Really? That Trump doesn't have "a documentable history of leaning leftward moderate"?

On May 4, he was accusing Pam Geller (of "Draw the Mohammed" contest fame) of 'taunting' Muslims, saying:

"And, you know, I'm one that believes in free speech, probably more than she does. But what's the purpose of this? She's taunting them -- she's probably, it's very risky for her; I don't know, maybe she likes risk. But what the hell is she doing, and what is the purpose of it?"

Just today, Trump was asked if he supported tax subsidies for windfarms. He said he's all for them and understands why they're needed for a struggling industry.

Then what explains Trump's outspoken Twitters in 2012 strongly criticizing windfarms, rightly complaining about their ugliness and inefficiency to the fact that they kill birds? (Never a mention of how government has zero place in meddling with the marketplace as a reason objecting to the subsidies, or that they're being pushed in the first place as a result of "global warming" nonsense) ...

He's a businessman. Read the link.

On Nov. 13 (last week), in Iowa, someone asked, "Mr. Trump: what do you think about ethanol?" His answer: "I love it, I'm for it."

And what about the concept of Obamacare, essentially the Federal government making requirements of individuals with regard to health insurance and medical care? Here he is in late September, declaring of his promise to repeal Obamacare and REPLACE it with something "really terrific" --

"This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, "No, no, the lower 25 percent that can't afford private. But .... I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.... the government's gonna pay for it. But we're going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it's going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything."

I hate to break it to you, nikos and all my Trump loving FRiends, but the handwriting is on the wall.

He is a moderate for all his aggressive talk and patriotism. He sees government done his way as the solution.

Cruz sees drastically reduced government as the solution. I'll go with voting for that. I'm willing to own it.
