Over at Conservative Review today they have an in-depth piece looking at Trump's questionable political history, from his positions on everything from immigration to Syria to even support for Mitch McConnell.
Here's an example:
On September 8, 2015, Trump said the following about the Syrian refugees: "I hate the concept of it, but on a humanitarian basis of what's happening, you have to." Just a day later he partially reversed course:
I think we should help, but I think we should be very careful because frankly, we have very big problems. We're not gonna have a country if we don't start getting smart.
Then he went on to promote a ban on Muslim immigration. This proposal set off an imbroglio within the political world that completely washed away the fact that Trump's first thoughts were to follow the groupthink.
Conservatives need to know if Donald Trump is really the man who will put Americans first and demolish the "dummies" in Washington or if his lack of a coherent philosophy will lead him to reflexively parrot the very politically correct talking points he so vehemently assails and yet has so often adopted. Is Trump who we think he is on immigration or is he pragmatically trying to tap into a frustration to win the primary with a plan to revert to his original talking points after winning?
Indeed we covered that both here and here, where Trump literally switched positions one day apart. I think that's what we call pandering.
And this is just one example.
Considering how Trump has switched positions during this very campaign on important issues (like Syria or Cruz eligibility, etc), which version of Trump will he be when he gets to Washington and decides he wants to get stuff done? Who or what will he support in the name of 'doing business' to get legislation through? Will he be as tough as he is now or will he turn into much more of a compromiser in the name of ‘doing business’?
I really think that's an open question, especially based on his past 'business' relationships.
I know people who know him personally. He is serious about ‘fixing’ the country, and has a good idea what is wrong with it (Hint: government)
ANY Trump beats Dorkbama the Muslim or the wicked witch of the cuckold.
At least he won’t have to get permission from Goldman Sachs first.
LOL.
Another RS Trump hit piece....that references....of all sites....CRuz Review.
No thanks.
I’m pretty sure that - if he becomes President - Trump will turn his back on his promises and become just another Uniparty ruler.
We could do a lot worse like some amnesty loving paid whore.
Great Trump Quotes:
“I’m putting the people on notice that are coming here from Syria as part of this mass migration,” Trump said during an evening rally in Keene, New Hampshire. “If I win, they’re going back.”
He’s going to show up ready to fix stuff. That’s all you should care about.
Vitter and Donald Trump were the only ones calling Rubio nuts in early 2013. Cruz was trying to fix Rubio’s amnesty bill.
All of congress is going to roll over and do whatever car salesman Cruz proposes.
The Trump that will be willing to let patriots get him up to speed with the federal governments constitutionally limited powers.
Speaking of which, patriots need to support the next conservative president by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Yeah I read it. just another hit piece probably funded by the Republican Establishment. Tries to shine a spotlight on long past issues, some of many years ago. I Assigned the label “ BS” by its trying to sound the gong of fear.
Smell the fear of Trump. He lives in your head rent free 24/7.
I predict that after Trump as been attacked from every conceivable angle on the compass, after every avenue of attack has been exhaustively explored, after every rock had been overturned and searched, after every comment Trump has ever uttered has been thoroughly examined, writers like this will turn to astrology, animal entrails, and tarot cards in order to deliver their concerns.
`I looked at it as a GOPe hit piece...

GO TRUMP!
I totally disagree. Why would he? He has said himself that if elected he would bring the country “BACK INTO THE CONSTITUTION.” That’s enough for me. If elected he will have the majority of the people with him. Why would he abandon the people for a few One World Order Establishment jerks? They don’t own him now, and he would never let them own him then. Not a part of his character to throw in with losers.
“I know people who know him personally. He is serious about ‘fixing’ the country, and has a good idea what is wrong with it (Hint: government)”
Rush also knows him very well and is CONVINCED he’s not lying regarding this campaign. I also cannot, for the life of me, see a motivation for Trump to lie.
Good enough for me...he gets my vote.
I’ll give him a chance to build that wall.
