There has been a big question mark about the sincerity of Donald Trump's views, given that he has spent 99% of his adult life supporting liberal positions, including amnesty for illegal aliens,and saying at one point that Hillary Clinton was a really good secretary of state.
But he was said to be changed when he ran for president earlier this year. He spoke rousingly against illegal aliens and against Muslim immigration.
But all of a sudden he has taken a leftward tack,perhaps figuring, erroneously,that this is the best way to outflank Ted Cruz. Trump has actually criticized Ted Cruz for failing to support ethanol mandates....If Donald Trump can't cut ethanol, how can he cut any form of corporate welfare?...He throws out the old line of getting rid of "waste,fraud,and abuse," but every candidate says that. In fact, Trump never talks about cutting the budget. Our debt is slowly destroying the country,and he has no plan to reduce deficits.
Even more alarmingly, Trump has criticized Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia...
...Trump's attitude seems to be that he likes affirmative action, regardless of the results...Can we really afford to have a president appointing more supreme court justices who support such discrimination?
Racial discrimination against whites and Asians, also known as affirmative action, is just fine with Donald Trump. On Meet the Press..."I lived with it for a long time. And I've had great relationships with lots of people. So I'm fine with it."
Lastly, Trump blasted Ted Cruz for acting like a "maniac" in his fight against the establishment GOP in the U.S. Senate...As Mark Levin noted,he seems to be labeling all of us who supported Cruz's efforts to stop Obamacare and Obama's illegal amnesty and Obama's runaway spending as maniacs as well. Even Rush Limbaugh has said that Trump's tack to the left raises "red flags."......

You are flat wrong on that.
Perry was a border governor, he would have sealed the border and enforced the laws.
And the cognitive dissonance continues.
Trump should have run for NY governor.
I’m looking forward to a Trump-Cruz ticket. 16 years of putting America back on the right course.
Yup, you were stumping for a Carter-Gore Democrat turned RINO, recruited by Tokyo Rove. An open-borders pimp. And you wanted to inflict that on America.
Your wife is right.
With all the recent cries to remove anything remotely Confederate or perceived as racist or insensitive down -
Where is the outrage that a vast majority of public bridges, roads, parks and more in W.V. are named after a Klu Klux Klan recruiter?
If everyone loves somebody all the time, they aren't paying attention....
Albany is a cesspool, and not worth 5 minutes of his time. They’d need a U.S. Attorney to begin to clean it up. It’s a dead-end for any GOP Presidential aspirant, and no sitting NY GOP Governor has ever gone to the Presidency directly (the closest was Theodore Roosevelt, but it took an assassination). I’d expect that’s the reason for your unsolicited and unhelpful advice where Trump is concerned.
Perry was an amnestybot and he blocked legislation that would have made sure Texas hospitals didn’t have to treat illegals who weren’t paying. That in turn caused medical centers in poorer Texas counties to close.
Texas residents explained this too you when you were supporting La Raza Rick and you continued.
You have zero credibility left and the sole person responsible for that is you.
Me too.
I know.
I have.
:-(
Then Trump should have run for NY Mayor.
I agree with Trump.
In what political capacity was Trump meeting with the Clintons ?
La Raza Rick was meeting with and addressing a LEFTIST RACIST HATE SUPREMACIST group in his capacity as a Governor.
NEXT !
She’s simultaneously defending La Raza Rick and ripping down Trump in the same thread. Which one has pissed off the open borders crowd ? It ain’t Captain Gardasil.
And, again, NYC Mayor is also a dead-end job for a Presidential aspirant. But if you read my posts, you’d know that.
I’m looking forward to a Trump-Cruz ticket. 16 years of putting America back on the right course.
Haha! I’m not a fan of Jeb, but Jeb made Trump look very unstable. Extremely unstable. With all his Chevy Chase-like facial expressions... seriously childish and embarrassing.
I disagree. The fact that Trump would have to share the stage with someone polling at 3% (within the margin of error) would be off-putting. El Jebbe is a loser, we know it and Trump knows it. Why is he still in the race ?
