Imagine If Donald Trump Ran As A Democrat - It's Not Too Hard To Do

Others, including myself, have made a similar argument.

Donald Trump is a Big Government liberal.

But ALL of this is "old news" to many of his supporters who don't care and fervently cheer him on.

So I must conclude that they're Big Government advocates too.

You’ve never changed, politically? I sure did. I was once a very liberal guy. Then, I saw liberal policies didn’t work — and furthermore, the left got more and more unhinged.

So I can change. Others can change. Perhaps even you can change.

But Donald Trump?

He can never change. It’s in the TDS handbook.

Thanks for the good post. Will the republicans following him be able to accept the truth?

[Berlin_Freeper]

OH!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The point is, he hasn't changed.

"I am going to take care of everybody," Trump said on "60 Minutes" in September. "I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now."

So you want him to take care of you?

Once you have a “R” next to your name, liberals will hate your forever. You’re forever a racist, a bigot, a sexist, a homophobe, and a xenophobe. Trump can never hope to get a single lib vote.

Trump can beat Hillary. No one else can, because of the absolute brainwashing of liberal women into total mouth-breathing zombies.

Hillary is the end of America. If she gets her way, she’d be the end of all human life on the planet Earth.

Therefore, Trump is it.

Okay. So why didn't he do it?

Well, Trump started out as a "D," then was an "R," then went "Reform," then was a "D," then was a "R," then was an "I," - currently a "R."

So, as Hillary would say, "What difference does it make!?"

You know how hard we all worked to reveal the truth about Obama as he ran....yet his supporters were on the same sort of Hype and it didn't matter what Obama had said or done before his run....and they said so. So have Trumps supporters regarding his history.... They don't care about his past and they're willing to "risk" that trump won't fail them....how do they measure that????

The thing which concerns me is that many voters will cast their votes to get the "reality" that they want.... instead Trump will continue to pander to those desires even if in the end it means a grimmer outcome then what they hoped.

The big problem is that we have no record on which to judge Trump on what he says Now...... He has never held political office, has never been a major contributor to pro-rights efforts, and has never used his power and influence to advance the debate on rights issues..........we have nothing but his statements .... which have changed over the years. That’s not all that reassuring.

And Trump has no shame.

It must be pointed out that Donald Trump continued to support Hillary Clinton after Benghazi.

Nov 11, 2012 Benghazi attack

"In 2012, as Obama was running for re-election, Trump called Clinton "terrific" again in an interview with Fox News, saying she performed well as Secretary of State."....

July 15, 2015: Donald Trump" .."When I needed Hillary, she was there."...

Dec 9, 2015: Hillary Clinton's most repugnant lie

"The lie's even in her words at the Sept. 14 [2012] ceremony: "We've seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with."

Dec 9, 2015: Email Released by Judicial Watch Shows Military Forces Were Immediately Ready To Move Night of Benghazi

"....It should be noted that at least one survivor of the attack waited for 20 hours on top of a roof before the assault was over and before help arrived..."

But....

July 15, 2015: Donald Trump" .."When I needed Hillary, she was there."...

But Donald Trump?

Too many too recently with no consistent record of actions according to said converted preferences with which to demonstrate credibility. Reagan had been a Democrat too, but spent decades writing and taking actions otherwise, including as governor of California. Trump has no such record. It is therefore reasonable to question his sincerity.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Don’t get discouraged, just keep speaking the truth. Good job!!!

[Olog-hai]

Doesn’t help Weinstein. Makes him sound more like the GOP-e chorus, who supports all of those liberal things themselves.

I was once a very liberal guy

I actually voted for George McGovern!

The stupidest thing I ever did.. :-)

Another piece just out today:

Is Trump a Democrat?

"From The Hill last July:

"I probably identify more as a Democrat" so sayeth Donald J Trump a few years ago during a CNN interview. During the same interview he opinionated (he does a lot of that) that "It just seems that the economy does better under Democrats than the Republicans". He confirmed his views just a few months ago on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" when he said 'I identify with some things as a Democrat."

Further back, he proclaimed Republicans "too crazy right."

These are not just one-time gaffes since he had practiced what he has preached since that interview. Is Trump a crypto-Democrat?

He certainly has put his money where his mouth has been. Democrats have been the primary beneficiaries of his political donations until a few years ago when he started giving to Republicans. (See below.)

He has had high praise for the Clintons and opened his wallet to them.

In 2007, Hillary Clinton was on course to build support for her presidential run and he expressed confidence in her talents: "Hillary's always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job" when predicting she would make a good deal with Iran. She was, Donald said, a "terrific woman."

As Ariel Cohen writes in the Washington Examiner, "Trump and the Clintons have a cozy past":..............." [much more at source]
