I say that because there's no reason to think that Trump won't turn on a dime the instant he has to face a general electorate, and begin advocating a whole new set of policies. He adopted an entirely new set of beliefs for this race, one attuned to what his current audience wants — not just xenophobic, but fervently pro-life, pro-gun, pro-God, and pro-whatever else he thinks primary voters want to hear. Trump panders shamelessly to whoever he's talking to, he has no genuine ideology, and he won't feel tied to anything he's said before, any more than he's tied to his previous positions on health care or abortion.
Unlike other politicians who struggle to explain any hint of contradiction between what they're advocating now and what they've advocated before, Trump waves it all away. Remember all the painful contortions Mitt Romney went through to convince Republicans he was in complete agreement with them and had renounced his prior hints of moderation? Trump doesn't bother with that. Who cares what I said then? This is what I'm saying now, and anyone who has a problem with it is a low-energy loser.

Are we being scammed by the GOP?
Yes.
run for your lives.. it’s desperation time.. run for your lives.. only Cruz can save us
Yes. By them all!
The GOP made a demand Trump swear an oath to the GOP—then the GOP has done all it can to screw up Trump’s march in the polls...so what do you think? The GOP is loyal to anyone but the RINOs?
No one cares what you say now, either.
Uh, the GOP has betrayed us.
The GOP has been betraying us for years.
I’ll go find a bucket to cry two tears into it.
Blah Blah Blah we want cheap labor Blah Blah Blah
Many people who have known Trump for years say he is who he’s always been. Changed some positions but not core beliefs. Always hated abortion, always 2nd Amendment, always thought we were giving jobs away.
And we care about the GOP why?
“He adopted an entirely new set of beliefs for this race”
Wonder how this idiot avoids all the old videos with Trump saying the same thing then that he says now, or all the book where he wrote the same things he says now.
Let’s remember, “you go right to get the base on board, then move to the center to win the general”
Or does that not apply to Trump?
He’s been betraying the GOP from day one. That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
Rather the GOP is in an “outsider insurgancy” war situation. The Dems as a party is “dying”.
In other words, both parties are imploding.
Put a plaid jacket on Trump and the Real Used car salesman will come out
I’d rather give Trump one chance to betray me than give the GOP their 17th.
Alot of teary brides are gonna be left at the alter.

I saw this title and immediately realized that this is horse chit - and have now -immediately -moved on to another thread.
