Let's recall that in 2012 he was saying Mitt Romney was “too mean†on the issue of immigration....Also we know he has supported an assault weapons ban, abortion, gay marriage, amnesty and Hillary Clinton in the not distant past...and He STILL supports raising taxes, eminent domain, and legalization of narcotics, not to mention He's on record as saying we must have universal healthcare...... Those are very liberal things last I checked...
Additionally Trump has now an established pattern when called on what he says.......and many of his supporters follow suite...so he's predictable at this point in his campaign....this is what it sounds and looks like:
...Trump says or tweets or re-tweets something that could be perceived as an outrageous thing. (Keep the media engaged)
....As follow up...Dominate the next news cycle. (face time good or bad)
....Then attack the media that focus on the outrageous statement...or/and in certain cases an individual. (Blame someone else)
....Followed by Backtracking and making claims of being misinterpreted and how "unfair" he's being treated to garner public sympathy. ( a form of manipulation).
....Sustain polling advantage. (He needs to 'feel' he's winning)
Frankly those tactics 'sound' and 'look' pretty liberal to me...as does his history.
I’m going by what he has said and written about, since 2011.
I’m going with the successful businessman, over career politicians/government employees.
Has your guy ever owned/operated a PRIVATE business and had to personally make payroll for thousands?
I’m going with Trump as a conservative...fighting for things conservatives have been begging someone to fight for, and that JimRob sees as conservative...and who has brought the things CONSERVATIVES believe in....like deporting illegals, building the dang Trump Wall, being the first candidate to use the term radical islamics, and on and on...to the forefront.
I used to be a Cruz supporter. He lost me at TPA and refusing to say the word deport. I don’t like his connections with amnesty/cheap labor donors. He’s a Junior Senator with only THREE years in the Senate. I know all about the other government jobs he’s held. Big deal. I’m tired of DC/Government/Politicians thinking they know what’s best for me.
We the People have a voice in Trump. He’s fighting for our country...a country he dearly and deeply loves. A career politician has no other thing to aspire to than to run for his same office, or for President. Trump doesn’t NEED to be President.
Are you ever going to give me links to back up your statement that Cruz has counseled Trump on several topics? I’m still wondering what it is that Cruz has counseled Trump about.
