Still, Trump has the potential to do what conservatives are unable to do: break the backs of Rubio and Jeb Bush. This is a good thing.
Indeed. Warts and all, I'll back this guy until it comes down to Cruz and him - all the others are posers.
“There’s two things conservatives must remember about Trump: he wanted Oprah Winfrey to be his vice-presidential running mate and he supports an “assault weapons” ban. Trump would ban AR-15s, the most popular rifle in America.

And he was a registered Democrat from 2001 to 2009, but he’s been a Pubbie and an Independent, too.

He also donated $100K to the Clinton Foundation a few years ago.

Since I guess you never got the message Trump was kidding about Oprah as a running mate. He has repeatedly joked about it. Who in their right mind would ever have believed he was serious? And that’s the rest of the story. :-)
Was not the Oprah remark tongue in cheek ?
Out of context posting as usual!
Donald Trump:
“I certainly stand by my opposition to Gun Control when it comes to taking guns from law-abiding citizens. You mention that the media describes the AR-15 as an “assault rifle,” which is one example of the many distortions they use to sell their agenda. However, the AR-15 does not fall under this category. Gun-banners are unfortunately preoccupied with the AR-15, magazine capacity, grips, and other aesthetics, precisely because of its popularity.”
“To the Left every gun is an assault weapon.”
“Gun control does not reduce crime. It has consistently failed to stop violence. Americans are entitled to protect their families, their property and themselves. In fact, in right-to-carry states the violent crime rate is 24% lower than the rest of the United States and the murder rate is 28% lower. This should not be up for debate.”

As one poster very wisely wrote, “Trump is clearing the way for Cruz”.
Any one who posts Trump wants Oprah as his running mate, is obviously lying because he/she never saw the interview during which that conversation took place. It is totally out of context to say Trump “wants” Oprah as VP. If you favor another candidate, I have no problem. But lying about opponent candidate does not dignify you.
