Here is a serious question I want everyone to consider:
When Trump announced his presidential run on June 16th of 2015, if he had announced he was running for the DEMOCRATIC nomination, would it have be unbelievable? Could he have positioned himself as a "moderate" democrat and gotten away with it? Would his history have supported that kind of announcement?
Nope, he wouldn’t have made it, because it was Hillary’s turn!
Here’s a serious question for you. If Trump had run as a Democrat, would the GOPe be any less apoplectic?
If Trump had run as a Democrat, Hillary would now be dropping out instead of Yeb!
If he was going to do that by going after illegals as he did when he announced, his campaign with the Democrats would have lasted about 0.000578 seconds
Not the question. It’s not a question of whether or not he would win. The question is whether or not people would have believed Trump could run as a democrat.
He has touchback amnesty in his plan. Surely, being the ultimate salesman, he could have sold the plan to the democrats as a “path to citizenship,” right?
And is amnesty the only thing?
What would happen if Santa Claus are wrestled the Easter Bunny? Who do you think would win?
This is a serious question.
Next question.
It would have been more honest.
Other than his newfound position on immigration easy.
So you’re saying that Trump posing as a conservative is about as real as the Easter Bunny? I think I can agree with that...
Not on an anti-illegal immigration plank.
Really? Based on what? Immigration alone? Dissent on ONE topic could easily be explained as the “moderate” part.
There is some word that Bill Clinton asked him to run as a Republican. Don’t know if it is true but I wouldn’t put it past Bill Clinton cuz he did get Perot to run against GH Bush.
You’ve already said you’re voting for Bernie if Trump gets the nomination. My guess is if you keep up with these vanities, you won’t be around much longer. Just a guess.
He couldn’t.
Hard on NAFTA.
Hard on illegals.
Pushing security.
Demanding the end of outsourcing.
NONE of those are left wing arguments.
He couldn’t have run left-wing.
It would not be shocking at all. It would be the turn that would make the most sense based on his past. Nobody would have batted an eye.
Dissent on one plank is explained by the “moderate” part.
