Trump singing a different tune just a short while back. FLIP FLOP campaign conservative.

[Red Steel]

However she did get a just compensation offer for the place much more than it was worth.

“How does this Trump declaration in support of homosexuality and abortion square with the site owner’s views on conservative values?”

“does this Trump declaration”???

That has not been the Trump declaration for quite a time. Are you going to bar Jim from his own site?

[PROCON]

Welcome to the DU/FR merger.

You feel that way too?

The last 2 months we've been cutting each others throats.

If we Republicans keep up the in-fighting we're looking at President Hillary!

And it's only going to get worse.

[dem bums]

And this NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A CRUZ COMMERCIAL FOR IOWA. “If I lived in Iowa, perhaps my views would be different.”...straight out of DONALD’s mouth.

This interview was already made into an ad, months ago. Sadly, the ad was released by Jeb!!!!!!, so it got lost in his train wreck of a campaign, but it was actually a pretty well made ad:

“17 years ago. Trump has had journey. He has become conservative.”

When was that exactly?

It wasn’t when Trump was blaming Pam Geller for the attempted mass murder of her and the others for mocking mad mo by drawing cartoons of him.

[House Atreides]

Where is it allowed to have “eminent domain” in the US Constitution? Do you know?
..........................................................................................................................
In the 5th Amendment:

“...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
*******************************************************************************
The defenders of EMINENT DOMAIN FOR CRONIES like to ignore “public use” in that clause.

Travel back to 1999, when Trump was running for the seat at the head of the Reform Party as an Independent candidate. This was in the years after Ross Perot and it pitted Trump against the equally loud and politically difficult Pat Buchanan. You probably remember Buchanan as the candidate who garnered some meaningful votes in Florida because confused voters couldn’t read the ballots properly. That also means this story has a poor ending for Trump, but it might explain why we’re at this point in 2015 with a louder, more aggressive Trump.

Back during his 1999 bid, Trump is quoted as saying the following about the GOP and his opponent at the time, Pat Buchanan. Take this excerpt from the New York Times for example:

I really believe the Republicans are just too crazy right,” he said when he disclosed that he would register this week with the Independence Party, the New York version of the Reform Party. He said he would begin meeting with Reform Party officials in the next few months and make a final decision by March about whether to run.

Mr. Trump, who has never been a political candidate, clearly timed his announcement to target Mr. Buchanan, acidly denouncing him on the NBC News program ”Meet the Press” as the candidate of the ”really staunch right wacko vote.”

”Look, he’s a Hitler lover,” Mr. Trump said, alluding to the recent debate over Mr. Buchanan’s view that in World War II Hitler initially presented no serious threat to the United States.

”I guess he’s an anti-Semite,” Mr. Trump said, raising an accusation Mr. Buchanan has repeatedly denied in his career as White House strategist and talk show polemicist. ”He doesn’t like the blacks, he doesn’t like the gays,” Mr. Trump continued. ”It’s just incredible that anybody could embrace this guy.”

We’ll see. He deserves a fair look. Which he is NOT getting here.

“So a state filled with a majority of “good conservatives” repeatedly and overwhelmingly vote to put far Left Dems in office to rule over them? Hard to think of a statement more at odds with reality...”

Exhibit A: my state of Louisiana. Conservative, red state, voted in a liberal democrat governor. Reality. (Helped along by Bobby Jindal)

Trump has never been elected nor has big backer strings.

No, he's a self-admitted big backer who boasts of pulling other politicians strings with money and influence. He's a poster boy for crony capitalism.

[DB]

That isn’t the point and you know it.

So in your world, private property goes to the highest bidder whether the owner wants to sell it or not as long as it is fair market value, is that it? Really?

You really should think about that for a moment...

[dem bums]

Trump has never been elected nor has big backer strings. It’s a big advantage he is not a life politician. And actually anyone one of these candidates including Cruz can play the audience.

I didn't ask what he has done as a politician or elected office-holder to show that he is actually conservative. I asked what he has done, period, to show he is conservative.

Amendment 5 - Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings. Ratified
12/15/1791.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Your man Cruz assured a homosexual donor he would not fight gay marriage. And that was not 16 years ago.

Wow.

Donald Trump on Abortion

 

I am now pro-life; after years of being pro-choice:

 

Donald Trump shocked attendees at the conservative CPAC conference in February when he declared himself pro-life after years of supporting the pro-abortion position. Several months ago, when questioned about his position, Trump responded by saying the public "would be surprised" by his stance and, in an interview with Laura Ingraham from Fox News leading up to the conference, Trump characterized himself as "pro-life" and he repeated that apparent reversal when he told the audience at CPAC, "I am pro-life" and pledged to fight for the reversal of ObamaCare, which contains abortion funding loopholes.

As the 2012 race intensifies, pro-life advocates must call upon Donald Trump to further explain his stand on important pro-life issues like Supreme Court nominations and repeal of the pro-abortion Obama healthcare law.

I changed my views to pro-life based on personal stories:

Q: Evangelicals want to feel secure that they're going to have a nominee that's solid on those social issues.

A: One thing about me, I'm a very honorable guy. I'm pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the primary reasons I changed [was] a friend of mine's wife was pregnant, and he didn't really want the baby. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. And you know here's a baby that wasn't going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.

Q: So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?

A: They changed me. Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely.

I am pro-life; fight ObamaCare abortion funding:

Billionaire Donald Trump told the Conservative Political Action Conference that he's thinking about running for president. His remarks drew lots of applause and cheers from the crowd, who will play a key role in grass-roots organizing for the eventual 2012 GOP presidential nominee. "I'm well acquainted with winning," Trump said. "That's what this country needs now."

Personally, I find this approach much more honest and refreshing than someone who says "After we secure the border, we can have a conversation ..." In the meantime, just vote for me.

****************************************************************
I guess a “fair look” for Trump excludes HIS OWN WORDS?

[dynoman]

Check out post 10.

[Red Steel]

He’s been pretty honest about that, but he’s his own man here running for president. A big plus.

“Well, tune in to Hannity tonight and see what Cruz says!”

I heard what will occur today on the radio show. There is no debate tonight.

Exhibit A: my state of Louisiana. Conservative, red state, voted in a liberal democrat governor. Reality. (Helped along by Bobby Jindal)

Exhibit not responsive, sorry. I wrote "repeatedly and overwhelmingly vote to put far Left Dems in office to rule over them".
