Well I think that he's sort of a guy that has just a wonderful personality, a good speaker, somebody that people trust."

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump praised president Obama in 2009 in his book Think Like A Champion and on CNN's Larry King Live.

Trump...wrote of Obama in his book, "What he has done is amazing." ...

Trump also wrote he thought Obama "has the mark of a strong leader" and said Obama's comments on the economy "have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level." ...

He has also surrounded himself with very competent people...

Well, if you care what Trump is saying now, at the end of July he told “Morning Joe” that some of his positions are those of a Democrat.

Does that matter to you?

Of course I realize it probably won’t. I’ve had a couple of Trump’s fans tell me they know he’s a Democrat, but maybe a Dem will do a better job for us.

Yup! It’s almost like, we have a lull in ‘racial tension’ or any other distraction that can pull headlines away from the Iran deal, the Korea situation (that’s calm now),Syria, etc. etc. so Trump is up there, providing ‘news fit to stalk’.

In June Cruz was campaigning for TPA. The conservative lion of the senate was enabling Obamatrade and other Obama secret “trade” deals.

Cruz still supports a massive increase in H-1B visas.

Does that matter to you?

So I guess you’re another one who’s fine with voting for a Democrat.

Got it. In your case, I’m not that surprised.

What is the point of all the opinion posts and articles slamming Trump? Those that say they will vote for the GOP candidate NO MATTER WHAT should be happy it is not “Paisley” or Jeb that is in the lead. Let the process play out, quit doing the job of the left media for them and simply discuss pro’s and con’s of each of the candidates. I swear that Republican voters are dumberer than a box of rocks. Is there not enough ammo against the entire D party, Bernie Sanders et al?

I just watched the Trump Press Conference today.

The one thing that will get overlooked is a reporter tried to “Paris Hilton” him.

Question: You say you love the Bible. Is there anyone in the Bible or story that you try to emulate (paraphrased).

Trump Answer: Evangelicals love me....leading in polls....I love the Bible....I love Evangelicals...I go to church.... Presbyterian......

He couldn’t even answer a simple question like that?

I agree with your assessment....all of it. I get it. It’s still dangerous...but I get it. Well, I get most of it. The hero deity worship thing I don’t really get, but the rest I do.

That’s Trump.

“I, I, I, me, me, me....”

And everyone LOVES him.

“Everybody loves me”

It’s certainly not my cup of tea, but it seems as though there are a boat load of people that like this sort of self promotion.

I don’t understand it.

He gave Republicans a bit more than democrats, all summed up. By the way, did you notice the dollar amounts?

I no longer care. It really can’t get much worse in my opinion. I’m tired of being lied to by election year ‘conservatives’.

If Trump lies saying he’s one or is a Republican (we all know they never lie to their voters) how am I supposed to be ticked off? I’m used to it by now.

And what is really sad is that at least LibDems, that lie a lot, tell me the truth about how they want to grow and control all government and thus the people.

Neither do I.

I would have thought gasbaggery was a general turn-off to just about everybody.
