Trump has certainly proved you right.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in November 1999 that, if elected president, he wanted to make Charles Rangel, the Democratic Congressman from New York, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
At the time, real estate magnate was considering running for president as a member of the Reform Party. Asked by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer if he’d “given some thought to a potential Trump Cabinet,” Trump mentioned Rangel as his top choice to lead HUD.
“Well, let’s go — like HUD,” Trump said. “I think Charlie Rangel is a terrific guy. He’s a congressman from New York. He has been a powerful guy. Now the Democrats are not in power, but I think he’d be terrific at HUD.”
Rangel has been a member of the House since 1971 and is still in office. His website touts his record promoting affordable housing in New York’s 13th Congressional District.
Other Trump Cabinet picks would have included Colin Powell as secretary of state and General Electric CEO Jack Welch as treasury secretary. Trump said that John McCain would be “a very interesting candidate” for secretary of defense.
In the interview, Trump also predicted that, if he won the Reform Party’s nomination, he would “take more votes away from the Democrats” than the Republicans in the general election. He ended up withdrawing from the race in February 2000.
Donald Trump:
Republican (Before 1999)
Reform Party (1999–2001)
Democratic (2001–09)
Republican (2009–11)
Independent (2011–12)
Republican (2012--present)
???
Trust him? Yes. Definitely trust him more than career politicians like Walker, Bush, Rubio, and their ilk.
I believe people can change.
More mental masturbation as soon as we crawl out of bed...and turn on the computer...
Yeah, it does get old and tiring, doesn’t it. Good morning! Top of the news is another rant against Trump and spam for Walker. You can set your clock by it!
Trump has certainly proved you right.
Any estimate of how many FReepers you have converted by your non stop barrage of this crap? Give it a rest.
You can set your watch by the rapidity with which his defenders will tell us that the messenger is crazy, that the messenger is a Rino, that it doesn't matter because everybody does it, that it doesn't matter because he is electable.
There is ZERO chance of changing a Trump fan into a Walker fan.
Give it up.
Walker is a loser.
I guess all these Trump ‘exposes’ will get more grotesque as time goes on.
I guess they ‘MSM’etal pulled all the people that are still trying to find out what BO got on his SAT’s or whatever.
I hear that Trump took some gum from a movie theater when he was 7.
He scraped it from under the seat.
Then again, the extreme extreme ‘Pro Trump’ radicals (just as bad as the anti Trump radicals) will have proof that when he found out the gum was purchased from the theater he went and paid for it .. you know, kind of like Lincoln walking the 10 miles -in a blizzard - uphill (BOTH WAYS) to return the 12 cents change that he shorted a customer.
If it matters (or not) - Trump isn’t quite my ‘cup of tea’ but he is at least shining the light on the crooked bunch of SOB’s that are currently making our laws and running rampant over us - Even our ‘so called’ leaders sit back and do nothing but huff and puff every now and then - like whenever the D’s give them permission to ‘sound tough’.
As to Trump and his ‘helping’ Sharpton etal, even Tony S knew you had to grease the palms of certain people just to keep certain avenues open... Of course when ‘they’ outlived Tony and his ilks usefelness, they were ‘fed to the fishes’.
As you can see by your own post -he was only a D for 8 years. He is 69 years old, so that leaves 51 years of voting time - he was mostly a Republican. Give it a rest - you are getting tiresome. Do you have news alerts set for anti-Trump articles? Or do you spend countless hours combing the archives? He also said he wanted Oprah for VP. Do you really think he is serious? Let’s now talk about Walker’s flip flopping on issues, shall we?
There is ZERO chance of changing a Trump fan into a Walker fan.
WHY?..... Walker is a conservative and Trump ISN’T..
Donald Trump:
Republican (Before 1999)
Reform Party (1999–2001)
Democratic (2001–09)
Republican (2009–11)
Independent (2011–12)
Republican (2012—present)
Fasicist (2016-2020)
Helloooo, your candidate today is an amnesty pimp. Give it a rest Cincinatus. You’re candidate is a loser and has no chance
Walker is a good third or fourth choice for the GOP nomination. But he has about as much charisma as Bob Dole.
Aiyeeee!

True that is.. BUT alas.. He (( IS )) a conservative..
Trump is NOT.. may not even be a republican..
Cruz KNOWS whom TRUMP .. IS ....and.... Isn’t..
Veep for Trump I doubt that.. Cruz has principles..
however Trump may be OUTTED.. because he doesn’t..
Trump will deal with anyone.. honesty is not required..
Hillary Clinton:
liar 178
dishonest 123
untrustworthy 93
Donald Trump:
arrogant 58
blowhard 38
idiot 35
I think it will be easier for Donald Trump to convince 53% of voters (outside of the margin of fraud) that he's not an "idiot" than for Hillary to convince 50% of voters that she's not "a liar", not "dishonest" and not "untrustworthy".
Trump is a genius. He may be an evil genius, but he's a genius.

Who has a chance?.. The fight has not even started yet..
Sure a few stoners may see Trump thru the “HAZE” but even Trump is not fully visible YET..
He is carrying some GOD awful baggage..
TRUMP “shrines” may be torn down SOON..
