Trump mentioned how he has helped Iowans........ in campaign speeches!

That is pure pandering. A person of character doesn’t brag about helping others, the deed is its own reward. One thing Trump has little of is character.

As to Trump not being a politician. In this day and age there seems to be very small differentiation between many of them. So, you wish Trump’s running for POTUS in 2000 doesn’t count?

I heard this random act of kindness mentioned on tv well by others—oh and by Falwell—so Trump does something nice and it just cant count...

No I don’t think little more than exploratory committee on a third party really counts—not like Cruz, someone who has spent their whole life in academia or government.

Here is NPR Recounting of his 2000 bid:

In 2000, Trump was among five candidates listed on the Reform Party primary ballot in California. He had filed papers the previous autumn to become a member of that party and one of its presidential candidates. Although he had withdrawn from the race months earlier and did not campaign for the primary in California, he received 15,311 votes in the June event, 44 percent of the total.

How judgmental you are...Falwell and others have mentioned kind things Trump has done—we only need look to the Vets last week...but then I am guessing you would slam that too.

I would ask you tho how many times did Cruz help anyone besides himself? In Iowa or anywhere else ever—He is the definition of a career politician—planning his entire life, but his followers can’t see it.

Glad Cruz people have found their Jesus...only problem is that he isn’t.
