I notice one pretty stunning weakness in this article. There are no actual quotes, or sources, showing Trump actually said any of this. Instead, what we have, is a writer putting words in Trumps mouth.

Here is an actual Trump quote on the topic.

Cannot change Medicare or Soc.Sec. and still win elections [At CPAC, Trump said}: "As Republicans, if you think you are going to change very substantially for the worse Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security in any substantial way, and at the same time you think you are going to win elections, it just really is not going to happen," Mr. Trump said, adding that polls show that tea partyers are among those who don't want their entitlements changed. "What we have to do and the way we solve our problems it to build a great economy."

Staff

That's just BS! Name the writer/writers. Who on "the staff" wrote it? There isn't a list of "the staff" on your site.
Not naming them is disingenuous as you have right, left and middle writers at your site and, I'd be willing to bet, on your "staff" as well.

Or is...ahem...staffing your readers the objective?

Donald Trump has what none of the other candidates do.

An alimentary canal without a hand, full of money, inside of it.

Curious that IBD pulled a certain quote and provided their own context. How about providing the entire transcript, video or interview so I can make my own judgment. I thought conservative media was supposed to be honest? If they’re no better than the msm then what’s the point. Might as well tune to Nbc and nyt to get the news.

Sadly our electorate has arrived at a point where it is unlikely that a “pure” Conservative can get elected.

A right-leaning Populist gives us our best shot at stopping the madness.

As long as Trump is on the correct side of the single most important issue (illegal immigration) of the last 40 years, he has my vote and that of many others on this forum. The elite uniparty on both sides of the political spectrum have failed the people on this issue for waaay toooo looong. Nice try, troll!

They’ve always been there. But the Trump groupies have, and will continue to, ignore them.

If you want to poke your finger in the eye of the GOP establishment, all well and good. But understand that your chosen champion is a disaster for conservatism.

Appears IBD is a partner with the vile, crony socialists at the Chamber of Commerce and seeking NO BORDERS that will destroy America.

The Dems bringing undocumented Democrats and documented Democrats into this country is the biggest problem.Not only is it n1 it also nu 2 nu 3 and nu 4. Trump is the one who is most likely to stop it and who is the most electable. To me that is everything. He may of had some Democrat issues in the past and maybe even a lot of them, but as long as he stays true on this one that is what counts. If the country clubbers are going to sell out on this one than they deserve to pay more of our social security. These stupid bastards are going to pay it any way if we do not get control of our borders.

The idea that a medium with a niche--as opposed to a general--socio/economic focus, should be taken seriously in an effort to define Left & Right, is silly on its face. Your journal has a certain role to play; but your focus is market driven, not philosophic.

Get a little perspective.

Trump is in the final stages of wrapping up the nomination so he can concentrate on taking Shrillary out. We just have a few Freepers and RINO’s who cannot move from depression to Acceptance. :-)

Trump is 100% for businesses who keep jobs in America. You are confusing those types of businesses with those who use NAFTA & TPP to export American jobs.
