Having anyone look at a professional entrepreneurs background looking for political stability is farcical at best.
Of course “the Donald” has said and done contradictory things! His business persona and fiduciary responsibility made him go with whatever he needed at the time to get the job done, or exhibit the image he needed, when necessary.
That said and done, he has done quite well for himself inside the Capitalist system. He has created many jobs, and his enterprises have generated untold millions in tax revenue, as opposed to just about any of the politicians attacking him from Washington, or highly intelligent writers comparing his past business actions and survival tactics with future political decisions.
Can “The Donald” make decisions...I’d say yes.
Does “The Donald” respect America...I’d say yes.
Has “The Donald” repeatedly, or ever, complained about the constraints of the Constitution, and the shortcomings of our forefathers creation...no, not so much.
Has “The Donald” gone out of his way to praise a Communist country with slave labor, implying America should be more like them...no, never.
Has “The Donald” ever bemoaned the fact he wasn’t president of that same Communist country, because it would be easier to get things done, (without free citizens)...no, never.
I posit we have never seen a political Donald Trump. We cannot use his past decisions in the private sector to judge him, except to determine whether he has the ability to collect, sort and absorb facts, and, along with his advisers, reach decisive, logical decisions.
From his past successes, I’d say yes.
Does his vast world-wide experience give him a sufficient worldview to run the worlds largest Capitalist system?
I’d say YES!
Putting Trump and obama side by side, is there any position, issue, or level of experience that obama has that comes near Trump’s?
I’d say, (EMPHATICALLY), NO!
We tried an inexperienced, American-values hating failure, This time, lets go with an experienced, American-values promoting success.
You Trumpsters are really embarrassing yourselves. Either that, or many people here singing the praises of Trump weren't really conservative in the first place.
Trump is NOT a conservative. He just isn't. His policy positions are much more progressive/left. Trump has advocated a complete government take over of health care in the form of a Canadian single payer socialist system, Trump has advocated for a 5.7 trillion dollar wealth surtax, Trump doesn't support Paul Ryan's plan - not because it doesn't go far enough, but because Trump thinks we shouldn't touch medicare and medicaid. The list goes on and on. Trump is NOT a conservative.
Why is anyone on a conservative forum supporting a candidate that is not in any way a conservative? Trump has zero track record of supporting ideologically conservative positions, he gives huge amounts of money to Democrats, he is best friends with folks like Chuckie Schumer, his crowd is northeastern liberals. Trump is not in any way, shape or form a conservative.
I am beginning to think that if uber-progressive Ed Schultz latched onto the birther stuff and wanted to run for President that he'd actually get support here. Nevermind that he isn't in any way conservative, just so long as spends oodles of time on an issue that will have absolutely no impact on the 2012 election.
