Donald Trump Twice Dumped Republican Party
The Smoking Gun ^ | 8/6/2015 | The Smoking Gun

Posted on 01/21/2016 5:47:21 PM PST by HoosierWordsmith

Here is a history of Trump’s voter registration since 1987:

* JULY 1987: Trump registers for the first time from his Fifth Avenue penthouse. The real estate developer, 41 at the time, reports having previously been registered from his boyhood home in Queens (though his prior party affiliation is unclear). Trump enrolls as a REPUBLICAN.

* OCTOBER 1999: Trump dumps the GOP and enrolls as a member of the INDEPENDENCE PARTY.

* AUGUST 2001: Trump enrolls as a DEMOCRAT.

* SEPTEMBER 2009: After eight years as a Democrat, Trump returns to the REPUBLICAN PARTY.

* DECEMBER 2011: Trump lasts two years before he again abandons the party of Ronald Reagan. He eschews the GOP in favor of siding with no party. On his registration form, “The Apprentice” star checks off the box marked “I DO NOT WISH TO ENROLL IN A PARTY.”

* APRIL 2012: Trump registers as a REPUBLICAN.

I’ve left the republicans and come back any number of times. I started as a democrat, and I’ve never gone back there. I normally go independent. That’s actually where I’m at right now.

No worries. The Republican party has dumped on us so many times, I've lost count. The Republican party is NOT worth defending.

Trump doesn't owe the party his allegiance, in fact, they don't deserve it.

Franklin Graham recently dumped the GOP.

What exactly has the GOP done for you?

Twice dumped the Republican Party? That is all? I’ve contemplated that myself more than twice per year. The Republican Party has dumped all of us since the last election.

There is nothing sacred about Paul Ryan, McConnell, Boehner, Rove, George Will, etc.

I registered in 2008 as a democrat so I could vote against Hillary. By the time the voting comes to the Pacific Northwest it’s a done deal anywy. I finally switched back in anticiption of the coming primary.

Besides that, how many of us haven’t thought about leaving the GOP and telling them what they can do with themselves?

I quit the Republican Party for a while in the 90s. And I was ready to again if they screwed us this time around.

“Yep, and the Mexicans will pay for it.”

And, has the Donald ever said specifically how he will leverage this payment for the “Trump Wall”? It’s all Trump Bravado...Obi Wan Kebobi mind tricks!

You probably didn’t notice, the differences between the two beltway parties became inconsequential. It’s what brought us the Trump political revolution.

Learn it.
