Everything he said in that video sounded reasonable to me.

To people who want more illegal immigration it is reasonable to grant amnesty. Amnesty is a magnet that draws more people to come here illegally.

Am i missing something?

It is a position he flipped on. He claims now he isn't for amnesty and wants to deport all of them.

It would be pretty unlikely that it would get worse. There have been more back room deals under the current administration than the previous one despite the statement that this was the most transparent administration in history from Obama and how it was said they were going to restore integrity and transparency to Washington. Almost all the transparency related promises were broken.

That's true, but it gets worse with each administration since Carter.
 
I voted yes.

Not because I think a Trump administration would be appreciably more transparent than the average, but because the Obama administration is demonstrably so far and away the least transparent administration in U.S. history that virtually anything would be an improvement.

I think studies have been done proving that the Stalin Kremlin was more transparent than the Obama White House.

You do know that he voted for Obama, said the economy does better under a democrat, wants a leftist like Oprah Winfrey as his running mate, supported assault weapons bans, universal healthcare,abortion, higher taxes, amnesty, even though he claimed to not be PC he was on board the terrorist dick sucking band wagon to condemn Pamela Geller for her lets draw Mohamed contest,and he helped liberal candidates get elected,

Vetting Donald Trump. Is He Really Conservative?

Click to expand...
Wow. Trump has never been a conservative. He does have some conservative values, like me and Jeb! Being conservative isn't a useful indicator of presidential candidates in the GOP. When was the last conservative GOP candidate for president? Reagan in 1980? Before that? Goldwater in 1964? Conservatives are a loud (with their microphones) minority in the GOP. Many conservative candidates flock and are called to the first conservative GOP caucuses/primaries only to drop off after about three from lack of support.
 
Its not so much the presidents that are secretive, its everyone they surround themselves with that are. Trump is ignorant of many policy issues thus will require a ton of advisers just like any other president and they will be just as secretive as any other president. In fact, I guarantee you that most of them will be out of the Bush Administration.

This...i call BS when he talks about religion. This Liberty University short clip is a fine example of his BS.



I don't however think he if full of **** when it comes to business.
 
There's no need for me to reply with your post any more, here, Jamesrage. Do you also know that Trump is quite concerned with the shape of the US? Its debt. It's military. Undocumenteds. Terrorism. Free trade (a conservative axiom) that doesn't guarantee fair trade and jobs to American workers?

It'll take a while, if ever, to get those things accomplished. Obamacare? He's recently flipped on Obamacare, doesn't want it because its too expensive for the country but wants some sort of assisted government health care for indigent Americans.

His stances sound like most GOP presidential candidates. Less spending. More jobs for a better economy. Less threats to the federal government (not conservative for sure).
When all these get accomplished, if ever, Trump might flip again or be bored with the whole presidential thing but that might take his entire life time to achieve.

Did you vote for Obama 'cause BO was/is ignorant of many issues. Which presidential candidate knows everything about being a president or has the time? if Trump has an expertise, it's about bringing an insolvent 'agency' to solvency. Most of Trump's policies stem from his desire to bolster America's economy which the other side has absolutely no idea or inclination to bolster.. He's going to use the dollars of private enterprise to bolster America. Dems have shown to me that public enterprise doesn't bolster economies.

He's courting voters. Probably told to do this by campaign managers. No religion would be a part of Trump presidential policy.

Bull**** - the only thing that concerns Trump is Trump.

He is a loudmouth bullying moron.
 
I guess you as the bullier, would know, SMTA.

If Trump has an expertise, its in marketing and promotion. Just the same, once again, all presidents have advisers and a cabinet, and it is those around them that promote secrecy more so than even the president themselves.

Because Trump is ignorant of a lot of policy issues. I am not sure how anyone can disagree with that. It is all neither here nor there anyway being that Trump has managed to insult so many minority groups that it will be demographically impossible for him to win in the general unless the Democrats are dumb enough to nominate Bernie Sanders.
 
I like how Obama promised the most transparent government in history.

I like how whistleblowers had to keep that promise for him.

But you specifically mention Trump as having ignorance of policy issues. Why not say all presidential candidates are ignorant of policy issues leading to the need for specialists in their cabinet (who may not be as transparent)?

At least, Trump isn't saying he'll be the most transparent president in history and then turn out to be quite nebulous - like BO. Trump has already mentioned he's paid past government officials in an attempt to gain access to their positive vote for his concerns. That's quite transparent.
 
RBIII said:
Yes, no, maybe so?

I kind of get the feeling that every time congress doesn't act, Trump would call to the carpet anyone member of congress who were more loyal to their donors than the constituents. More transparency or nah?
Click to expand...

The only people Donald would call out would be those that disagree with him. If they're doing what he wants he's not going to give two ****s if it's what their constituents want or whether it's what their donors want.
 
Hell no. Trump didn't accumulate his fortune by being an altar boy.
