Shortly after Barack Obama swept into the White House while giving Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid a coattail Marxist Congress, Newsweek Magazine ran the cover "We're all Socialists now,"...
...it took until last night before it was literally true, as New Hampshire gave a full-throated socialist a rout over semi-socialist Hillary Clinton on the Democrat side and the once and now apparently again socialist Donald Trump won...
...In case you missed the final score, it was Bernie by about 18 over Hillary and Trump by about 18 over John Kasich. Yes, John Kasich. ...
...Trump has flirted with socialist talking points and ideas for decades, including...
..."Trump has promised to allow the government to negotiate drug prices â a common position among Democrats but rarely heard at nominally Republican events. He said he would not raise military spending, arguing that the nation's defenses can be improved without increasing its already huge Pentagon budget. He promised tough sanctions on American companies that move jobs overseas."
Think about that. He's full Bernie on the military, and instead of rolling back our liberal government to entice companies to stay onshore or move onshore, Trump wants to sic the IRS on companies...
..."Trump was, in other words, in full populist mode as he wrapped up his New Hampshire campaign." York understates. He was in full Bernie Socialist mode. Meanwhile, daughter Ivanka Trump yesterday insisted that "from day one, my father has set the agenda for both parties."
Indeed he has. It sounds a lot like Bernie's socialist agenda. And he and Bernie both won. Beam me up, Scotty...

Good question. Can anyone tell me whether Trump runs his political campaign like a Socialist or a Capitalist?
I’m not a big Trump fan, but I think it is a stretch to call him a Socialist. I tend to agree with Trump. I think we can strengthen our Military without increasing spending. There is billions upon billions of graft, corruption and kickbacks in the procurement and contracting processes. You see stories all the time about the military paying thousands of dollars for something you can buy for $10 at Lowes.
Same end as a Socialist, much different means.
That statement is very much like the socialist that screams “but the other guy did it wrong and that’s why it failed and I’ll do it right, trust me!”
Trump doesn’t have the core principles - the constitution - to make “America Great” again.
More big government is more big government. Just a different flavor of more of the same.
The ONLY thing that will make America great again is restricting government to its constitutional limits letting people be free of it and be productive again.
Congrats Trump Freepers, it's 1-1 now, and a total score of 17-10-7-4-3-3-1-0-0.
SC next, with the same 36-18 prediction expected.
it means can he visualize a large project and manage it so that it comes in on time
it means trump has vision and skill
Here’s the first part of a 12 part documentary about his business practices. It was made long before he decided to run for President. Watch all the parts, and it’ll give you a pretty good idea of how he does business.
Good question...
Trump a socialist! What have you wrought? ;^)
No, those grapes aren’t sour; it’s just the bad taste of losing that you are experiencing.

Step two, go look up Trump's pattern of donating.
Step three, listen to Trump's own statements on the matter from the first debate:
Q: You've also supported a host of other liberal policies, you've also donated to several Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton included, Nancy Pelosi. You explained away those donations saying you did that to get business related favors. And you said recently, quote, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.
TRUMP: You better believe it... I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people. Before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me. And that's a broken system.
Yep. A crony capitalist. Don't vote for political whores! Vote for the John! (D)onald! Yay!
Yes, and they should be put off from voting in the future by their shame. Like those who voted for Obama twice.
Socialists use walls to keep their citizens in, you realize?
Some good points here, but I think you're genuinely over stating your case.
It's hard not to agree that Trump isn't a principled conservative, because he's not. It's also hard to agree with the premise of your article, that Trump is a socialist, along with the implication that he's not much different than Bernie.
In spite of Trump NOT being a principled conservative, there is a case to be made for him being the best candidate to help bring this country back from the brink. There is a good case to be made for supporting him over the others.
I've always admired your writing, will continue to do so, but I think you're over the top a bit with this one.
Cognitive dissonance. How is America "great again" with diminished Constitutional rights?
It’s a good day.
