To eliminate the national debt, though.
Going back a decade, he also support strict border security, school choice, citizens opting out of social security, the death penalty, increasing military spending.
He does have a liberal streak, though, and there is no way I would support him over Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann or whatever purely conservative candidate is running.
But, I much prefer Trump to dishonest liberals like Mitt Romney. He is far better candidate than John McCain.
I would call directly advocating for a Canadian style single payer socialist health care system a little bit more than a "liberal streak". This is much more radical than what Obama pushed through and we fought that tooth and nail.

So now that the debt is 14 trillion what makes you think Trump wouldn't advocate a 14 trillion wealth surcharge to "eliminate the national debt"? Is that something you'd support? If so, there are a lot of progressives/socialists who would be glad to know their agenda has support on a forum like Free Republic.

How is it any less dishonest when Trump starts changing his past positions and statements now that he's considering running in the Republican primary? Like Romney, Trump used to be pro abortion - and now the both of them flip flopped and are supposedly pro life. Trump just 10 years ago gave a long interview to some gay magazine when he was thinking of running as a reform candidate. Back them he believed in a "very strong domestic partnership law" that would give gays effective marriage rights, now, he is against it. I just don't see how Trump is any less dishonest than Romney. They are both chameleons who say whatever they need to say to win.
