“What about the times he (Trump) stood with the Left?”

That’s an easy question, we all make mistakes, we are all human, right? Betcha you’ve made about faces or drastic changes too.

Me, I’m an alcoholic, have not drank in over 30 years.

But we are talking famous people, so here are two good examples:

John Wayne started out as a communist.

Ronald Reagan started out as a democrat.

Further, Trump will occasionally take a democrats point of view, for two reasons, (1) they are not always wrong and (2) to come up with a good deal for all there occasionally needs to be a compromise.

I’ve never been against compromise as long as there is a net gain. With the RINO’s it’s perpetual loss, non-stop losing and traitoring.

Cruz would likely make a better prez, but he has a likability issue with the general public, and he does not go after the left like Trump does.

Very interesting -- and illuminating -- point of view.

An admission that Cruz is the better man for the job...

Coupled to reasons for dismissing that man which are invalid.

First, there is no evidence that Cruz has a "likability" problem with the electorate -- only assertions by the MSM that he has a "likability" problem with them.

Second, Cruz is currently running against other Republicans for the Republican nomination. He is not running against the left, so there is no need to attack the left. That can wait until the general election, when his foe will actually be the left.

If it was good enough for Ghandi, it’s good enough for Trump.
We run across the few naysayers who go ballistic and do little but call names over their notion that Donald Trump may have ever changed his mind on a given subject during nearly 70 years of life.

My Daddy used to say, “only a fool never changes his mind”.

Whatever you have decided Trump is, no one can say he is a ‘fool’. ANY one of us would trade places with that ‘fool’!

So, Trump changed his mind on abortion...so did Reagan and George HW BUSH....for Bush it was several times! Any one of us who says we think the same way we did when we were younger is, excuse me...a LIAR or a damn fool.

Winston Churchill said:
“If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”

Now, Churchill wasn’t talking about being 20 or 40, but the difference between being young or mature, with EXPERIENCE under your belt.

GHANDI said:

........I am not at all concerned with appearing to be consistent.......
In my search after Truth I have discarded many ideas and learnt many new things........
When anybody finds any inconsistency between any two writings of mine

if he has still faith in my sanity, he would do well to choose the later of the two on the same subject.

Now, flip flopping back and forth and refusing to address an issue during this primary season, is what Bush, Rubio, Clinton and Ted Cruz do, not Trump. Donald Trump doesn’t dodge questions, but answers PLAINLY and his consistency in his speeches and position papers is unmatched in this contest.
And he’s grown instead of selling out to the biggest bidder like ALL the rest! AND admits he’s learned! And I say, Hallelujah!

Started voting in 1964, never once voted dem.

Trump’s admonition on contributions, to me means he will not owe them or us any loyalty beyond our one vote. That may or may not turn out to be something most Trump supporters support now. He could be just the medicine America needs, then again he could end up with 180 million wanting his head.

The one thing in his background that impressed me was his growing up going to church listening to his pastor Norman Vincent Peel.

If he gets enough Primaries to get the nomination, he’s got my support.
