I know. It was hypothetical.

Yep.

That is actually false. www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2015/aug/24/jeb-bush/bush-says-trump-was-democrat-longer-republican-las/

Huh. That's pretty interesting. Thanks mramerica!

Voc, you might also be interested in this video. I'm pretty sure he speaks about being a Republican a while back. This video was a real eye opener for me, as I wasn't originally in favor of Trump. I voted for Cruz in the primary.

There are a lot of people who would disagree. I'm not one of those people, but there are a lot.

Yep

Then what do you believe he is?

An opportunist.

He is an opportunist, but back then, they wouldn't have seen most of his antics because the Internet and the 24 hour news cycle did not exist.
I think those things do more harm than good for him, although he and his supporters might disagree, and so I think he would have thrived even more.

That's an interesting perspective.

That is a very intriguing point ...

Back then, he was also more even keeled. Voc, I pasted this video above in another thread in this poll, so if you've already watched that one, don't bother! Lol

Check out the difference in his manner, and the difference in how all the reporters treated him, compared to now:

I started watching it and got caught up in something else. I do understand he changed over the years. I use to like him, before he started campaigning. I'm actually wondering if something may be wrong with him the way he says something then says he never said it and things like that.

I try to wrack stuff like that up to the fact that he's been on a VERY steep learning curve for the last 2 years. Can you imagine having to learn everything about being the President when you had never even been a mayor or even a lawyer, in a 2 year time period? Blows my mind to even think about it! Lol

Glad to see our convo inspired a poll! Lol I voted no.

Me too! That's one of my favorite things about this app
