The conservative apologists for Donald Trump, and sadly there are some, protest that using his 1999 interview with the late Tim Russert, in which Trump vividly and unabashedly lays out his New York City liberalism, isn’t fair game given the time elapsed since then.
Fair enough. Being that it was sixteen years ago...

Anyone stupid enough to believe his primary positions (when he is saying what Republicans want to hear) over and above his unforced statements from the rest of his life is a fool.
Of course people change their mind. But when we do we can convincingly explain why we changed our mind. Trump has failed to explain his sudden conversion to... to whatever the heck he thinks he stands for now. It won’t be what he stands for once elected, you can take that to the bank.
Have you read what Trump said on these issues? Do you agree with his policy stance, or are you just whipped up into an emotional frenzy with the “make American great” rhetoric?
The stupid thing is, those of us most steadfast in our opposition to Trump (at least in my case) are not even Republicans. I’ve voted Constitution Party since 1992, as first preference. No point in throwing away my vote for liberal socialists. Of which Trump, for all his rancor, is still a solid example.
He’s just a populist, and by definition a populist is one who appeals to the people - the same people who elected Bush and Obama. So you are kidding yourself if you think you’ll get anything different. What is needed to fix Washington is, first, for the citizenry to be fixed, because that’s where the root problem is. Not getting angry about what they themselves have created.
articles for BOTH sides have been used SO MANY times, are you catching the ones you like also?
My first post in many years. I thought I searched it. It came back with nothing. I’ll have to figure out the search function. Thanks
THAT’S the problem. the millions coming over dont give a @#$@$# about our constitution.
that has to be stopped first somehow. media indoctrinates the kids with leftism.
i have no idea how to change the citizens.
why should we feel pity for western europe. their leaders aren’t dictators. they were voted in/
we’re both committing cultural suicide
Good Lord—what to believe, what to think, what to do?

Yeah we really need to focus on folks who haven’t voted republican (or democrat even) for 24 years. Like you say no need to change your voting habits just to defeat Hillary Clinton. What with that Constitution Party victory on the horizon.
Why
Let’s not forget that only a few weeks ago,Trump upset the whole apple cart.
Trump set the national agenda with illegal immigration and other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.
The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.
Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.
Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.
Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media has been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.
Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.
The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.
And we wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.
And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.
President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.
So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.
Wait a minute!
Are you telling me that Trump said stuff about something!?
That’s unbelievable, man!
You got to be kidding me though, dude is like Silent Bob only quieter.
Wherever can I go to read about what Trump said, it’s like no one ever even talks about that?
This country wants an emperor, and Trump fills that role better than anyone else.
No doubt he’s shaken things up big time. But every time I see him on TV he keeps saying how great it’s going to be, amazing, etc.
So when I go to look for specifics I keep turning up things that make him sound like he’s not a conservative at all.
Back in 2008 conservatives pointed to Obama’s record not matching his campaign rhetoric. He governed consistent with his record. Why should people think that’s not going to happen with Trump?
Cruzbots wanta Pope, and he fits that bill better than anyone else. Or should I say - a pastor?
