Although Donald Trump is trying to re-invent himself as a conservative for a possible bid for president in 2012, reminders of his prior support for Democrats and big government polices keep adding up. The latest: The Donald supported the auto bailout in 2008....

Trump is certainly stirring the pot with his vocal stance on Mexico; but time will reveal his true colors.  I remain skeptical calling him a true conservative especially with Clintonian ties.  I question his true objective; is it to really run for president or to steal the limelight away from those in the GOP race?  I certainly agree with his view of Mexico and I applaud him for speaking out and bring the recent shooting in San Francisco to light; but I also just read today where one of his casinos claimed bankruptcy and he has illegals working for him.  Whether or not the later is true remains to be seen.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Pick up his book from 2000, The American We Deserve. On many issues like healthcare, gun control, abortion, taxes, he isn't much different than Bernie Sanders. Trump is in it for Trump and I don't believe he believes a word of what he says. He is saying what his people have focused grouped to fire up the average Joe citizen, and they are falling for it.

Trump is, and always be, about himself. He has always represented the worst of crony capitalism and corporatism- using the government as his hammer to get his way. He was the other end of the corruptocracy coin, the guy hiring the lobbyists to get politicians to do his bidding.

If it isn't evident, I don't trust him at all.

Can we agree he has entirely disrupted the GOP primary season?

Yep, he completely took the cameras off the other candidates and made everything about him. Now, when the average voter thinks about politicians on the right, the first face they see is hairpiece and they associate the right with his corruption.

He has disrupted the GOP primary season, however, I'm glad he is doing it now, not later in the year or at the start of 2016.

Maybe what Trump has done will cause several...the more the merrier...other contenders to also speak plain truth regarding the dangerous Left...who, btw, no longer want to be called Socialists, but rather "Populists".

Sure we can.  It's just a pity Americans can't relate to his "disruption".  /sarc

Looks like somebody is digging deep for Trump dirt.  Amirite?

I can relate to his disruption. I am waiting to see if he is in for the duration, or just to make a flashy appearance, and then depart.

I'm not optimistic that his involvement will bring about a GOP victory, but my mind is open.

Apparently, Rush Limbaugh thinks that Mr. Trump has amazingly turned "the discussion" from being about him, to about the state of immigration:

For one who is "disrupting" the campaign, Mr. Trump's behavior seems to be resonating with a sizable group of Americans.
