“Donald Trump was for the Clintons before he was against them”

So he realized his mistake and changed. So have other people. Anyone remember that California Democrat named Ronald Reagan?

Yes, Reagan was a Democrat. He also became strongly anti-communist when president of the SAG in 1950. He then openly supported and voted for Ike and never supported another Democrat. He campaigned for Nixon and Goldwater. He delivered the greatest conservative speech of all time in 1964, A Time For Choosing. He then served as the Republican governor of California. Afterwards, he wrote conservative newspaper columns and hosted conservative radio broadcasts.

Reagan’s conversion was complete decades before running for president and he had the bona fides to prove it.

Comparing Trump’s newfound “conservatism,”which occured conveniently when he decided to run for president, with Reagan’s is laughable.

I remember that by the time he ran for President he had served two terms as a conservative governor and delivered "A Time for Choosing", regarded as one of the most important American political speeches of the 20th Century, in support of Barry Goldwater.

Your guy has belonged to three different political parties in the last seven years. There's absolutely no comparison between Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan, who would never have considered giving campaign money to either Hillary Clinton or Rahm Emanuel. But nice try.
