Salon ^ | 15 April 2011 | David Weigel

Posted on 04/15/2011 9:02:09 PM PDT by RightOnTheLeftCoast

Enter the Donald, Take Two How will the Trump 2012 presidential campaign explain the Trump 2000 presidential campaign? ...[T]he Republican Party's nomination looked ungettable, sure to be captured by George W. Bush. So Trump left the party... ...The goal of health care reform, wrote Trump, should be a system that looks a lot like Canada....

I was wondering when someone would bring up Trump's run in 2000 on the Reform Party ticket... right on cue, here's Salon.

Though hardly a conservative source, what they have to say should be of deep concern to conservatives.

RINOs will overlook it because he is right on ONE issue...there us not a true conservative that backs Trump. He wanted universal healthcare, eminent domain, does not support 2nd amendment, failed marriages, bankruptcy

I don’t think a professional salesman really ever explains his tall tales, whether from past or present.

If you have to dredge up stuff from 12 year old news, things are getting pretty desperate, don’t you think?

Heck in 12 years I have tripled my net worth, dropped my handicap from 22 to 10 and bought 4 new cars. 12 years is eternity in political time span.

People are getting excited about a candidate without properly vetting him. It’s Obama all over again.

You couldn't make me read anything named Salon. Saloon yes. Any way It went from Palin Hate to Bachman obsession to Ryan fear now Ta Da Trump fetish. Trump is huge fun . He is taking it to Princess O while at the same time demonstrating how small the 2012 pub roster looks. I hope he hangs around long enough to force at least one of these midgets to grow a pair. The debates will be a thing of beauty. Watch him scrape the dog doo off his shoe on the backs of those frauds who think they are reporters.

Times NOW are desperate...
Trump made his billions in Real Estate.

Trump loves the country that made him a billionaire.
Little Stevie Dunham HATES America and the capitalist system.

Keep talking, Trump....your past is beautiful compared to Little Stevie Dunham’s present.

Little Stevie Dunham’s PAST needs airing out.

Incorrect, we can actually see Trump’s birth certificate.
And both of Trump’s parents were American citizens. And we can see Trump’s college grades. And Trump never was registered as a Muslim student.

Your comparison fails with facts.

LOL! I love some of these people. They fawn over Prince Al Waleed aka Saudi Arabia’s Fox News as Al Waleed is some of the money behind the 9/11 Mosque. Or they say scientologist and Dem lawyer Great is our friend.

Well Trump is a lot more American than your largest shareholder at Fox the Saudi. Dumb ****s.

It’s mostly the communists in the WhiteHut who are concerned enough to vet Trump now. The guy is not even a candidate.

I think you should study the polls. While the very strict social issue conseratives are not supporters of Donald Trump. The majority of Republicans that are opposed to Donald Trump are those from the Romney/McCain wing of the party.

No pro-Amnesty republican would support Donald Trump.

On the other hand, Donald Trump has the support of the majority of Tea Party people and strict constitutionalists.

It's a push . However O is a nasty little man . Speaking of nasty little men , i saw Rove on Fox tonight . It was funny watching him going after the D man like he was Christine O'Donnell . Rove sounded like an old Queen and looked very small. What ever else he is , Trump is a huge personality and makes the others look old and stale.
