Does Trump Stand for Anything?

Without flip flopping within hours, days or years?

""'Trump once cast himself as a champion of "Jews, blacks, gays, and Mexicans" against a populist Republican presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan. His tough new rhetoric is the latest in a series of evolutions that has shown him go from Reform Party populist to Bush critic to Obama fan to conspiracy theorist to nativist Republican frontrunner."""

"""Can the nativists even trust Trump?

Take, for instance, Trump speaking withNewsmax in November 2012 after the election. In that interview, The Donald said Romney had a "maniacal" and "crazy" policy of "self-deportation." He went a step further too saying Republicans were "mean-spirited."

"Republicans didn't have anything going for them with respect to Latinos and with respect to Asians," the billionaire developer says.

"The Democrats didn't have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren't mean-spirited about it," Trump says. "They didn't know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind."

Romney's solution of "self deportation" for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says.

"He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal," Trump says. "It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote," Trump notes. "He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country."

The GOP has to develop a comprehensive policy "to take care of this incredible problem that we have with respect to immigration, with respect to people wanting to be wonderful productive citizens of this country," Trump says."""

NDavid, I created two threads on just two points of the list of things Trump "stands for". You are your crew will not comment or even discuss his platform. You are just as irrational and unreasonable now as you were a month ago with no let-up in sight.

Look, 0, you just attacked me in another thread when I posted to the subject of the thread. You lied and claimed I was hijacking the thread, that I was being petty, childish and a host of other insults. And now you're upset that I have ignored the two threads and decided against posting in them because of your bullying?

I understand that, now that Trump is revealing himself as the liberal we knew he was, you need to reassure yourself and make yourself feel better; however, I have no interest in responding to your threads after your personal attacks and lies against me.

I called you out for your nastiness. Others have as well. You are what you are.

Bottom line...the GOP has a nominee. That nominee has a platform. I've yet to hear any detractor quote from his platform and explain what's wrong with it.

This is nastiness? Posting the definition of the word and offering my opinion is nastiness???

Yes, Trump is a bigot, by definition. And he has proven he's a bigot by definition. Note: people assume racism or other things when the word "bigot" is mentioned. I'm not going to make that claim. Using the literal meaning of the word, yes, Trump is a bigot.

If nothing else, his wish to change the law as to allow himself to sue journalists who write "nasty" things about him is a hint as to his bigotry.

He's absolutely intolerant of anyone with a differing view.

Nastiness is lying and claiming I hijacked the thread, when I did not. Nastiness is calling me rude, silly, childish, petty and shallow because of a post which you didn't like but couldn't argue against. That is nastiness.
