Donald Trump's personal political fortunes were put ahead of his country but now we are to believe that he will put the country's interests ahead of his own?
What fools we be.

My Dear Fellow Americans, I have wondered for years what is happening to our country. It seems both parties are not speaking to the issues eroding America’s Sovereignty.
With the current revelations about Sen. Marco Rubio and the “Gang of Eight” doing the biding of Globalists, it now becomes clearer to me what has been happening. America is being “bamboozled” by both parties. They will do anything to keep power. They pander to conservative or liberal values but in reality it is just a “three card monte” perpetrated on the American people to distract them from the real game being played.
America is being sold into globalism. I am not a conspiracy theorist per se, but I must say nothing else explains what has happened to our country. Nothing else explains how both the House and Senate under GOP control has not really moved the needle. Have you ever thought why?
With conservatives in charge of the House and Senate nothing gets done. Oh I know we get fed the usual steaming pile of horseshit, but have you ever wondered why? Why do you not hear real outrage from the GOPabout the trade deficit? We hear them scream about how the debt is 19 trillion dollars and we hear how unless the GOP gets in power it will keep going up. But why have we not heard about the effect the trade deals have on our country? Instead we hear about another trade deal, TPP .

Yes it’s amazing how, for years, most people - myself included - were only seeing part of the picture. We viewed the political landscape as a battle between liberals and conservatives, and missed the existence of a third force in the equation.
Understanding the existence of the Uniparty, an informal but very real alliance of likeminded elitists who wield power at the highest levels, is the key that unlocks a true understanding of our country’s political landscape.
Does anyone know who coined the term ‘Uniparty’? I first started hearing it maybe two years ago. It’s amazing how one word and an understanding of its meaning can have the power to explain so much.
Cruz is making some missteps that have severely damaged his reputation (fake voter violation, Carson “exiting” the race, photoshopped Rubio picture). To some, it appears Cruz is already cooperating with Rubio, by tag-teaming during the debate and saying he supported Rubio over Trump in an interview following the debate.
Those incidents may not be enough for Cruz supporters to walk away, but they are all unforced taints to his credibility.
Dear God, Trump gave money to both parties, and also to Ted Cruz. He has supported liberals, as well as conservatives. Oh yeah, did I mention he and his dad were huge supporters of Ronald Reagan? You are so twisted. Trump’s donations were for business purposes. He has talked about that.
Same here. We finally got a bicameral majority. We thought we could badger Obama with conservative bills to sign on a daily basis, making him keep his veto pen warm and maybe (accidentally) signing a few into law. We all know how well that went. I don’t think the pubbies have made Obama blink even once.

Once that last nominee back in 2012 got the nomination, all talk about strengthening e-verify and tightening employment verification requirements went out of the window. He came to Florida making nice with Obama and talking etch-a-sketch on immigration.
So yes there are lots of suckers out there and anyone who believes anything that Obama loving, lying socialist Romney says, is the biggest sucker of them all.
“....That $100,000 gift from Trump to the Boehner-allied super PAC was twice as big as his next-biggest contributions. [Trump’s] given $50,000 .. to Karl Rove’s American Crossroads (2010) [and $50,000 to] the pro-Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Kentuckians for Strong Leadership (2013)...
And then Trump gave McConnell’s PAC another $10,000 in Nov 2014.
Blah, blah, blah. Take this to the Huffington Post or the Democratic Underground. I’m sure they will love it. Cruz gave $500,000 to Carly Fiorina’s campaign. Who gives a sh**?
Forgive me, I thought you might be at least academically interested in reality.
The proof is in the pudding.

cartoons are fun but to grown-ups facts are better.

Trump is learning as he campaigns.
Cruz is the smartest, fully informed on immigration and trade, married to a CFR member Goldman Sachs executive in the globalist camp. Cruz has played America just like Rubio.
When Donald Trump flip-flops across the board on every core issue that defines conservatism and upon which he is now running and cozies up and even finances McConnell, Pelosi and God knows who else, we say he has "matured."
Do you suppose the Democrat voters will be as gullible as Republicans?
or, what is perceived as pernicious globalism is actually historical change born of growth in much of the world outside the author’s very narrow field of view.
WW II and the aftermath made America great but that was an artificially unsustainable position once the rest of the world managed to repopulate.
Sure I do, if the person explains why they changed their mind, and if the same standard is applied to everyone.
But I've never seen Trump explain why he supports a policy now that he declared "mean-spirited" in the last election, and it seems many Trump supporters disqualify others for having changed their positions on some issues.
And just so you don't waste you time, I don't think the argument that he was only a private citizens then matters. If anything, the lack of political pressure/motive means he had no reason. Not to be completely about what he thought back then.

There is a world of difference between a businessman making off-the-cuff comments on a subject as opposed to an elected representative casting informed VOTES on a bill. The comments are never designed to establish national policy, can never be remotely considered as such, but bills like TPA and the Corker bill affect the very destiny of the nation.
The betrayal and murder of America must not be any less complete than that of Germany. I don’t know why anyone expected it to be any different? Do they not know the Germans? Have they never been there? Do they not understand the similarities between American and Germany/Austria?
If you’ve never been there, let me assure you, there is no place on Earth more similar to America than Germany/Austria. Not Australia, not the UK, not anywhere! Germany is the U.S. of Europe.
The fate planned for you us is NO DIFFERENT.
