The funny thing is that so many people think that someone who's spent most of his life looking out for No. 1 at the expense of friends and relatives has now suddenly had an epiphany and will now look out for the interests of tens of millions of complete strangers in the conservative moment. This is expected from a man of infinite political flexibility. I think a lot of people here underestimate the negative consequences of voting for someone who's lying to you to get what he wants. Trump may be a born-again conservative. Or he may be a liberal posing as a conservative to win an election. Like Obamacare, you have to vote for him to find out what he's really planning.
Why would Trump go through this kind of trouble? For the same reason Bloomberg spent hundreds of millions to become NYC mayor. Because it's the presidency - it's a chance to enter the history books. Nobody's ever heard of the 50th richest real estate investor in King Sargon's Assyria. Anyone who's ever covered ancient Near Eastern history has heard of Sargon.
Why would you post this kind of thing?
Where are the stories of friends and family he has shortchanged?
He has great kids campaigning for him. All of his wives current and past speak well of him. His business associate and those that work for him say he’s a hard negotiator but sticks to his word and is scrupulously honest. He took a skating rink project in NYC over because it was not getting done and over budget, turned it to the city and didn’t take a cent for it.
Don Trump has been remarkably consistent for a man who has so much of a trail on the internet. We have his statements from 1990- present to look at and they are internally consistent. No other candidate can say the same.
At this site there is access to the words of all the candidates on a wide range of issues. The link will take you to one for starters.
