I see a lot of the “I can’t vote for Trump because he is too low brow “ comments on another site I read.

It is just so amazing.People need to really read the history of US politics. The election on 1828 was so dirty that one of John Qunicy Adams committed suicide after been labeled a pimp for the Czar of Russia. Not to be out done Adams attacks on Jackson drove his wife insane.

Politics has always been dirty business. You either play to win or you don’t play. There is no high road

You are missing a noun. one of John Quincy Adams’ WHAT?

It wasn’t JQA himself, as he went on to a successful career in the HOuse.

Nice post.

We run across the few naysayers who go ballistic and do little but call names over their notion that Donald Trump may have ever changed his mind on a given subject during nearly 70 years of life.

My Daddy used to say, “only a fool never changes his mind”.

Whatever you have decided Trump is, no one can say he is a ‘fool’. ANY one of us would trade places with that ‘fool’!

So, Trump changed his mind on abortion...so did Reagan and George HW BUSH....for Bush it was several times! Any one of us who says we think the same way we did when we were younger is, excuse me...a LIAR or a damn fool.

Winston Churchill said:
“If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

Now, Churchill wasn’t talking about being 20 or 40, but the difference between being young or mature, with EXPERIENCE under your belt.

GHANDI said:

........”I am not at all concerned with appearing to be consistent.......
In my search after Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new things........
When anybody finds any inconsistency between any two writings of mine ...if he has still faith in my sanity, he would do well to choose the later of the two on the same subject.” MOHAN-MALA A Gandhian Rosary
Navajivan Publishing House

Now, flip flopping back and forth and refusing to address an issue during this primary season, is what Bush, Rubio, Clinton and Ted Cruz do, not Trump. Donald Trump doesn’t dodge questions, but answers PLAINLY and his consistency in his speeches and position papers is unmatched in this contest.

And he’s grown and learned during his life instead of selling out to the biggest bidder like ALL the rest! AND admits he’s learned better! And I say, Hallelujah!

If it was good enough for Ghandi, it’s good enough for Trump.
