Ideology: Donald Trump now calls himself a âcommon sense conservative.â What does that mean? Based on positions heâs taken out so far, it appears that âcommon sense conservativeâ means siding with liberals like Bernie Sanders on a number of issues.

Just mostly liberal
I am already used to being way ahead of the American voter.....it’s been my history.
Not bitter - just biding my time until I can laugh in your face. Of course, the consequences for the nation will be disastrous - but I’ve been the watchman on the wall. Ignore at your own peril.
You, whoever you are, will then go and gutlessly hide behind a screen name....and never admit what a gullible fool you were. That day is coming.
What difference does it make...his supporters are not interested in anything that shows he is being dishonest!!! We get the government we deserve!!!
Neither, he is a nationalist/populist.
in other words, I have destroyed you intellectually and spreading your brown filled pampers everywhere is all you can do.
Here’s your sign........
I don't care if he's Hitler's first cousin; he's not Obama, he's not a Muslim and he want to build the Sovereign Nation Wall.
Please understand that republican does not equal conservative. The republican party has failed to deliver conservative policies for a long time but, that doesn't mean conservatism is a failure.
so in essence Trump is 100% liberal and he thinks Republicans are suckers about it and many of us are.
After 8 years of Obama we can’t afford to just settle for the center any more. If we are to survive we need someone to push hard right to even out the wreck that O has caused. Donald Trump is not that person. Ted Cruz is.
I got your point the first time, most excellent Theophilus.
Now, what will you say if Ted loses?
Mostly liberal.
Thread winner!
Ultimata toy you are what your record says you are, trumps record says he has no core values other than promoting himself.
Not what I will accept YMMV.
my cred on the subject so dwarfs yours, whoever the hell you are.
you are the one supporting the uni party candidate....and are not smart enough or man enough to admit it.
Trump is 100% opportunist.
He sounds conservative now, because that’s what many people are yearning for, but I have no confidence he will remain so once in office.
You just described the characteristics of a salesman! He’s not a politician, he’s a businessman. He will be whatever you need him to be to get the job done. THAT is the kind of person I’d like to hire for MY business.
America, anymore, is one, ‘’YUGE’’, corporate business. Trump is the ONLY one qualified to run that kind of a business.
Looking at a person’s past as a guide to what the future may bring is reasonable. Trump is the ONLY candidate who built businesses that made him a rich man. None of the others have done that. Trump has dealt with business which have struggled and faced bankruptcy. NONE of the others have any experience on how to handle such a thing. Yet, America is about to go paws-up and you politician supporters imagine a non-businessman politician can deal with it, when the problem was CAUSED by politicans in the first place?
These contestants can’t even make themselves rich, and are depending on handouts from businesses in an effort to convince you that they can do the nation some good when they can’t even manage their own affairs???
And you accused WHOM of projecting???? LOL!!
So far, the ONLY thing this attempt to bring up the past and throw mud at it is doing is making YOURSELVES look petty and shallow. Why? b’cus ya don’t know how to read the cards!
Y’all want news paper reporters to do your home work for you, and then complain about media spin?
How come we don’t have complaints from the peanut gallery, from those who work for the man? How come the only complaints are from politicians and not from businessmen?
AND, for those who are concerned, the next time Trump is twittering would be a very good time to let him know that his stinking website for vets isn’t working! Don’t complain to us here on forums. We can’t fix it! Go directly to HIM and tell HIM. You want real life knowledge of how things run with him, than face HIM. Then come back and tell us about your experience.
I have this uneasy feeling that the biggest bait and switch in political history is about to be perpetrated by The Donald. Maybe not the party switch. However, Trump as a populist is telling the people what they want to hear and those type of politicians never stand up to resistance because they have weak core beliefs. Donald Trump earned his wealth through crony capitalism. Do people really think that he's going to bite the hand that has fed him his whole life?
beat me to it
