Thus ends the Trump Train on FR. Another traitor. Let’s hate him now.
Trump is a very calculating strategic thinker, irregardless of what his personal position appears to be at the moment. In fact, his goal and individual motivation is POWER. He thrives on it.
For Trump, the individual issues are wrapping paper to merely have him appear in a way that manipulates the public to give him what he wants. Do not believe what Trump appears to be on the surface. Just as Obama tried to appear as a Christian and more centrist, we ultimately found him to be ultra left, Trump is positioning himself. Underneath, I’m not sure that Trump has a core set of moral values that can identify who he really is.
Even his fight with Fox News was strategic. How else could he get the main stream news media to support him? Who do the main stream news media hate more than a Republican? Fox News! He was just positioning himself so they would accept him. This man is unbelievably strategic. Do I trust him? Not at all. But he is one of the most strategic thinkers I have ever observed. Do not underestimate him. He sees a much bigger picture than the other politicians and is willing to lose a few battles on purpose just to set up his opposition so he can win the war.
The thing is ? We got many here on Free Republic saying that issues like gay marriage and abortion does not matter, that immigration is more important.

You need to re-direct your hate to the appropriate places. The SCOTUS for not ruling that gay marriage is a states rights issue and the Governors of the 50 supposedly sovereign states in the US. Not a single one of them has had the stones to stand up and invoke the 10th amendment which they have every right and I would argue responsibility to do.
How much do you hate Carly Fiorina and all the rest of the GOP candidates except for Cruz and Huck?
