“...brilliant rendition as a republican Music man, con man.”

He is definitely a self promoter and his current positions are not entirely consistent with prior public statements. I personally prefer Cruz at this point. That being said, Trump is a businessman, a very smart businessman who knows how to close the deal and get things done.

He says he has evolved on a number of issues important to conservatives. I think we need to seriously consider taking him at his word. But I think if he is only taking these positions to bolster his popularity with conservatives, his record needs to be examined to see whether he kept his word on business deals. I don’t know the answer there. Some have tried to tie his companies that went bankrupt to his personal integrity. That is not a fair analogy - businesses take risks, some win and some lose. I don’t believe there are examples of him taking someone’s money on promises to do one thing and then doing something totally different with their money, or that would have been used against him already.

There are lots of issues to consider for all the candidates. I have trouble with several Trump positions (e.g., eminent domain for private development...) - so will have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of a Trump candidacy. He is looking to be treated fairly - and as a smart businessman if treated fairly and ultimately seeing he will lose, he will likely cut his losses. But if not taken seriously, he can do ultimate damage and Perot the election.

If Trump or Cruz can win.. the voter fraud may make it impossible for either of them to win.. like 2012..

Hopefully not BUT it’s LOOMING...

If any thinks the democrats are NOT preparing as we post to perform a fraudulent election(again) their delusional..

The republicans did ZERO about it last time..
Little wonder with Boehner and McConnell at the helm..

Don’t think the dumbocrats didn’t notice either...
Their crazy but NOT Stupid..

Honest Voting could be and probably is a think for yester-year..
A known collaborator HAPPY to be complicit with the democrats selected in 2012(Romney) was no accident..

I guess you MUST be a conniving SOB to be successful in Massachusetts..
No doubt in my mind Trump.. is a Master Conniver.. the connivers GURU..

If we didn’t have Ted Cruz I might consider Trump...
BUT alas; WE DO... would be like being forced to vote for BUSH Jr.. Sr. or Jeb Clampett..
