I was born and raised in New York. I remember the Lindsay years. (I didn’t think it was possible to make Lindsay look good, but Comrade DeBloodio seems to be pulling it off.)
Trump has been mostly good for New York. He’s done a lot to help the city. His efforts in Atlantic City were not as successful.
As I said before, I think Trump would make a great mayor, as Giuliani was. But like Giuliani, that doesn’t mean I want him to be president.
Trump has praised single payer, proposed an immigration plan that is way too close to touchback amnesty, abused eminent domain and supported Kelo, attacked Scalia (with an imputation of racism) while praising his liberal pro-abort sister as a “great” choice for the Supreme Court,opposed full defunding of Planned Parenthood, said that he’d replace 0bama’s executive orders with “good ones”, and taken liberal positions on numerous other issues.
He has donated BIG money to Democrats, more than to Republicans. He called Pat Buchanan a “Hitler lover”. He changed his party registration SIX times (not once, like President Reagan.)
At the very least, he’s not a reliable conservative.
We hve the possibility of nominating and electing a candidate with a constitutionalist conservative record. Why opt for an inconsistent populist with “progressive” leanings instead? Isn’t that the kind of candidate that has lost for us?
Teddy has accomplished what?
NOTHING !
And he has NO vision for this nation; he talks a sort of good game, when he isn't pretending to be some T.V. evangelist, but he is just a M2T and is far too tied to the likes of CRAZY Glenn Beck! Talk about flip flopping...thine name is CRUZ!
You never changed your party registration in NYC? I did on occasion to vote in primaries. It’s not that unusual in NYC if you’re a conservative. I understand perfectly why Trump did that. I once worked on a campaign for a republican governor and we were told to change our registration in an attempt to beat out the democrat!
I don’t think he “abused” eminent domain. In his most famous case, an old lady won out over him (although Cruz lied about that one, too!) He made an excellent case for ED at the debate. He’s knocked Planned Parenthood plenty and I’m sorry but Pat Buchanan does have dodging opinions on the Holocaust.
“We hve the possibility of nominating and electing a candidate with a constitutionalist conservative record.”
who can’t seem to get anything done!
so what’s the point of electing such a polarizing person?
