Wrong. This is not the 1700s. The last thing America needs is yet another law clerk turned career government politician.
We don’t need someone who can recite law. We need a real leader capable of bringing this disaster back from the brink at the hands of corrupt politicians in D.C.
Learn it.
I didn’t notice NYC got saved.
Trump supported Michael Bloomberg for Mayor. That’s been a disaster for NYC.
I have no idea what that means.
Well he told ya that’s why he’s running for the top job himself, because none of them can or will right this perpetual intentional decline. They’re too busy buying votes and seeking power and wealth. The politicians prove this daily.
The Towers! That makes the Waldorf look like chump change. I used to live down the block from the Waldorf. On hangover mornings, I’d go to Oscar’s - the Waldorf’s long gone coffee shop.
I always posted that Guiliani proved to have much better legs than Hillary but it didn’t cut it amongst the rural types here, lol.
Nobody dislikes Bloomberg more than me but he has not been a disaster for NYC in a business sense; quite the opposite. As a social liberal, he was the worst. Well, until DeBlasio.
I’m sorry... given his options, supporting Bloomberg may have been reasonable for someone like him whose only concern is political graft. Trump also gave to DiBlasio... that’s just stupid.
I was born and raised in New York. I remember the Lindsay years. (I didn’t think it was possible to make Lindsay look good, but Comrade DeBloodio seems to be pulling it off.)
Trump has been mostly good for New York. He’s done a lot to help the city. His efforts in Atlantic City were not as successful.
As I said before, I think Trump would make a great mayor, as Giuliani was. But like Giuliani, that doesn’t mean I want him to be president.
Trump has praised single payer, proposed an immigration plan that is way too close to touchback amnesty, abused eminent domain and supported Kelo, attacked Scalia (with an imputation of racism) while praising his liberal pro-abort sister as a “great” choice for the Supreme Court,opposed full defunding of Planned Parenthood, said that he’d replace 0bama’s executive orders with “good ones”, and taken liberal positions on numerous other issues.
He has donated BIG money to Democrats, more than to Republicans. He called Pat Buchanan a “Hitler lover”. He changed his party registration SIX times (not once, like President Reagan.)
At the very least, he’s not a reliable conservative.
We hve the possibility of nominating and electing a candidate with a constitutionalist conservative record. Why opt for an inconsistent populist with “progressive” leanings instead? Isn’t that the kind of candidate that has lost for us?
Then you’re blind, as well as stupid.
I don’t consider that a good thing.
LOL...I remember Oscars! Gee, I guess that that dates both of us. :-)
I worked up the block ( west ) of there and would sometimes go there for lunch.
Yes, Rudy has MUCH better legs than Hillary ever dreamed of having!
Teddy has accomplished what?
NOTHING !
And he has NO vision for this nation; he talks a sort of good game, when he isn't pretending to be some T.V. evangelist, but he is just a M2T and is far too tied to the likes of CRAZY Glenn Beck! Talk about flip flopping...thine name is CRUZ!
You're completely off base and have NO idea about what you're talking about, nor business at the level Trump engages in.
LOL! Rudy’s legs!
Across the street from the Waldorf’s was (and still is) a 24-hour pharmacy that had an old-fashioned counter. I once saw Mary Tyler Moore eating there in the middle of the night. NYC is so cool.
DeBlasio is working hard to return New York City to the cesspool that it was during the Ed Koch years. Soon, all productive New Yorkers will be taxed out of the city, but the hookers, drug dealers, pan handlers and bums will remain.
You never changed your party registration in NYC? I did on occasion to vote in primaries. It’s not that unusual in NYC if you’re a conservative. I understand perfectly why Trump did that. I once worked on a campaign for a republican governor and we were told to change our registration in an attempt to beat out the democrat!
I don’t think he “abused” eminent domain. In his most famous case, an old lady won out over him (although Cruz lied about that one, too!) He made an excellent case for ED at the debate. He’s knocked Planned Parenthood plenty and I’m sorry but Pat Buchanan does have dodging opinions on the Holocaust.
Trump’s DEFENSE of his liberal donation record was that it was political graft.
No; I’m still there as is my family. More people are moving in than are moving out.
No, never.
In fact, my dad ran for City Council as a Conservative.
I certainly wouldn’t change it 6 times.
