Ask not if Oprah would run as a Republican, but what are the values and judgment of a "Republican" candidate who would seriously both praise Oprah so highly and pose her as desirable GOP VP? (Reread my prior response if you can't see what's wrong with Oprah!)

Ask not what percentage of his total worth did Trump donate to the Democrats, but what percentage of his political contributions went to Democrats as opposed to Republicans? It is this comparison that would reveal the direction of his past political commitment - whatever the level of this commitment may have been.

From the dailycaller.com - June 2015 (LINK):

"Between 1989 and 2010, The Donald gave $314,300 to Democratic groups and candidates and $290,600 to Republicans, according to a Daily Caller analysis of records maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics."

That's a 52 to 48 ratio in favor of the Democrats. And no... more recent contributions would not be a better measure of the direction of Trumps political commitment because those may reflect only Trump's recent differences with Obama - and Trump repositioning to do a Michael Bloomberg by running for office as a Republican.

To all FReepers: Agree and defend Trump's recent stands & statements on Immigration, Trade and the Middle East (as I have and will) but don't trust him for a New York minute with or a heartbeat away from the presidency!
