Anyone who can post any transcripts or archives of Trump co-sponsoring, sponsoring, supporting thereof, participating in a Gang of 8 or 12, or signing any leftist policies while holding elective office capacity, I will immediately discontinue my support of him.
The Republican Party has lost 12 of the last 21 presidential elections dating back to 1932.
Of the Republicans who won, George H.W. Bush won in 1988 only because he rode on the coattails of Ronaldus Magnimus' revolution. He lost in 1992.
Nixon won in 1968 and 1972 on an aggressive law-and-order campaign, but was disastrous in implementing many of the Left's projects (OSHA, EPA, wage and price controls) that are destroying America now.
Eisenhower, although a moderate, won because he was a heroic military general.
George W. Bush lost the popular vote in 2000; and barely won Ohio in 2004 to beat back John Kerry.
So that leaves Reagan's sole two landslides in 1980 and 1984 that is the benchmark of Republican Party presidential epitome. Not counting the 1966, 1994, 2010, and 2014 Republican Congressional landslides.
Why do you think the Republican Party has lost half of all presidential elections since 1932, and didn't pursue conservative goals in three-quarters of the ones they won?
They've reached out to moderates, independents, and undecided voters until they were blue in the face; and yet they did not get these voters.
Donald Trump isn't reaching out to these voters. They are FLOCKING to him en masse.
He's doing the very same thing that the head honchos at the RNC, GOPe, K-street, Fox News, and Chamber of Commerce want Republicans to do; yet he's being vilified for simply running in the race.
Trump was NEVER in an elective office position where he wielded influence over legislation. His donations to Democrats were more about helping his home state and city than about supporting the liberalism of the PACs he was donating to. Trump has never donated to Democrat candidates directly.
Now the Republican Party has a candidate, who is getting the independents, moderates, blacks, legal Hispanics, and blue-collar Democrats that Republicans say they need to get in order to win.
So what is the Republican Party doing?
They are defecating on the very candidate that will give the party it's first presidential landslide since 1988.
What does that tell you?
Do you believe that the people who are supporting Trump - many of whom get belittled by National Review, Weekly Standard, HotAir, Townhall, and other Salem Communication-owned websites, as well as even some FReepers - really going to hold their noses for a Rubio, a Christie, a Kasich, or God-forbid, a Jeb Bush?
Trump's past liberalism is a total non-issue. If he hasn't held elective office where he could have put his liberalism to work and affected millions of Americans via legislation, he wouldn't get elected to the town water board.

Hear hear! Nice observation!
Thank you.
No, I think since the hippy 60 days after Kennedy and Johnson we have won the majority. It is now we are capitulating.
He didn't campaign as a moderate but promised action on the issues of Korea, Communism and corruption. He also made peace with his conservative rival Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio).
Confusing headline but a good post.
Nah. Business people donate to everyone for protection.
It's just extortion. If you don't donate, and the guy gets in, he'll waste no time in trying to screw you through laws and regulations.
Most sensible businesses donate approximately equally to opposing parties. It's just a shakedown racket.
Don't forget 1946. The GOP also did well in 1938 and 1942, and even the "Cubanized" elections of 1962, coming as they did in the afterglow of the Cuban Missile Crisis produced some important GOP wins.
...and lets not forget who put in NAFTA= Bill Clinton...
He did. Eisenhower was the epitome of a moderate Republican. The tax rates during the Eisenhower administration was at an all-time high. He did nothing about the emerging welfare state.
But...as I've stated Eisenhower can be excused because of his military service, and to a lesser extent, he deported the illegal aliens.
How is it confusing?
Trump's donation to Democrat PACs, taking pictures with the Clintons simply don't compare to the ongoing appeasement that the Republicans have done, working hand-in-hand with Democrats for decades.
So for critics of Trump say he's liberal, what about the alternatives of other presidential candidates who will sell us down the river without paddles?
BUMP!
It would be most unfortunate if something were to happen to your business.
This is a great post, thank you. Some old quips, quotes and compliments that Trump made over the years to the people in power that held sway over his business interests and ran in his social circles, charity events etc are not equivalent to legislation.
Trump’s past liberalism is a total non-issue.
+++++++++++++++++
that you Hitlery Clinton? Pelosi? Reid? Schumer???
I agree with you and you make a good point in the post. The headline is long and all caps, made me originally think this is an anti-Trump post.
Great Post!
