The democratic party has gone from center liberal to left socialism (bordering communism) in 2011.
JFK would never have even won a mayoral race as a democrat today. He’d be unelectable as a democrat today.
” I’m starting to think that Trump is a plant. “ ========================
I just said the same thing! I love what Trump is doing, but if he is real the Obama team will soon remind us what a non-conservative Donald Trump has always been and we’ll begin to sober up. Trump won’t get past the primary.
Otherwise, wonder if the Obama campaign team got him out there to get all the controversies out, so when the time is right they can clean it up and all will be long forgotten by election Tuesday, Novermber, 2012. A commercial gain for Trump would be pretty easy for the WON. The rich stick together.
The Donald’s business interests require him to be able to work with Democrats and liberals in order to get things done. Political donations to incumbents in places like NY and Chicago are just a cost of doing business. Thinking his previous donations indicate anything about his personal political views is pretty much the same as judging Tiger Woods’ golf game by his performance on a putt-putt course. Trump’s done quite well on the putt-putt courses of NYC and Chicago and Palm Beach... looks like he wants to use his driver in the presidential election. Should be interesting.
Does business in NJ doesnt he? He has buildings in Las Vegas doesnt he?
The democrats control the places he does most of his business dont they?
Your probably right about that
Good for Trump to bring attention to Obama’s birth certificate, but he's no conservative by a long shot, and he should under no circumstance be the Republican nominee in 2012.
Not a Trump supporter myself, but I'd say the words you are looking for are: Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
mnehring, where on your chart does it show the imminent destruction of the United States and where do the candidates stand on that issue? You are caught up in crap that was 23 steps ago. We are standing at the edge of the abyss and need to yank this thing back now before it is too late. If Trump has the ability to open up the peoples eyes and help destroy obama and his ilk, then get out of his way.
I think I would rather vote for a questionable business man than the typically corrupt politician.
While I would like to see someone other than the Donald as the nominee, if it’s a choice between him or Mitt, Huck, Pawlenty,and a few others I’d take Donald.
The money is in taking back the Congress...the POTUS just needs to go along for the ride.
Trump has also donated to Republicans. Wealthy/successful business people and corporations are known for contributing to both parties in order to ensure that their interests are being looked out for regardless of shifting political winds. It’s as common as corruption. Trump is a professional businessman, not a professional politician. He has been playing a totally different game than your standard politicians and that is part of his appeal IMHO.
Wow-—interesting facts about his Dem contributions. Maybe The Donald voted for the Bam and now just hates what America has become under King BOZerO. WHat I don’t like about The Donald is he might be a little too arrogant and not much of a christian. On the other hand BOZerO is an unmitigated disaster. If Trump is on the ticket he gets my vote.
Pretty smart!!
Every RINO on capital hill could pass the campaign contribution purity test. But they are nothing more than a bunch of self serving lawyer turned politician seeking to become one of the elite. And then feather their nest with incumbency.
Donald Trump will never pass through the ideological purity test. But personally I don't care.
I think is a red blooded American who genuinely loves this country and is pissed off at what the Obama and the dems are doing. No way this guy is just looking to get elected to pad his resume and then play the game the way it has always been played.
I hope to God he keeps gaining momentum.
All of those issues are pieces of the destruction you cite and Trump leans far more toward the policies that result in said destruction.
What’s your Discredit Score?
We aren't talking 'purity' test here, but he doesn't even pass minimum standards. He is almost identical to Bill Clinton politically (see political charts above).
Yes the guy lives and works in NYC. Home of the Liberal Mother beast. Of course he has to spread the moola around to make sure his business deals get done. He gives to both parties. So do all the major corporations in America. I am more concerned about what Trump would do as President to get this country back on track. If he has good ideas then I would listen. Just busting Barry on the BC is a great donation to the conservative cause.
There is no guarantee that conservatives will be “in control” during a hypothetical Trump administration, and that could easily lead us down the path two disaster from just my two primary issues.
Putting another RINO in the White House is not the answer, which is why it is imperative to begin the vetting of potential candidates now, and Trump cannot be trusted, IMO.
I think Trump is his own man.
