For the Dems, do Primaries really exist? Or only when it's convenient for them to exist?
I think that’s why Trump decided to switch parties. He was a registered democrat his entire life until he decided to run for president. But unlike the GOP which has real primaries, the democrats have a fixed one with superdelegates, so Trump knew he’d never win.

Trump just cares about admiration and power and will pass whatever policies he needs to keep his colleagues happy and stay in power. And the Republicans provide that.

Really? I didn’t know that. Interesting stuff! I can see a “little” Donald Trump at age four (probably 6’2 even at that early age, having been a duly registered Democrat for, well, I guess the previous four and nine months, running the place!!



**Oh, and a fella name of Ronald Reagan was first a registered Democrat as well, before himself switching to Republican.

Did you read the rest of that post or did it make too much sense and your mind decided to ignore it?

Seriously, when I look at the people who have visceral hatred of Trump, ie. every single leftist interest group, I know that Trump had the country on the right track. Also, OP seems like a frail, limp-wristed milquetoast. Kind of glad to see shim flip to the other side.

Do you feel silly and embarrassed because you know that anyone with half a brain knows that you are troll?

I love that you keep outing yourself as a fraud. Trump was only a DIM for the 8 years of the W presidency (2001-2009). He was a lifelong Republican until then. He didnt run for president until 2016. Youre just making up shite because youre full of it

You just described every politician, ever. Quit pretending that Trump is the only one

I'm now feeling conned and embarrassed that you thought you could actually pull this off without being exposed

No, Donald Trump did not run for president in 2012. He seriously considered entering the Republican primary to challenge President Barack Obama, but formally announced in May 2011 that he would not seek the nomination, opting to remain in the private sector and continue hosting

the frick are you talking about? the Republicans fight Trump harder than they fought Biden.

We cant even pass legislation with control of the House, Senate and Presidency. The Save Act should have been rammed through and implemented by now.

If you feel "conned", or like Trump hasn't delivered enough for your satisfaction, then cool story, I guess. You're allowed that opinion. And it'd be nice if you provided some specifics.

But to say you feel silly and embarrassed for supporting him? Well, that's the part that makes you a retard. Because it suggests regret. It suggests you feel like you should have gone with the other option. And it suggests you never truly supported Trump as you claim.

I believe you're a reasonably bright guy and understand TA's point, but your response has nothing to do with his post.

Just like any other politician. The problem is that the Bushes, McKeating5, and Mittens cared far too much about admiration from people who didn’t vote for them and were never going to vote for them. Trump gives no fricks about the people who didn’t vote for him, and has quite explicitly told them to go frick themselves. For this reason alone, he will rightfully be remembered and revered alongside Ronaldus Magnus as “Donaldus Magnus” by us Limbaugh conservatives.
