Is Donald Trump going off the liberal deep end?
The American Thinker ^ | December 15, 2015 | Ed Straker

Posted on 12/16/2015 12:50:35 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

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."......

Why should any of us care what is posted here at FR? Unless it’s a vanity, any piece can be found in numerous other places on the web. FR doesn’t have a censorship board (yet).

Last I looked, FR was not a “safe zone” but an open forum for debate. Or are we going to join the ranks of the snowflakes at liberal universities whining about being micro-egressed or some such nonsense?

There are lots of pieces posted here that I don’t agree with, but I choose not to be a snowflake.

You’re welcome.

Wish it were not so.

It’s an agonizingly beautiful state.

The author is a LIAR. Trump wrote in a 2010 book nearly all of the policy proposals regarding deporting illegal aliens, building a wall and ending birthright citizenship. This year he added a FREEZE in H1-B visa levels and a requirement that tech businesses match the H1-B salary to what they would pay to an American worker -- which Zuckerberg's group is violently opposed to.

Ted Cruz endorsed legal status for illegals, and a 500% increase in H1-B visas for foreigners to displace American workers. Does that make Cruz a "liberal" too?

I counted 16 instances of microaggression, 2 instances of macroaggression, and some gratuitious gun violence.

BTTT!

Couldn’t (and haven’t) said it better myself. Exactly my plan. Dare I say what you have said here should be the plan for, at least, everyone on FR, if not all conservatives in general.

After he says, "yeah, and I won" maybe he'll just let you off with a warning?

Smiling real big might help.
