[T]here is NOTHING remotely conservative about Donald Trump and his candidacy.
You have to give them a path, a path to citizenship. Where have I heard that one before? I know, Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham and of course every Democrat as well. He’s zero for one there.
How about taxes? When Trump ran for president in 1999, he proposed a gigantic wealth tax on the American people, a 14.25% levy that he calculated would raise $5.7 trillion and wipe out the debt forever in one fell swoop—a wealth tax, going into your bank account and pulling out money from bank accounts. Obama is into his second term, and he hasn’t even suggested that.
Since the 80s, he struggled so much with his identity, he has switched parties five times. Remember, a few months ago when people wanted George Stephanopoulos fired because he gave to the Clinton Foundation, remember that? Well, Donald Trump has given even more to the Clinton Foundation than Stephanopoulos did. He’s given over $100,000 to the Clintons.
Since 1990, he’s given at least $541,650 to Democrats, far more than he gave to Republicans. The guy gave money to Rahm Emanuel and Harry Reid, Harry freaking Reid.
Trump said, “I’m totally pro-choice. I hate it and I hate saying it. And I’m almost ashamed to say that I’m pro-choice but I am pro-choice because I think we have no choice.†What? And “I believe it is a personal decision that should be left to the women and their doctors.â€
Donald Trump: I think Bush is probably the worst president in the history of the United States.
He indicated his ideal vice president would be diehard Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey, and he was a registered Democrat until 2009
How about eminent domain? Years ago, Trump was looking to add a few more parking spots to one of his casinos in Atlantic City. To do so, he needed to acquire the property of Vera Coking, a senior citizen who had lived there for over three decades. So, did he make her an offer she couldn’t refuse? No, he decided to use eminent domain. Yes, this conservative argued that the government needed to take a wrecking ball to this sweet old woman’s home, her private property, because it was an eyesore.
That’s not all on eminent domain, of course, because the big one is when the government destroyed people’s homes in Connecticut so an office building could be built in the Kelo decision which might be the worst Supreme Court ruling of my lifetime. Trump said he backed the government 100%. Eminent domain is more than something he supports. It’s his business plan. In fact, a nice chunk of Trump’s wealth has come from using the force of government to take property from private individuals to line his pockets. Beyond the sheer lack of basic humanity, it definitely takes a liberal progressive to do something like that.
“Beck must have fallen off the water wagon.”
Beck lost his TV gig and SOLD OUT.
Beck has been bought by the open border/cheap labor trade agreement lobbyists with Americans for prosperity and Freedom works! FOLLOW THE $$$.. Dick Armey said FreedomWorks paid Beck $1 million to say nice things about the group to raise more cash

Beck was down on the border handing out goodies to invading Central Americans last summer, and Ted Cruz was with him! http://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2014/07/19/ted-cruz-joins-glenn-beck-for-soccer-balls-and-teddy-bears-event/
” The guy gave money to ..... Harry Reid, Harry freaking Reid. “
The NRA endorsed Harry Reid.
NONE of the $ Trump spent was YOUR tax $$$..unlike ALL the other candidates.
I know Trump’s record.
Trump wasn’t an elected Senator and did not propose these amendments to legislation on the floor of the U. S. Senate.
1. give all illegal aliens green cards
2. raise the H-1B visas to 500% of what they already were (are)
3. double the legal immigration quota.
Ted Cruz was.
Sorry to break this to you. AGAIN!
They loathe Cruz. And the claim that he “has joined the GOPe, RNC, DNC, Media talking heads, Media pundits, print Media, and the blog spots to try to destroy Trump” is bizarre, insane, and wishful thinking on your part.
G. Beck has been dashing conservatives or semi-conservatives. He acted like the Welcome Lady for illegal aliens. He is disgusting.
Poison pills, as I explained earlier. Apparently, thta went right over your head. Cruz has been the strongest fighter AGAINST amnesty adn illegal immigration in the Senate.
Sorry to break this to you. AGAIN!
Then what are you doing Twinkle Toes, if not engaging in just that?
If you need more help, just let me know.

Cruz gave away the farm by proposing those things.
LOL, you’re helpless.
Rubio and Politico were lying about Trump and immigration a few weeks ago, and NO, not one talking head on Radio defended Trump. NOT ONE OF THEM.
Headline: Rubio knocks Trump for switching stances on immigration

THAT Politico ARTICLE IS A LIE! We knew Marco Rubio had sold out to the illegal alien lobby LONG ago, but we didn’t know he was a flat out liar.
Politico is the mouthpiece of the organized crime wing of the GOP, who is happy to publicize the lies of Marco Rubio without the thought of correcting the record.
Here are the facts of #Trumps prior position IN WRITING: Trump from “The America We Deserve”, 2000 He has always been pro enforcement/anti INVASION!
IMMIGRATION- PROTECTING OUR OWN There’s another area of foreign affairs that doesn’t get talked about very much, but it is a huge issue: Immigration. America is experiencing serious social and economic difficulty with illegal immigrants who are flooding across our borders. Five million illegals live in this country.
Two million of them live in California. Seven hundred thousand undocumented immigrants live in Texas. We simply can’t absorb them. It is a scandal when America cannot control its own borders.
A liberal policy of immigration may seem to reflect confidence and generosity. But our current laxness toward illegal immigration shows a recklessness and disregard for those who live here legally.

Trump from “Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again,” 2011
Illegal immigration is a wrecking ball aimed at U.S. taxpayers. Washington needs to get tough and fight for “We the People,” not for the special interests who want cheap labor and a minority voting bloc. Every year taxpayers are getting stuck with a $113 billion bill to pay for the costs of illegal immigration.2 That’s a bill we can’t afford and wouldn’t have to pay if people in Washington did their jobs and upheld our nation’s laws.

“Glen Beck has become like Politico.”
Yep!

The bill he opposed (throughout the process) would have done all that and created a path to citizenship.
Cruz was never in favor of any form of amnesty. Period.
He didn’t propose them — they were already in the bill.
If they’re sincere. Is Trump?
LOL, no sale.
He wouldn’t have had to submit those amendments if they were already in, or were going to be.
They turned down his amendments.
If you will look for obscure articles, you will find that all the way along Cruz did favor allowing people to stay.
It is true he did not every support a pathway to citizenship, but he did support then staying and working with a green card. I’ve seen the articles. They are out there.
Further, around July he had an interview where he said he had changed his policy. Wouldn’t have to change from them staying, if he hadn’t held that view prior.
Then in the same interview not just a few minutes later, he was asked if there was any way illegals could stay. He said, “We’ll find a way.”
I don’t remember the exact terminology, so if it’s a bit different than this, I wasn’t trying got misquote him.
In broad terms, this is true.
You have now posted that to me three times.
I would appreciate it if you would stop doing it.
Thank you.
Watch the video clips. He says he submitted five amendments. He rattles off what they were.
Rad this. This was Seantor Cruz’s position.
No, he says he submitted AN amendment.
You clearly didn’t get it the first two times.
