The man Has been in the public eye much of his adult life, yet you make your decision by narrowly focusing on his campaign speeches, ignoring decades of his words and deeds.
Why?
Understanding focus is the key to understanding politics. The now focused Trump, in dealing with questions of policy, is intellectually plugged in to the actual subject matter. Quoting quips he made, in contexts that have nothing to do with the actual responsibilities that he now seeks, is deliberately misleading; deliberately hypocritical in the moral sense.
We need to stop this crazy war between the Trump & Cruz supporters, as we need both groups to win in November, and to keep the pressure on the politics as usual crowd to avoid the idiocy of the "politically correct." See Support For Trump & Cruz.
Good question. I realize it seems like I’m being selective.
He was not running for President before. He is now coming to grips with the fact that he may actually be the next President. He is thinking - if I get the chance what will I do? Can I make things better?
Sure, he’s taking on a new found political persona and he doesn’t have a long consistent record - I concede that. He sounds a bit primitive compared to we long time WF Buckley conservatives. But I’m impressed that he picked conservatism as his bandwagon to climb onto, and he gets more conservative every day. Maybe he is going to get shunned as Noob, like on FR.
Like I said before, if he was a liberal he would have had an easy time running as a Democrat. Why go to all the trouble of faking conservatism? It doesn’t make sense.
