Yep, and like kabar and some others, they lie and intentionally misrepresent and give false choices

I had one of them keep accusing me and anyone else remotely skeptical of Trump of being Hillary supporters, because apparently in his mind the only candidates running are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

rumps comments on universal health care over the years...he is in WORSE SHAPE than Mitt is on Obama Care....because at least Mitt never advocated for a national universal system.....but the loonies won't address that.

I'm sure he's changed his mind on this one about a half-dozen times since he last talked about it. The problem with Trump isn't so much that he's a crypto-liberal posing as a conservative or some kind of intentional stalking horse for liberals, it's that he really has no political agenda at all besides self-promotion. I get the impression that he has no core political convictions at all, and that he'll sound like a liberal today and like a conservative tomorrow depending on what mood he's in and what will generate the most controversy and media attention. That's fine for the reality show circuit, it doesn't really inspire much confidence politically.

Usually "fringe" candidates, whether you like their politics or not, have some kind of core agenda, so that their candidacies are about issues and policies, not about them. Perot was talking about and lobbying on behalf of a balanced budget amendment for decades fore he ran for President. Ralph Nader was a leftist gadfly for decades before he ran. They have some kind of track record to suggest that whether you like their views or not, at least they're fairly consistent, sincere and are running for the sake of getting a message out, rather than themselves. Trump never used his money or considerable media ties to seriously advance any of the issues he's running on now. That's because Trump's only consistent message seems to be Trump.

“That’s because Trump’s only consistent message seems to be Trump. “

Tell it to the veterans he’s helped thru the years without fan fare or accolades. Tell it to the vets in the news today talking about how they appreciate he is speaking up for them, after years of supporting them.

No matter what political side he’s claimed to be on, he has always supported our veterans. He is a very pro-America person and that’s a huge contrast from the DC Elites up there now.
