i am not certain that he is running as a republican because he suddenly is a conservative or that he didn’t think he could win if he ran as a Democrat.

Because all the Republicans in office since Reagan have been so clearly devoted to the tenets of Republicanism. And you think it's about a party label, and not what he has been clearly saying:

Take care of vets
Rebuild a strong military
Stop illegal immigration
Revise trade deals to favor America and stop us being robbed by other countries
Build a wall
Reform the Iran agreement and get rid of the TPP
Do not allow potential jihadists in without strong controls
Simplify the tax code and exempt low-earners completely
Stop corporations from leaving the U.S.
Invigorate the private sector so there will be more jobs
Cut unnecessary government regulation
Get rid of about half the Cabinet departments, including Education and EPA
Get rid of Common Core
Replace Obamacare

How are those things not conservative enough for you?

Because these are just words.....LOUD WORDS... but words. He has donated to the Clintons and had them at his wedding.... He has been a Democrat when it matched up with his goals and now is a Republican because it matches up with his goals(whatever that may be)

Back when Obama was running.... all people on FR hit him about his past and how relevant it was to predict his behavior as our future president.

For some reason the TRUMP fans all excuse his past with the democrat party like it has no relevance whatsoever with his behavior as our future president.

CNN LATE EDITION WITH WOLF BLITZER
Interview With Donald Trump
Aired March 21, 2004

BLITZER: Do you identify more as a Democrat or Republican? TRUMP: Well, you’d be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as Democrat. And I think you’d probably be shocked...

BLITZER: On social issues?

TRUMP: You know, it’s interesting, I’ve been now around long — you know, I think of myself as a young guy, but I’m not so young anymore. And I’ve been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.

Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...
