I think it is interesting that Trump was a Democrat from 2001 till 2009
He hasn’t said much lately but he clearly hated GW Bush He blamed GW for the war (no credit for winning with the surge)
He blamed Bush for everything (as all good liberals did) and even blamed him Obamas election.
I see him as an opportunist in the worst possible way ...becoming Republican only when he was enthralled with his own political prospects
I read many times over the years the same exact thing coming from the mouthes of conservatives on this site, so I don't really see your point.
....”I see him as an opportunist in the worst possible way ...becoming Republican only when he was enthralled with his own political prospects.”........
Well that’s exactly right as I see it as well. He has nothing at all to lose for he’s accomplished already lifting his Brand.....as his daughter said....”The Trump Brand will now be in every household” ....(on New Years Eve).....even if he lost this he’ll glean much from the exposure....and has.
What else was he going to do with his life.....he’s handed the business over to his kids to operate....so this run is just an opportunity to put a notch in his belt and go out in glory.
I think he sees the Presidency like a CEO and he will run it that way if he wins....or try. and that will be a disaster.
