Trump haters keep looking at his old history. It does not matter to them that he was not a politician. They do not understand how a large PRIVATELY held business must be run in a hostile political blue state. So they conclude Trump is not a rock hard social conservative. They know he will not strap bombs to his body and enter an abortion clinic. They do not understand the fiscal conservatism of a rich man who pushed for paying off the national debt, costing 14% of his own wealth. Basically these Trump haters do not care about fiscal issues.
But the clinching point for Trump haters is that their own candidate, is well known for a take no prisoners social conservative. To them that is the overriding issue. They are mostly single issue voters. It burns them up that finally they have such a candidate in the race, and Trump is polling consistently 4 times better. They are consumed with frustration.
Probably a pretty fair assessment.
“Old” history?
You mean like July of this year-—three months ago? When he told “Morning Joe” that many of his stances were those of a Democrat?
