Nobody cares about Trump’s dating history, unless it involves “dating” while married and “dating” married women. All of which he has done.
Flip-Flopped on Legal Immigration:
Townhallâs Guy Benson: âCruz has flip-flopped dramatically on a number of his previous immigration views.â
âIn response, Rubio charged that Cruz supported mass legalization of illegal immigrants and proposed huge increases in federal issuance of certain immigration visas and green cards. Cruz shook his head throughout Rubioâs rejoinder, but Rubio was correct on these points. Cruz has flip-flopped dramatically on a number of his previous immigration views. The Texan shot back, âit is not accurate, what he just said, that I supported legalization.â Sorry, Senator. Itâs on tape.â (Townhall, Guy Benson, 12/16/15)
Flip-Flopped on H-1B Visas:
In an election year, Cruz said âhe would suspend the H-1B program.â
âCruz said he would suspend the H-1B program for 180 days while he audited the system for abuses, abandoning his prior support for a 500% increase in the high-tech program.â (CNN, 11/13/15)
âCruz sharply distanced himself from his long-held plan to increase the number of visas for high-tech workers by 500%.â
âA month prior, Cruz sharply distanced himself from his long-held plan to increase the number of visas for high-tech workers by 500%. Under fire from conservative talk radio hosts who said he was imperiling American workers, Cruz said he would suspend the program for 180 days until it could be reformed to his liking.â (CNN, 12/1/7/15)
In 2013, Senator Cruz offered an amendment that would increase the H-1B Visa program from 65,000 to 325,000.
âDuring the 2013 immigration debate, the Texas senator proposed an amendment to the comprehensive âgang of eightâ Senate bill that he boasted would âdramatically increas[e]â the annual limit on H-1B skilled guest worker visasâfrom 65,000 to 325,000âa five-fold expansion.â (Bloomberg, 8/20/15)
Flip-Flopped on Birthright Citizenship:
Cruzâs birthright citizenship position is âthe product of a flip-flop that is a couple of years old.â
âPost-Trump, Cruz has highlighted his opposition to birthright citizenship, itself the product of a flip-flop that is a couple of years old.â (Washington Examiner, 11/19/15)
CNN: âDespite his grounding in the grass-roots, Cruz has had to quickly react at times to Trumpâs envelope-pushing brand of conservatism, such as when Cruz quickly agreed this summer with Trumpâs new position to end birthright citizenship, despite previous questions the Texan posed about its constitutionality.â (CNN, 12/1/7/15)
Flip-Flopped on Mass Deportation:
In September 2013, Cruz ânoted that he had not called for deportation.â
âCruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation.â (NYT/Texas Tribune, 9/13/13)
Now, âover the past few weeks,â Cruz âhas specifically endorsed deportations after months of resisting.â
âCruz, who over the past few weeks has specifically endorsed deportations after months of resisting, said in an interview that aired Sunday on âState of the Unionâ that the U.S. should catch those who came here illegally under normal law enforcement practices, not through round-ups of the estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S.â (CNN, 1/10/16)
In January 2016, Cruz said that like Donald Trump he does âabsolutelyâ support deportation of all illegal immigrants.
âTed Cruz said during an appearance in Iowa on Monday that thereâs a difference between him and Donald Trump on immigration. The Texas senator, who is leading the field of Republican presidential candidates in Iowa according to the latest polls, was asked by a man in the state if, like Trump, he believed that all undocumented immigrants should be deported. Cruz replied, âAbsolutely yes.â âAnd in fact, look, thereâs a difference,â said Cruz. âHeâs advocated allowing folks to come back in and become citizens. I oppose that.ââ (BuzzFeed, 1/5/16)
It was Trump who defended Clinton, not me. I’m not the one who said Clinton’s behavior was “unimportant.” Trump said that.
Trump was dating while married. Conservatives, especially Christians, considered that taboo until recently.
Actually, for a while I saw Donna Rice in some infomercials promoting some kind of pills or juice. It looked like it was a small business operation of her husband’s. She hadn’t aged well.
I am never on time on these threads...(sigh),.,.
Have you ever heard of Christy Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, etc
They were models....
They modeled for fashion houses, or commercial advertisements
That’s exectly what Melania was doing before she met Trump and became wife and mother.
Get lost. You don’t know me and you never will. My colorful language is nothing compared to your sanctimonious chickenshit.
Trump also wrote in "Think Big and Kick Ass" that he's been with married women: 'Beautiful, famous, successful, married, I've had them all, secretly, the world's biggest names."He has betrayed his wives and the husbands of other women, secretly.
What do you think he is capable of doing to you, secretly?
I wouldn’t trust him to do anything that is a matter of character.
Trump seems to have very good relations with his exes. Hell, Ivana invited him to her wedding. And he went.
And all the kids appear to be professional overachievers. Not your typical “rich kids” running around like Paris Hilton and others of the like.
Donald loves his kids and they love him. No deadbeat dad there.
And his statement that he’s been with: “’Beautiful, famous, successful, married, I’ve had them all, secretly, the world’s biggest names.” Is this a good standard or what we’d want in a president? And how really is he different than Bill Clinton?
Political donations from business people at that level tend to be spread among both parties.
He might even have donated to Ed Koch. You know, the democrat mayor of NYC. Think they were best buds? In “Art of the Deal” Trump called Koch corrupt and incompetent.
Trump viewed political donations as a waste mostly. But you do it when you have to deal with political parties to get jobs done. That’s how the game is played unfortunately, and Trump has said on the campaign trail he knows how the game is played, and that that is part of the problem when you want to get things done.

Yes. If your spouse punches you in the face every day, most normal people would divorce that spouse. If they could afford it.
Los Angeles. A cousin’s daughter’s sweet sixteen. The cousin is a wealthy blonde who is friends with a lot of other wealthy blondes, Marla among them. I saw her across the room and decided, well, this kind of opportunity doesn’t come up often so I strolled over and told her how great I thought she was in the movie Happiness. (This was sincere — it was a small part, but she was terrific.) We ended up hanging out and talking for a while. It was great.
