Let's Go Back To 2015 For A Moment

Donald Trump has just finished burying Rosie O'Donnell and is riding down his Gold Escalator at Trump Tower to make his announcement for his intention on bidding for President of the United States of America in 2016, HOWEVER, He decided to run for the Democrat Side instead of the Republican?? Do you support him at the time as a Liberal or even on the Left or is this a case of different times back then because after all, Trump did used to donate heavily to the Democrat Party and got along very well wit the Clintons as you can see here:

Thats a great question. I think Democrats would have loved Trump and would have voted for him. The only caveat is Hillary, she thought she was destined to be President so I think the donors would have backed her instead of Trump. They would have rigged the primaries against Trump and Bernie.

There are tons of videos of democrats loving on Trump back in the day.

Great question. It would have depended on who the Republican nominee would have been. But more than likely I would have still voted for Trump. I vote for whomever is the best choice. I voted a democrat Governor of our State. I live in a Red State so unfortunately no one will ever vote in a democrat even though he or she is a better choice.

If he ran on the same policies that he did as a republican, I’d imagine most of the same people who voted for him before would still vote for him.

Why wouldn’t you vote for him if he stayed a democrat?

So let me get this straight: Under a Trump Presidency, we had a rock solid Economy, Gas prices once again on an average of $2.39 a Gallon and as low as $1.75 at one point, no shortage of food on the grocery store shelves or shortage of baby formula like under Biden, A Southern Border that wasn't the clusterfuck we see under Biden and YET, you'd still vote for this man, right?? Everything I just mentioned that was accomplished under Trump would push you over the Edge to vote for Biden, right??

Dude. You are descending into trolldom more with each post.

Libs often whine that we conservatives attack their patriotism.

But this is why. The base assumption of policy debate is that the goal is the interests of American citizens and America.

YOU are operating from a more...universialist approach, shall we say, where the interests of hte illegals are just as important to you, OR MORE SO, than the interests of your fellow citizens.

That is clearly the way that you feel. That actually fits with liberal ideology.

Yet, liberals want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to attack the very idea of patriotism and yet they whine when we suggest that their policies or ideas harmful to Amercians.


Nothing I have EVER said, would justify a stupid ass question like, "are all illegals bad".

That's you playing stupid games.


I want immigration policy that serves the interests of Americans and America. Nothing about that, implies that I think that "all illegals are bad".

There is a conflict of interests here, between the interests of Americans and the interests of Illegals.

If we are honest about it, Americans will defend their interests and deport the illegals.

you know that. That is why you are so dishonest abou the issue. Because you are prepared to lie about the issue to defend the interests of your friends, at the expense of your fellow citiznes and America as a whole.

I don't think immigration polices are moral or just. If you actually want to cut down on immigration ending the drug war would actually help that. Yet you support the drug war.

Just because something is a law does it make it moral..that's the problem with conservatives. You get to pick and choose when you think laws are moral. However you get mad when others do the same. I don't think deporting people is moral, same way I don't think the drug war is moral.

That is not a fact. I already told you how my friends actually help out war veterans and do volunteer work that help the citizens of this country. That's the honest truth. You dismiss this because you know you can't fight it. Things are not always black and white like you want to think.

No I actually know I'm on the right side. It's why I discussed morality. You hide behind the law as if that makes your point for you.

I did make the case on how they can be good for this country. I guarantee my friends have done more for citizens than you ever will.

The drug war is a failure. It's immoral and you support it. I even was able to school you on prohibition of alcohol. I can do the same with immigration. So let's start with a question. Am I free to think what I want about a law? Do I have to agree with every law in this country?

If I knew this why would I point out how my friends fo wonderful things for citizens of this country?

No you dismiss it because it goes against your narrative. I have not just an individual case but many cases of immigrants being great people. I also stated how ending the drug war would help with immigration and again you dismiss that also.

Nope I have proved you wrong about prohibition and the drug war. You were so uneducated you didn't even have a stance on whether alcohol should be illegal currently or not. Those policies were harmful to society yet you were perfectly fine with them and supported them. You still support the drug war. So forgive me if I'm not buying you wanting what's best for the country. You are self righteous and full of shit. If you wanted what was great for the country you wouldn't support the drug war. Yet here we are.

