"What stances? I'm just curious, not doubting you. However, if it was merely a vague statement by Trump, that helps explain why he has the poll numbers. He is appealing to a broad cross section of the electorate, especially when espoused on television where most of the "ill-informed" form their opinions of the candidates.

BTW, not a Trump supporter nor anyone else at the moment."

Understood.

He was interviewed on "Morning Joe" and he didn't specify which stances.

Trump: I Identify With Some Things As A Democrat

I completely agree with you that some liberals like Trump. I've seen it here on the forum, with their support for Obamacare and their dismissal of abortion and social issues.

I would respond that's not the kind of support we need nor the candidate we need. Romney won the mushy middle and look what it got him. The conservative base stayed home, and we need to make sure they turn out this time.

Ted Cruz will never garner the liberal vote by confessing his own liberalism. What has happened, and is happening, though, is the same thing that occurred in 1980. Cruz is out in the grassroots explaining why conservatism is the tide that lifts all boats, and as a result, some Reagan Democrat types have put their support behind him.

Reagan Democrats...the term came into being because the Gipper did the very same thing to bring more conservative-leaning Dems into the tent. We don't need liberal support, because when we have that, it's proof we have a liberal candidate.
