‘I am working for you now’: Trump delivers lengthy defense after tax filing leaks

[aligncare]

I wouldn't call them progressive liberals. Though, they surely test the limits of that phrase.

I don't think it goes any deeper than wounded pride. Most are Ted Cruz supporters who haven't gotten past the pain of his loss. They're still mourning--you can still hear evidence of this months after his resounding defeat as they say things like "we could've nominated a true conservative," etc.

They simply can't let go.

lordy, who knew?

So I'm a "progressive" because I won't kiss your alt-right arse?   

Real conservatives and patriots fight the scourge of Trumpism.

We're conservatives, bub.   That means we oppose "leaders" and their sycophants who ape the methods and rhetoric of fascism.

We will not be intimidated.   Trumpism must and will be repudiated.     

 

If I have to choose a hill to die on, saving conservatism from Trumpism looks like a good hill.

It would be hard to pick them out of a Hillary rally crowd.

Don't they know Ted Cruz is now on the Trump Train?  Don't they know by kicking against the pricks, they are putting vote balm on Hillary's vote ticker?

Can you explain in 10 words or less exactly what CAUSE you are going to fall on your own sword for?

[XenaLee]

Trumpocrats = Lifelong liberal Democrats that now support Trump.....

while pretending otherwise and while projecting their liberalism onto 'others'.

...oh, I just thought of one other piece of evidence of my wounded pride theory.

A moderator here at TBR PM'd me not to say anything about NeverTrumpers being Hillary supporters or that NeverTrump lends tacit support for the Hillary campaign, because it "sets them off."

Isn't that interesting? NeverTrumpers can say anything they please about Trump supporters, but if we Trump supporters speak of the 800 lb gorilla in the room, we get admonished and censored.

Isn't that interesting to see on a website that purports to support everyone's free speech?

Anyone up for some "free speech?"

 

[musiclady]

Projecting indeed, per usual.  And it's ironic, also per usual, that the #alwaysTrump camp apparently is A-OK with higher debt and big government elitism....since Trump represents that (and the stagnant economy it produces) only too well, and has for decades.  Most of what Trump 'trumpets' is just the same ole same ole Democrat policies...only with the big fat Trump label slapped on.

Trump has never seen a big-government program that he (or his family, namely Ivanka) didn't just LOVE....as proven by their recent pushing of federally mandated maternity leave....yet another Democrat wish-list agenda item.

Bottom line....Hillary may be progressive large.....but Trump is nothing but progressive lite.  And his temperament leads one to question whether he wouldn't be even worse for the country.

I disagree.

Trump is ALSO "Progressive Large".............. and now I understand that this most avid, devoted, slobbering followers are as well.

It's become almost comical that they call actual Conservatives "liberals" when they're supporting a pro-abortion, pro-HUGE government leftist like Trump.

To a liberal black is white and white is black.

You can see it right on this thread.  (Some may call it dishonesty.  I personally do).

Another post in which you resemble an old woman whining about a neighbor.

Nothing about Trump, nothing about policy, just more jabs at the ever-increasing number of #NeverTrump.

Progressive doesn't mean liberal exclusively.

Teddy Roosevelt was "conservative" in many respects but was every bit the progressive scumbag as Woodrow Wilson.

The evidence your statement is silly beyond belief...Ted Cruz, along with a significant number of Nationally known #NeverTrumpers have declared they will now vote for Donald Trump.

Conservatives for Hillary!  LOL.

..what this actually exposed as people started looking up what his business history was after being told he was such a great businessman, then seeing these massive losses is who he actually is owned by...

...when people stopped listening to the campaign rhetoric and looking at his history, they didn't see this business genius, the are finding a guy who was constantly needing bailouts and is owned by Wall Street, the Saudis, and even George Soros to name just a few who had to bail out his projects...

It wasn't about not paying taxes, it was about losing billions over and over again....

....he ran his empire like a guy who runs up credit cards, then gets more credit cards to make the minimum payments on the ones he ran up, lather, rinse, repeat until he is maxed out, then he gets bailed out with leverage off his property, spreads the debt out, and starts all over again.

The only thing that really worked for him was selling his name and image.  The rest of what he did was akin to a teenage girl with her daddy's credit card.

Looks like Happy haZ a sadZ because he failed high school civics.

It's OK Happy. you can take a remedial course to learn how election actually work. Sadly, many of you liberal voters (Thats logically defined as people who vote for a liberal...which Donald Trump has a lifetime history of being) seem to be unaware of our system and are literally uninformed voters by definition.

First learn the system you vote under, then vote. If you vote with no understanding of the system, you are damaging your country.

Hey Myst, here's yet another thread filled with the 'you support Hillary bullshit. So as requested, here you go.

Same people. Same accusation. They arent listening to you.

Geez another post where practically everyone is on ignore...it's gonna be a long 5 weeks

Besides, how is it that people actually believe he's going to take on a system that he was a prime beneficiary from?

[XenaLee]

Teddy Roosevelt was "conservative" in many respects but was every bit the progressive scumbag as Woodrow Wilson.

It does now.....since....the liberal Democrats (who are now radical leftists) insist on being called "progressives" rather than liberals, to escape the negative connotation that the term liberals represents.  Ever the fans of 'redefining' and remolding themselves re: that symbolism over substance tactic....they are pretending to be what they are not (they're lying).

I'll probably get banned here too, since I intend to use every argument I can to get folks to vote Trump, including the one you referenced.