I didn't just speak about my friend. Another lie from you. I also stated that ending the drug war would cut down on immigration. You dismissed that also. You are the deceptive one here and you know it.

2. Vote for Trump. That would be good enough for me.

Oh yeah. You guys don't want to hear anything. You want them deported and nothing will change your mind. Why should I be open to your view when you aren't open to mine?

Lol. And if he got deported as a result of that? That's like telling someone else to report a person for smoking weed. You may not have directly reported them but you were the reason they got tipped off.

1. So, when you say "you guys scapegoat illegals", are you being serious or is that just you way of dismissing views you are not open to and pretending that it is our fault you did that?


2. Ok, so just be honest then that you are basing your policy position on loyalty to your illegal friends with no concern for how it impacts your fellow Americans or the country as a whole. That way people listening can understand that that is the choice, policy to benefit illegals or policy to benefit Americans.

After all, that is the choice. Let's be honest about that.

Oh no I'm serious. Many right wingers would rather focus on illegal immigration when there are bigger problems in this country.

I told you many of my illegal friends have helped out citizens of this country. They help war veterans and do tons of volunteer work. I like how you skipped right past me stating that they help citizens of this country. That was you being deceptive again.

1 But, your real motive for saying that, is that you are not open to discussing the issue seriously. After all your position on the issue is not based on what is good for this country or it's citiznes, but on your loyalty to your friends.

2. My position on the issue is the interests of Americans and America. Yours is loyalty to your friends. Any benefit they provide to Americans or America is really, at best, ICING ON THE CAKE, from your pov. Admit that and we can have a real discussion of the issue instead of playing games and shit talk.

Not true. It's why I asked you why I should play a hand in deporting immigrants. You gave no convincing argument for me to do so.

That's what you say. It doesn't mean it's true because you say that. No I think it's awesome they do volunteer work to benefit the country. It's why I argue against people who want all illegal immigrants deported. Notice how it switched from having me deport them to you wanting me to vote for Trump. How is that sny different?

1. You have never given me a chance to make the case. You always immediately start with the "scapegoating" dismissal.


2. Your focus is clear. You have mentioned that they are your friends many times. You have discussed how wonderful they are.

Are you claiming to feel a strong sense of loyalty to your fellow Americans?

I have. I asked you why I should help get illegal immigrants deported.

I have loyalty towards what's good for the country. And some illegal immigrants are good for the country. Are all illegal immigrants bad for the country no matter what?

1. YOu mean your best friend? LOL. Sure, you're completely open to discuss the issue, NOT.

2. You can't even give a simple yes. Becuase it's not true. YOu do NOT feel a sense of loyalty to your fellow citizens.

3. The issue of illegals is clearly one where you discuss the group generally speaking. Even phrasing the question the way you did, ie Are all illegals bad no matter what, shows your bad faith on the issue.

He never would have gotten the Democrat nomination without first:

- Changing his platform to hate America first

- kissing Obamas ring

- stepping aside for Hillary

Things that would’ve been different if he had run as a D.

There’d be no:

- “Reeee Russia Russia Russia”
- Covid 19
- Truth Social
- Stock Market above 25k

Trump is a quasi-libertarian. In this scenario are you suggesting he would have changed his views on no taxes for millionaires and social programs for the poor?

He never would have run as a Democrat and Democrats would never have supported him. Rubbing elbows with his wealthy powerful friends like Bill & Hillary is irrelevant.

Trump didn't have NO TAXES for millionaries. Did he even reduce any social programs?

IMO, the question is valid. Trump COULD have craved out a place as a conservative dem, with the same or similar policies.

I'm sure there would be a way to spin no new social programs or increases and/or even tax cuts for the rich.

It would have been...even more of an internal fight than he had in the gop primaries, but...

have him focus on America WORKER jobs, and working class wages even harder, it could have been done.


The real fun would be that it would have given the hard core left no where to go. The GOP in this scenario would have been.... terrible. The Country Club republicans would have joined with the Country Club dems and been... disgusting.

I wasn't sure if I would have been able to vote for a dem, but, now that I think how the Blue Blood Deep Staters of both parties would have rallied around Jeb...

Yeah, I would have crossed party lines.


It's a good question.
