Why a Donald Trump Presidency will Trump All (Some Dems have had enough of Zero)
Business Insider ^ | April 11, 2011 | Alan Dunn

Posted on 04/11/2011 1:01:24 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

When it comes to choosing political parties I have been Democrat since the time I was allowed to vote. My family has different party affiliations and the people in my life choose one party over the other for reasons of their own. Ultimately no one forced me to become a Democrat, it just happened.

Under George W. Bush the Republican Party reminded me of exactly why I choose to be Democrat yet the Obama presidency has left me to wonder why I choose any party at all.

Politics may be very well about choosing a side and making sure the stars line up to have your side collectively come to a decision but when it comes to getting things done we need someone who has experience on the street, after all how worse can things get?

When the Yankees are down 3-1 in the 9th inning you can bet a designated hitter may be called up. Well, we are down 16 Trillion dollars so don’t you think it’s time to vote someone in office who has a hit home run or two?

Donald Trump may not be the best candidate for president however do we need another politician in charge or someone who is actually aware of the financial mess America is in and has a personal interest in making the country whole again?

Some of the most successful political and global leaders in the world have all come from men and women with entrepreneurial backgrounds yet in America we hardly ever ask questions about a political candidate’s actual experience and vote based on how they make you smile, what party they are affiliated with and more unrelated factors to the actual ability of the person to do the job.....

Did you read your link?? It doesn't say what you claim it says. It says he switched from Republican and says he re-registered as a Republican, but it doesn't say when. Your claim it says he became a Republican again in one is fraudulent:

In 1999 he switched from Republican Party to the Reform Party and has switched back since then.

Nice credibility. You are digging a big hole for yourself.

"I'm very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better," Trump told Larry King on October 7, 1999. In his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, Trump wrote that America should "find an equivalent of the single-payer plan that is affordable, well-administered, and provides freedom of choice."

He went bankrupt at least once, around 1992. When his Father was alive, he had to bail him out at least once.

Seriousness With Which He Is Considering a Presidential Run:

1999:"I'm totally serious," he told ABC's Diane Sawyer on December 1, 1999. "I'm serious."

2012:"I'm totally being serious because I can't stand what's happening to the country," he told Fox News in October. "First time I am being serious about it."

So right there, he's admitted to lying about this once. He said he was serious in 1999, and then in 2010, he claimed he was serious for the first time then. He's a self-confessed liar, so I am not going to trust him. Have you ever heard the expression, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me?"

Amazing you are taking Rat talking points. It’s the reason why you didn’t link it. Don’t worry I did it for you below.

Nice to know you are working hand and hand with the other side. I should have known better.

Hey nick when you are quoting from liberal hacks sources it has zero credibility. They lie all the time in order to smear people. You should know better.

Unless you have the actual link to the video of Trump saying this... It has zero credibility.

It’s still amazing though if he did, how the hell did he get loans after that? Maybe he had collateral that was protected? I was looking at his portfolio the other day and couldn’t believe that amount of real estate this guy owns/runs. I don’t know about you, but if I ever claimed BR I wouldn’t be able to even get a loan for a freakin tricycle never mind a car, and then job opportunities, housing, they all do the freakin` credit checks. I thought about it claiming it a few times, but I always thought having “late payer” is a lot better than “bankruptcy” on my credit check.

So you are going to pretend Trump didn’t say everything he said. I saw the stuff in 2008 when he was bashing Republicans. I remember him saying he was pro-choice. You sent me a link to a completely unverified sight, and you lied about what it claimed and now you claim no other source is valid. You are willing to take anything Trump says as truth, even when it contradicts things he said before. Do you realize how gullible you are. At the end of the day, you have not a single shred of evidence that Trump is conservative. Come on, you must have more sense then that.

LOL!

You have no links to prove what you are saying is true, but it did come from a Rat source which you hid. That means zero credibility!

If you want to be credible then link it with the actual video. Until then you have not proved anything other than you hate Trump so much that you are willing to ally yourself with leftist sources in order to trash Trump.

So you lied and you are complaining about me? I don't hate Trump, but he has never claimed to be a conservative until last week and you think he's so great. I've just read about Trump over the course of the last 15 years, and I have been in the same room with him. I have total indifference to him, but I am not going to let him wake up on morning and decide he's going to tell everyone he is a conservative.

If he cares at all about Obama's BC, why hasn't he mentioned if for the last 5 years?

I lied by asking for actual links of what you accused Trump of saying 12 years ago??? You still have failed to provide them. I found the quote where you got it... From a Leftist paper that has zero credibility.

I don’t care if you were in the same room with him. What does that make you an expert on Trump? He has been a Republican for a long time with the exception of two years.

First, Obama has been President 2 years and no one knew who Obama was 5 years ago. You will have to ask Trump on the time frame?

To be frank, I was sick of hearing about it myself, and just wanted to see what people were talking about. This was about 1 year after Obama was in the White House. Guess what after I looked at the facts, then I realize there was truth to what was being said.

Now given the fact that Obama has spent over 2 million dollars to keep it a secret tells you everything you should know.

Prove he was a Republican except for two years. You showed me a link to a site you claimed said that, but it didn't say that. Please see your post #58. You pasted a link there, and the link does not say what you are claiming it says. His own people say he was registered as a Democrat between 2001 and September 2009.

Obama started running for president 5 years ago. Are you deliberately acting dumb? Trump NEVER cared about Obama's BC until last week. He didn't no Obama was president for the last 2 years?

Yeah but most of the country did not know who Obama was. Hillary was the favorite then.

Are you a Dem pretending to be a Republican. I called the spokesman and he said Trump reregistered as a Republican in September 2009 because the country was in such bad shape. But you can vote for whoever you want. I am a Ronald Reagan supporter. But it’s a free country, you don’t have to.

No that is you. Where do you get your liberal talking points from the White House????

You even debate like a liberal... You base your argument on what you heard instead of facts and logic. Just like a liberal. No links except to what other liberals that fear Trump have said (with no actual link). LOL!

Give it up you already lost the debate. Not going to waste time with someone that pull $hit out their A$$ just to throw mudd at Trump.

My bet is that you are an Obama supporter or that you are still in grade school.

When you learn how to debate

Is Donald Trump a Conservative? from Michelle Malkin's web site. (I know you are going to claim Michelle is a communist, but what can I do?)

Trump is some sort of “great Conservative hero” huh?

Care to explain these 2010 Campaign donations from Trump to Reid, Schumer, and Gilbrand etc?

Pay no attention to those! Anyone who criticizes Donald Trump is a liberal with no validity! Donald Trump is an always has been ultraconservative! If you criticize him, you have actually made the case he is conservative! Blah Blah Blah!
