“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.
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.”

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.

I mentioned two things I don't like about Trump but you are right - there is much more not to like.

A strong Trump run may end up electing Hillary. My current thinking is that conservatives are no worse off with Hillary as president (and a weak, corrupt Republican opposition) than we are with Obama as president (and a weak, corrupt Republican opposition.)

I’m not sure this means anything as he never before viewed himself as a future politician. That may well have all been for business influence.

Trump gave only $100k to Clintons? So stingy of Trump!

That amount is 0.00111% of his net worth! Must not like them much, but she was senator where he did business & SOS.
