, they like him because he is a straight shooter.

I’ve posted the links to the party elites for both parties. Leftists don’t like him. That’s obvious. The race baiters don’t. The die hard Obama folks won’t. The head of the Democrat party and the Democrats in Washington don’t like him. The RNC, the GOPe don’t like him. Why?

The GOPe should be thrilled if you’re on target. They aren’t.

Rank and file citizens are buying in. That is not because he’s going Left. If he was going Left, the Left would love him. They don’t. Enough Democrats, Moderate Republicans, and Conservatives will back him to get him the nomination.

Why did Reagan Democrats come across the line? Was it because Reagan was a Leftist? No, it was because on some level they identified with him.

People are identifying with Trump’s straight talk, and take no prisoners delivery.

If you really believe that Trump is the first candidate to bring out conservative ideas since Ronald Reagan, then you are idiots. Sorry, but that is the most asinine thing I have heard in a long long long time.

He wants to see Trump the Leftist. We want to see Trump the Conservative.

well thats one way to look at it...

not a particulary clear way but one way.

I don’t want to see anything. “It” simply presents itself and I perceive whatever I am capable of perceiving.

O dod not jump all over trump’s game when he started grandstanding.

I watched and listened with a non emotional eye..

Donald Trump is almost a parody of himself at this point

I KNOW parody

He is not a straight shooter. He is a con man.

In one post you say Ted cannot win because the Democrats and moderates don’t like him

and then you say Trump can win because they don’t like him either.

Trump’s inconsistency is rubbing off.

That’s good, and I know it’s going to drive some Conservatives absolutely crazy. They can’t believe what they are seeing.

What they fail to miss, is that they are willing to accept anything negative, and not accept anything positive.

They’ll never get it. I say let them enjoy being the opposition. It’s just the way it is.

Good for Levin, and thanks for the mention. I appreciate it.

Levin is no Leftist nut-job.

GeronL, name one other person who hawked Conservatism and reached the numbers Trump has.

Go ahead. I’m waiting.

His good friend Bill Clinton is his real strategist. Triangulation is the game.

This Trumpoonery-Buffoonery will soon end. Will the real conservative constitutionalist Ted Cruz now stand up and take on the mantle?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, so Cruz is a smart guy. He's following Bush and Graham in sliding poll numbers. Someone had better start administering mega doses of gravitas in him to get his poll numbers up, or he is done.

lol

No, the statement was that NOBODY has ran on conservatism since Reagan.

BTW- Trump is not a conservative. People need to stop fooling themselves.

No use arguing with these anti Trump idiots. Right now it seems they are masturbating to each others sanctimonious pap. I am serious. They probably have them out.

GeronL, that’s not what I said, but then I don’t expect you to try to understand, so what’s the point of discussing this with you. You’re proud of the fact you won’t listen to Trump now, and also proud of the fact that you willingly to believe anything that is negative from before.

Bother someone else who wants to buy into your childishness.

In 1990 Trump wanted to legalise heroin, cocaine and everything else.

He is a walking disaster.

I note you don’t have an answer.

And please, remind me which Conservative got elected since Reagan.

I’m waiting.
