Trump Flashback: Reagan Was A "Con" Man Who Couldn’t "Deliver The Goods"

Anyone shocked? Me neither.

Furthermore, are you shocked that on Hannity the other night, Trump expressed how much he liked Reagan. Below the video, you will see an excerpt from his 1989 book, Art of the Deal.

I keep visualizing Trump saying “Hillary, you are fired”

Are you kidding me? With Donald Trump, you're more likely to hear, "Hillary, you're hired."

He does, but I really do belive he’s a Patriot, albeit an egotistical one.

What IS YOUR AGENDA IN TRYING TO SMEAR AND ASTROTURF and SHUT UP TRUMP.

Trump blew the lid off the scandals and open the door for Palin and Bachmann to attack too.

And we THANK him for his service to our country. We just don't want him to be our president, or to screw up the election chances of a good conservative.

Get on the same page with the rest of us, already.

Do you like that he has openly campaigned for national health care?
Do you like that he admires Nancy Pelosi except for her decision not to impeach Bush?
Do you like his donations to the most liberal, with nary a donation to the TEA party effort or any conservatives?

Just wondering.......

The “Sarah or Bust” attitude at FR is going to rip this entire place apart. We have GOT to stop this.

Get bent. You don't like that this place supports Palin (by a wide margin), then go somewhere else.

They don’t like him at DU...can’t be all that liberal.

Lemme see... he donated to Rahm Emanuel's campaign just months ago. He also donated to Charlie Crist, Chuckie Shumer, and Hillary.

Yeah....."he can't be all that liberal."

That’s fine, support her. Just don’t delude yourself into thinking she can beat Obama.

She has very high negatives. I sincerely want to know how she’s going to overcome them.

If she is the nominee I’ll eagerly support her.

If she actually beats Obama I’ll run through the streets naked.

It’s business.

Not saying I like it, but it’s business. Almost all large CEO types donate to both sides.

Since Trump’s buildings are mostly in left-leaning areas, that’s naturally what you’ll see.

He did donate to Tom Coburn and George Allen, however.

I just hope you remember that FR posts are forever. I think me and several others are going to hold you to that.

You're becoming a Trump apologist. Trump doesn't pass the smell test of any real conservative, and is nothing more than a sideshow promoter to most of us.

He's doing a great service to this country by taking Obama to the woodshed in the national media, but he's not qualified in any way to be our nominee.

There's no way in hell that the center-right base is going to support this guy after all of the revelations about him. It's not only his financial support of liberals, he's also taken decidedly liberal positions in the past, and has said glowing things about the enemy.

You want to support someone for president who thinks universal health care is a swell idea? Whoa....

I’m primarily a Herman Cain supporter, actually.

I’m still hoping he gains steam. Until then I’m enjoying The Donald’s presence.

Many large businesspeople DO donate to both parties - look at newsmeat.com, it’s all out there, not just Trump, and usually has to do with keeping a target off their backs. A sad commentary on the relationship between business and politics, unfortunately. Pay to play.

Herman Cain is an exception to that though - I looked.

They don't like Lieberman either and he's as liberal as they come. I automatically dislike anyone with a "D" behind his name, I'm sure they feel the same way about someone who puts an "R" behind his name.

Trump supported Hillary, John Kerry and that racist congressman from Harlam, Charlie Rangle. What more do I need to know about him?

He's also a very recent "convert" to pro life. Sounds a lot like Romney to me.

I love Herman Cain, too, but he's not going anywhere. He'd already have to be a household name to have any kind of chance at the nomination.

He tried to run for Congress a few years back and failed to win election. Now he wants to try for the big house.

Personally, I think that's illogical, but it's his life, and he's as free as any other constitutionally qualified American to run for that office.

“Trump must go even if it cost us the election.”

So you’d rather have another four years of 0 than Trump?

As flawed as he is, Trump is superior to 0bama. What benefit do you see in having an eight year reign for 0bama?

You are bang on. My spidey-sense is off the charts. When people started putting out that the reason zero wouldn’t put out his lfbc was that he would put it out at the end I thought that was ridiculous. My thought was that with all the alternative media you couldn’t control the narrative. You couldn’t count on things breaking your way. Now I’m almost sure this it what is going to happen. And no matter how poor a forgery it is our pravda will accept it and give short shrift to anything else and pound on anyone who disputes. Palin wasn’t so stupid after all, was she.
