According to the Clinton Foundation itself, Trump donated at least $100,000 to it, and openly admitted to donating to Democrats; it benefited him financially -- that is, advancing the cause of tyranny and harming the cause of liberty aided his own financial gain (and presumably that of his stockholders; aiding profits "trumped" protecting liberty, plain and simple.
According to the article linked above, "Trump donated $5,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and $20,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the 2006 cycle, effectively buoying the election prospects of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, respectively. Just $1,000 of Trump's money in the 2006 cycle went to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
The all-important 2006 cycle. But then, Trump was a registered Democrat in those days.
Trump was registered as a Republican from 1987 until 1999, when he switched to Independent, then registered as a Democratin 2001 and remained in that party until 2009, when he switched again to Republican.
B-b-b-b-but Reagan was once a Democrat, too!! Right?
Well, yeah, from about 1945 to 1962; by the time he ran for President and won in 1980, he'd already served as a Republican Governor for California and had been a Republican for 18 years.
Trump's actual actions and history show that a) he's only been a Republican this time for six years, and b) he's STILL even self-admittedly, as of July 14 of this year, "I identify with some things as a Democrat."
Reagan, on the other hand, stood strong in his rejection of the Democrat party after his switch, and was famous for saying, "I didn't leave the Democrat party, it left me."
It's one reason why when people compare Trump to Reagan, I can only shake my head in despair.
Reagan isn’t on the ballot.
Of the options we have, I’ll take Trump.
Reagan changed in a five year period when he was SAG president.
I am unconcerned about donations, which are bribes businessmen pay to those in power. I do think Trump has undergone a virtual conversion in the last year, and as one position became clear (immigration) it began to spill over to national defense, guns, etc. there is no way of proving this.
What we can prove is that so far ALL the existing candidates save Carson and Fiorina have in their bites already let us diwn.
Shake your head in despair then but not for what you perceive people believe but what you think they believe. Clearly, the problem is not with conservatives that choose Tromp, the problem is in your head.
Your problem is you believe you’re better than millions of others when it is evident you’re deficient.
Here’s an example from your post #96:
“There is also ample proof that Trump has a history of leaning moderate to left. But you can skip it if you choose.”
No, there isn’t ample proof and you’ve provided zilch to back up your BS.
Here’s the kind of crap you believe:
“Trump said, “Oh, I would certainly implement that, absolutely,†and that’s how they report that Trump “demands a database and registration for all Muslims,†when he didn’t say it! He never said it. It’s a Journalism 101 trick. It’s right out of the manual they teach you at the first year of journalism school in how to destroy political opponents or powerful people you don’t like. It’s that common a technique.”
That makes you a fool. Let’s emphasize that fact, you are a F-O-O-L for believing what the liberal media says about Donald Trump. You’re the kind of sucker they feed on.
