Alright, alright. People are going to call me a RINO no matter where I line up on this one, so please, hold your hate mail until you read the points below. Is that fair? Lets go.
Donald Trump gave over $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Despite the fact that he openly criticizes the foundation and the Clintons lack of transparency regarding it. Now we dont have the exact numbers, we only know that his contributions number over $100,000 and under $250,000. Also this may be a good time to note that he personally supported Hillary Clintons senate campaign. Just had to give you a heads up, you know, because Im a RINOz and all.
Over the years, he has consistently supported Democrats over Republicans. Since 1990, Trump has given $541,650 to Democratsmore than he gave to Republicans over the same period of time. Kind of odd for someone who claims to be such a gung ho Republican these days, wouldnt you say?
In 2008, Donald Trump supported Obamas campaign. This one is pretty self-explanatory, but heres a quote from 2011 for good measure. I was his biggest cheerleader, If you go back three years, Im saying, Do a great job. I thought he was a positive person, always,
Trump has switched parties at least five times since the 1980s. Three times since 2001. Trump is a new kind of politician. Hes what the progressives call party-fluid.
His disgusting abuse of government power/eminent domain. Michelle Malkin has covered this extensively. Heres the thing, with Trump this isnt a one-time thing. Its seemingly an integral part of his business model. In 1997, he even went as far as to use eminent domain to try and evict an elderly widowso that he could build a limousine parking lot. I hate to play identity politics here but what a dick.
Donald Trump, in 2000 supported gun control, abortion, higher taxes and socialized healthcare. Do I Do I really need to add anything here?
Donald Trump Stood against Pro-1st amendment Conservatives when facing radical Islam. Yep, Trump even went as far as to slam Pamela Gellar for her cartoon contest in Texas. Now, regardless of whether you think Pam Gellars event is tasteless, the woman faced violence from radical Islam. I dont know a single, self-respecting Conservative who deemed it appropriate to slam her, standing arm-in-arm with angry Islamists. Not one. Unless you count Trump?
He wants Oprah Winfrey on his ticket. Yes, the same Oprah who supported Obama, called all of his critics out as racist and yes, the same Oprah who said that all racists were white, and that they all need to die. Welcome your new VP.
Most importantly his hair. Sorry, this is still LouderWithCrowder.com We had to bring this down a childish notch. On a serious note, can a man who wont even reveal his true hairline truly be trusted as president? Hard questions. We ask them. By the way, please do click on all those hyperlinks for yourself. Dont take my word for it. Do your own research. Youll find that everything there is in order. Now, with all of the evidence at hand, were left with two possible conclusions. Either A) Donald Trump suffers from a severe split-personality disorder. Or B) Donald Trump is a fraud. A man devoid of principles who bases all of his decisions on the winds of political expediency.
At best, hes a bold, entertaining voice of opposition. At worst, hes a wolf in sheeps clothing. Dont be fooled. Do your research.

I’d vote Trump in a heartbeat if the GOPe puts up another liberal like Romney. And given that the GOPe colludes with the gaystream media to position liberals for the nomination, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump isn’t the best candidate that the GOP can get on the nomination.
I’d like to think we could get a true conservative nominated, but it ain’t happened. And I’m not even sure we have a true conservative in the running.
First post right out of the box,,bash. If you like Cruz you can also like Trump and vice versa.
Some hard core conservatives believe the race will be won by acting like liberals and spitting in the face of people who don’t share the same opinion or viewpoint. Sad to watch.
Because maybe he’s not a hardcore partisan? Maybe you and he disagree? There are very few pedigreed conservatives in the world. If it’s enough to turn you off that’s cool. I like his push for jobs and Trump has probably created more American jobs than all the other candidates combined.
Thank you for posting this. I liked what he had to say but he is truly an unstable wing nut not to be trusted.
Hmmm, where are the Trumpers on this one?
Defending the only Conservative in the race is a pleasure.
So, who do you support?
Danny, you are embarrassing our State. Seriously, man, get a clue.
Trump isn’t the only one who gets economics or he wouldn’t have supported Single Payer health care...or Obama in 2008.
You haven’t done your work on TPA, so I won’t waste my time. You must like buying into something posted by a LEFTIST to fracture the GOP. BTW, what is wrong with attending a fundraiser?
If you don’t know, based on records, who is the truest Conservative, then I can’t help you.
You’re not even sure we have a true Conservative running? Wow...I am at a loss for words. How on earth are you on FR if you don’t know who are the Conservatives?
You talk about voting for Trump (which is who I suspect you support anyway) if the GOP-e puts up another RINO...well, this just in, in 2004 Trump was a Democrat.
You are right...he isn’t a hard core partisan (if you mean Trump). He is a closet leftist.
You want principled Conservatives and yet you shill for a man who recently was a Liberal? LMAO!
Great, so Trump has created jobs...but, um, about that eminent domain thing...
Reagan was once a liberal Democrat. What’s your point? You seem unable to tolerate any opinion that doesn’t perfect line up with yours.
I’m not shilling for anyone. Trying to keep an open mind, unlike you. BTW eminent domain is legal. And it’s such a hot topic for Americans right now isn’t it? No, it’s not.
You want to take a guess as to which topic matters more to Americans,,jobs or eminent domain? Do you mean to say Cruz would not defend the law of eminent domain? Of course he would. So, again, other than your venomous disrespect for anyone who doesn’t lick Cruz’s boots clean enough for you, what do you have to offer? BTW I like Cruz, and your closed-mindedness doesn’t do him any favors.
LOL...he was never Liberal.
The thing about Ronaldus Magnus is that he didn’t suddenly decide to run for President after changing parties.
Can you tell me WHY Reagan switched and then tell me WHY Trump is all of the sudden Conservative?
I assure you, Reagan wouldn’t have voted for Obama in 2008...hmmm
LOL....right, it is a legal issue...
What does it do, exactly?
Hey, you are right, I guess Trump does have the money to help the economy by PAYING people to show up for rallies!
You say you are keeping an open mind, but you seem pretty, um, ardent in your defense of Trump.
Blah, blah, blah...yes, because of me you won’t vote for Cruz. Hey, guess what, Boehner has a hanky for you to cry on.
Eminent domain is just one issue...explain all of the other issues with Trump. Explain what makes him Conservative. then, explain to me why he hasn’t filed to run yet.
You seem to think so “freely”, and yet, you don’t.
Trump is a DEMOCRAT!!! Do some research!
I did some research. That is why I brought this subject up. I said Trump was a Dem. Couldn’t be more simple.
I’m sorry....I forgot to say Freepers, do some research....I know you did.
You, for so far showing that you couldnt care less that he was when, you supported him?
Or Trump, who has a Romney like history of being pro-abortion and anti-gun?<<
Good grief, settle down. You're gonna pop a blood vessel.
