A lot of excellent points made on this thread.....
What's wrong with all of Trump's detractors when they always trot out Donald''s donations to the most despised LIBERALS, but NEVER bother to mention his equal donations to CONSERVATIVES?
I could understand greasing the wheels if you're a businessman, donating to the democrats and republicans alike, but whats with the 60 grand to Mitch McConnell?
First of all, Trump has donated considerably more to democrats than to republicans. Second, he donated to the establishment republicans, never conservative one one.
In fact, quite the opposite. Some of his largest contributions to republicans were made in an effort to defeat Tea Party candidates.
thundly4 said this earlier which made me do some googling and I found the McConnell thing. Maybe Trump is another establishment type, which would make his whole “outsider†thing fall apart. And I’d be upset that people got swindled. We can handle a Trump presidency, I’d be more concerned that people are voting with their emotions instead of their heads. Thats the problem with the left.....
Trump is not my choice by a long shot but given the stakes if he is the nominee then so be it.
A SCOTUS that will "find" an inalienable right to vote in the Constitution for all persons on US soil regardless of citizenship is possibly in the balance.
No one should be fooled imo though and right now Trump is the establishment choice.
They would rather have him as President and will be grinning when he discovers having a spit flying tantrum in the Oval Office amounts to almost nothing.
He has made it clear he lives to make deals.
The alternative to them is Shillary who is always available to the highest bidder.
The one they can`t stand is Cruz.
My first hi five given. Well said. Notice in the last debate, Rubio, Cruz, and the Fox moderators handled Trump. Cruz kept telling him to count to ten. And Trump took it. So agreed, Oval Office tantrums are not gonna fly.
However, he has been sounding more like an establishment politician ever since.
Agreed. Again, to reference the last debate. They brought up the NY times off the record conversation where Trump might have revealed that “the wall†was starting point in a negotiation. During the rest of the debate, I felt like he was backing a up a bit from his bombastic talk and moving into the “I’m a dealmaker†etc, and brought in more of, “we need to come together/negotiate†talk. You could look at this as, “this isn’t what I want, I want someone who’s gonna shake things up,†or, “Who is Trump? Is he the ‘bomb the sh*t out of isis guy, or is he the ‘lets sit down and make a deal guy?’†Meanwhile, I’m not asking myself “who is†when it comes to Cruz or Rubio……more things to think about....
Cruz is a great choice, yet we have seen a lot of bashing of the front runner DJT.
Personally, I don’t want to bash Trumpsters or Trump himself….but rather try to convince people………and even then, I think people have made up their minds.....
My ex leftist turned moderate republican/conservative father told me that if we get to a brokered convention, and they finagle up some nomination that doesn’t involve Trump, he’ll go third party and we’ll be stuck with Hillary. And my dad hates the Clintons like no other so he's motivated by a lot of fear but still...and he doesn't like Trump. Rubio is his guy.
