His past positions have been pro-choice, anti-second amendment.

So him calling for the shut down of the government until Planned Parenthood is defunded is eveidence of him being pro choice? Okay, thanks.

He donated to the Clinton Foundation and supported Barack Obama in 2008.

He donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans too. This undoubtedly makes him a Conservative, right? I mean if donating to Leftists makes him a Leftist, then donating to Republicans makes him a Conservative?

Oh wait, you mean he can donate like this and not be either one? You mean his operating in New York state where Democrats hold the major state and federal offices, he might contribute more to them? Wow. Who would have every thought of that?

I don't think I would like donating to Democrats to have access, but I might if I was worth $9 billion and the jobs of thosuands of people I was responsible for were on the line.

He may have switched positions according to him, but if I was naïve enough to have had the same positions I would have a lot of self doubt.

Have you noticed that since he announced for his run for office, nobody has trashed him on ANY policy statement he has made? Why do you think that is? Conservatives haven't. Republicans haven't. Democrats haven't. They just ry to smear him and say he's a Leftist. Rather strange isn't it.

Why don't you link me to where you have? I'd like to see what you disagree with that he has said lately.

Those positions are leftist. He is 69 years old. Having leftist positions in your 20's and 30's is one thing.

He has also made Conservative statements over since the 80s. If your critea of a few bad comments makes him all bad, then wouldn't a few good comments make him all good?

I could possibly cut him some slack. But if you are still changing major positions in your 50's and 60's your moral foundation is weak.

I'll just hang here waiting for you to point out what you disagree with, that he has talked about recently.

In the end, if Trump wants to keep the momentum, Trump is going to have to respect the, er, momentor.

This is bigger than Trump. Fate (to speak rhetorically, we know, as always, it is the Lord) has matched some very hot issues up with his famous megaphone. And he is getting mileage.

The question now is what shall the rest of us do with this phenomenon.

Is any kind of Donald dialogue going on? I think he should be hearing from these new grass roots, urging him to understand what he has tapped into.

RE: So him calling for the shut down of the government until Planned Parenthood is defunded is eveidence of him being pro choice? Okay, thanks.

THAT is not the issue, the issue is him FLIP FLOPPING at a very convenient time.

One cannot help but think that Trump is an opportunist – one who, by the way, continues to contribute to liberal Democrats, including $6,000 to liberal Democrat Kamala Harris in her successful campaign for California attorney general, and who now is running to replace retiring California senator Barbara Boxer.

Because, of course, a Republican, conservative, tough-on-illegal-immigration, Obamacare-overturning, tax-lowering, spending-reducing presidential candidate, if elected, would want to have as many liberal Democrats in Congress as possible.

In the debate, He explains his contribution to the Clinton Foundation by telling the nation that he did it in order for Hillary to attend his wedding. SAY WHAT?

Why is it important for Hillary to attend his wedding? Will it be any less legitimate if she were absent? I wonder why nobody called him out on this.

Those who are skeptical of him are skeptical for a good reason.

Let’s look at economic policy. Larry Kudlow, after reviewing Trump’s past statements on taxes, spending, and trade, explains:

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed back in May 1999, Trump praised Ronald Reagan’s tax-rate cuts.

[…]

Trump also attacked [former Senator Bill] Bradley for putting a lid on IRA savings accounts, which caused a big drop in personal retirement saving.

[…]

But Trump shifted into tax-the-rich mode during the 2000 presidential campaign[, proposing] a one-time tax of 14.25 percent on the assets of individuals and trusts in excess of $10 million [to] pay off America’s debt.

[…]

Later on, Trump shifted again, saying he was strongly in favor of extending the George W. Bush tax cuts ...

And so on.

Trump supporters have explained their unshakeable support for Trump as “He says what I think.” That’s exactly right: Trump says what YOU think, not what he thinks.

And with five party switches and potentially a sixth on the horizon, we may never know. Because Donald Trump is an opportunist, with numerous past flip-flops to prove it.

And you blame us for being skeptical?

Sorry, WE ARE JUSTIFIED IN OUR SKEPTICISM.
