How is any opposing candidate supposed to be able to pin down the position of a guy who says that EVERYTHING is negotiable?

Second amendment? Negotiable.
Abortion? Negotiable.
Backroom deals in Congress? Negotiable.
Amnesty (the big thing he used to get people’s attention right away)? Negotiable
Iran continuing to get the bomb? Negotiable
Etc.

By using that simple word “negotiable” Trump wins the right to call everybody else a liar. And his supporters swallow it hook, line, and sinker, because as Trump himself said, he could murder somebody on the street and his supporters would still back him. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the concept of accountability. Seems more to be a boast that he can do whatever he wants to, just like Obama and the DC “establishment” have been able to do when the leftist press had everybody brainwashed. At first I praised Trump for turning the PC garbage of the media upside-down, which needed to happen. But it seems now that people are just as stupid and ignorant as ever and that’s the way Trump likes it. It feels to me as if there was no problem with a lying press; the problem for Trump was that it wasn’t HIS lying press.

"Negotiable"

Oh come on now. We all know what he means. He is putting forth his opening bid and is saying 'now tell me what you got'. It is Art of the Deal and is meant to contrast against doctrinaire firm positions proudly held by others. You are reading WAY too much into this. Especially the shooting people on 5th Avenue. You clearly have no ability to relate to normal everyday conversation if you take that literally. What do you do when you are with the guys watching football and everybody yells 'Kill that SOB'! Seriously. Ya'll gotta relax. If you are diagramming his every sentence and word then you are doing it wrong. Try to imagine for a second that you finally have a 'politician' who is unscripted, unhandled, and well, normal like us.

Anyway, I gotta say that you surprise me here butterdezillion. I remember you as bird dogging the Obama NBC scam and yet here you are presumably running interference for the Cubanadian. Correct? So how does that work?

I mean, with DingleBarry we had a violator of the Constitutional requirements, the first ever candidate with a foreign parent. Unprecedented. Now with Cruz we have all that plus being definitely born in a foreign country. That last component was what you were on about in Hawaii correct? Man, you gotta tell us the story of how you made this herculean leap to presumably supporting someone far less qualified under our Constitution.

Garbage. By negotiable trump was specifically talking about the wall. And what was negotiable was how high it was. Anything else is just made up fear mongering. He's strongly came out in support of the 2nd amendment and everything else you listed.
