ConservativeReview.com, which is edited by conservative talk show host Mark Levin, has emerged as a great ranking service for politicians. Recently the site ranked the positions of Donald Trump based on his public comments. Since everyone knows that Trump has spent most of his adult life as a liberal but has since recanted nearly all of his former positions, I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and exclude any quotations over one year old. Everything you read below has come from Trump's own plush lips in the past twelve months:
Taxes: Trump wants to lower income taxes (though not as much as Ted Cruz), but he also wants to take a lot of voters off the tax rolls entirely, giving them incentive to vote for politicians who will vote to raise taxes and spending on the remaining people who do pay income taxes.
Free Trade: Trump will slap high tariffs on goods from China, Japan, and Mexico, which has the potential to create more jobs in America but also to radically raise the price of consumer goods here.
Guns: Trump currently supports Second Amendment gun rights, in contrast to his past support for gun control.
Abortion: Trump is against abortion. On August 3, he said he would defund Planned Parenthood, but on August 11, he changed his mind, saying he wants to continue funding Planned Parenthood, finding ways to finance the "good things" they do. Since all money is fungible, that would mean the continued indirect subsidy of abortions and sale of baby parts.
Immigration: In contrast to his previous positions, Trump is now the best candidate on immigration, wanting to build a wall, deport illegals (and then let many back), and end birthright citizenship.

Somehow I think the most free market that they can think of is slavery. Or at least the ability to bring in a thousand foreigners who are willing to work for room and board and putting them to work on my work compound that I’ll build on my property.
Trump has electrolytes.
SSDD....more of the same daily diatribe from the loser community.
Luckily, I listen to all the speeches, read the tweets, quotes and articles by the candidates, and make up my own mind, the party-line, be damned.
These liberal, media, policy wonks are relying on yesteryear’s news to take down the opponents of their current day losers.
Meanwhile...the polls keep rolling on.
Trump sucked all the oxygen out of the room and injected laughing gas. I have been giddy ever since!
You’re taking over for Isara today? Even using his graphics and source.
Trump is what plants crave.
I’m glad there are colors assigned so I know what to think...
Still trolling the fraudulent CR ratings system? Levin is so in the tank for Cruz yet is intellectually dishonest and claims that he’s not endorsing anyone.
.....Trump sucked all the oxygen out of the room and injected laughing gas. I have been giddy ever since!
So that is what made 30% of the gop lose their minds. I kept thinking koolaid. Nothing reasoned about it.
Libertarians disguised as conservatives.
This is the essence of the Trump siren song.
yeah, nothing says wonky details like 3-4 major major issues that define who the man is......./sarc
did you call his pro Trump articles...and he’s written MANY - pieces of shit too?
Or are your standards flexible? obviously they are if you claim conservatism and this is your boi.
Levin is a good friend of Trump and has said many nice things about him....but truth is truth.
Or, put another way - instead of trashing Levin, why don’t you do what adults do and FIND ANYTHING IN CR’s RATINGS that you think is bogus.
Or is cult of personality bigger than truth to you? Go ahed, admit it, there’s a lot of that going around.
Sore Cruzerman much? LOL!
Electrolytes ...so perfect
