Trump is a democrat in a republican’s body

I like that...how about this one too: Trump is a liberal who has taken up residence in the heads of many gullible conservatives.....

More a populist than a liberal, both are just about as bad. Actually Trump is an anti-intellectual populist protectionist. Throw in a little cult of personality he's developed through years of doing realityTV and you've got Trump. A guy who can say things like this and be forgiven by the very same Trumpettes who would condemn any other candidate for uttering the same.

People see in Trump what they want to see, not what is there. His shtick is all about him, not about policies. Only HE can take on China, Mexico, Japan, etc. How? Never mind that, just trust that he's the ONLY one who can do it. Same with issue after issue. He claims to be able to do these things because ONLY he is qualified. He is a classic populist who is simply using the GOP infrastructure as a route to power.

Some of what he says is good and I agree with, but that is because he knows he has to appeal to conservatives/Republicans right now. He could be a totally different guy if he gets the nomination. You really can't know because the man is not grounded in conservative ideology.
