The endorsements keep coming in...
Perhaps Trump can run for the Democrat nomination when Hillary is indicted.
yeah the last thing we want is to have people crossing over and voting for the Republican.
Keep digging.
You might be on to something!

2004 to Wolf Blitzer: ....”Well, you’d be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as a Democrat,” said Trump at the time. “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans,” he added. In 2007, he said that Hillary would be a good person to negotiate with the Iranians since she’s “always surrounded herself with very good people.” He also said Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney would be good negotiators as well.
As for the Second Amendment, abortion, and health care, Mr. Trump was decidedly on the progressive side of things. Favoring a pro-choice position, a ban on assault weapons, and supportive universal health care.”

“Well, if I ever ran for office, I’d do better as a Democrat than as a Republican,” Donald Trump told Playboy in 1990. “And that’s not because I’d be more liberal, because I’m conservative. But the working guy would elect me. He likes me.”
“..These weren’t centrist or conservative Democrats, either. The recipients of Trump’s largesse, as The Washington Post noted in 2011, made a veritable “Republican enemies list.” Besides Reid and Schumer, it included John Kerry, Charles Rangel, Edward M. Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton.
Trump gave over $100,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and to its Democratic counterpart over in the House. All during this time, he gave to Republicans, too-just not as much. According to F.E.C. records, Trump donated $1.3 million between 1989 and 2011, 54 percent of it going to Democrats. Since 2012, however, federal records show that Trump has given $463,450 to Republicans and only $3,500 to Democrats. Why the change in orientation? Trump himself is incoherent on this question, but a few theories spring to mind.
The first one can be called the Rachel Dolezal school of political identity: Trump is a Republican because, well, he just feels like being one for a while. This explanation is belied by how much affinity he expresses for Democrats. Trump donated $50,000 to Rahm Emanuel’s mayoral campaign, and as recently as three weeks ago he fawned over the mayor and one of his brothers, film actor-and Democratic Party fundraiser-Ari Emanuel.
“I gave him a contribution because his brother is a great friend of mine,” Trump said. “Ari, king of Hollywood. I love Ari. And Ari asked me to give him a contribution. I like Rahm very much.”...
“... [Hillary] wasn’t the only Democratic beneficiary of Trump’s wealth. Trump donated $5,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and $20,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the 2006 cycle, effectively buoying the election prospects of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, respectively...”

Gotta hand it to Cruz — he woke up New York, and that’s good for America. For patriotism and conservatism.
Might not help Cruz, but it was downright statesmanlike of him.
And Trump had no choice but to remind everyone that New Yorkers woke up on 9-11. They have a very long way to go, but at least one New York fixture, Trump, had transformed from that day.
One man wakes them up and another instills pride.
Excellent!

This video shows why the tens of millions of Trump supporters like him. Trump talks to people like he’s in their living room. Others lecture and talk *at* people in a patronizing way.

It’s interesting that when liberals take up the “New York values” shibboleth, they seem to forget the armies of homeless defecating in the street, thanks to deblasio’s change in the law, the crime spike following the law eliminating stop ‘n frisk, Bob Durst, deblasio partying in Gracie as the homeless die, gun laws outlawing more than 7 rounds followed by changing that law so cops can carry their guns, cops being slaughtered while deblasio cheers, mayor’s kids attending premium schools while charter schools eliminated, Charles Barron; geez, where to stop?
Trump might bring in the Democrat vote... isn’t that what the GOPe is always harping about? How they want people to ‘expand the tent’? Now that it’s happening in a real way they don’t like it.
Trump WILL bring in the Reagan Democrats... it’s a good thing...
