I thought it might be interesting if we were to point out Trump's, ahem...not so Conservative positions.
I'll start...
Trump advocated higher taxes, just like universal health care, Commiecare, only he claims he can fix it, Wall Street bailout, expanded government powers to take private property (Kelo).
Thanks to Taxed and Hoofer we have TARP and his support of Planned Parenthood.
Adding to that, he supported the 2008 Auto Bailout.
Supported TARP:

QuoteAnd yet, Trump also repeated his support for a major issue that's anathema to many Tea Party activists and other conservatives: the bank bailout.
"You had to do something to shore up the banks, because ... you would have had a run on every bank," Trump said.
He said he acknowledged some conservatives' view that ailing banks should have been allowed to fail: " 'If they go out of business, everybody would, that's fine.' "
Previously, in a December 2008 CNN interview, Trump also expressed praise for the auto bailout.

Beat me to it!
For starters he still supports Planned Parenthood- thanks to his daughter. 4-17-2016
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/17/us/politics/ivanka-trump-donald-trump.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
QuoteInside her father's campaign, which has brazenly eschewed the advice of political experts, Ms. (Ivanka) Trump is one of a few people who can, on occasion anyway, influence the candidate's thinking. She failed to persuade Mr. Trump to apologize for accusing Mexico of sending its "rapists" over the border, according to a person close to Mr. Trump who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak for the campaign. But, this person said, she successfully convinced her father to maintain his qualified support for Planned Parenthood in the face of Republican criticism.
News media and GOPe is curiously -silent- about this... they'd throw the Pro-livers overboard in a heartbeat, if they could.
After a phone call to Bill and Hillary it took very little time for Trump to become a republican. But then he was able to get his democratic staff with no problems. I don't think Trump is happy with his staff. :lol:
This is getting good. :lol:

Add stolen valor to the list of reasons not to vote for Mr. Trump.
That's what it is, he is doing by claiming the support of veterans who were never asked, and never said they would or do support his campaign.
He's trying to capitalize on their valor, and service to our nation.
It's despicable, dirty, underhanded, not to mention an intentional attempt at misleading of the general public.
I will never ever understand why it is that so many are just A-ok with, and continue to vote for people who run for public office.
All the while right to their faces, they are being lied to by that person. As was the case when it was Obozo running for the office.
As is clearly now, the case with Trump also it would seem.

This one would have been perfect if they tailed it off with their answers to partial-birth abortion (which were the same).
Trump loves high taxes.
But the fact is, that 25 percent for high-income people — for high-income people — it should be raised substantially with the understanding that if you invest, you can get it down and down substantially below that number. The incentive was taken away when the tax rates came down for high-income people. And I say leave the middle, leave the low lower. But people with money have to have the incentive. The dentist, the doctors — they have to have the incentive to invest. And there's no incentive.

Donald Trump's Jet, a Regular on the Campaign Trail, Isn't Registered to Fly

Over the past several months, Donald J. Trump has crisscrossed the country making dozens of campaign stops in places like Sioux City, Iowa, and Jackson, Miss., often in his sleek Cessna jet. There is just one hitch: The plane's registration is expired.
Records kept with the Federal Aviation Administration show the aircraft's registration lapsed on Jan. 31. Laura J. Brown, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration, confirmed that the plane's registration was not in good standing and said the owner had not renewed it.
Mr. Trump's plane could be grounded for several days, or even months, while the issue is sorted out. In the event of an accident, the company that insures the plane could use the expired registration as a reason to decline any claims.
The F.A.A. could also fine or assess other penalties against the owner, the operator or both; Mr. Trump owns the plane through a limited liability company. Though it is unlikely that the agency would seek the maximum penalty, flying with no registration could result in a civil penalty of up to $27,500, a criminal fine of up to $250,000 and imprisonment for up to three years, it said.

Taking a business overseas is killing it here, making Trump's plan a corporate death tax. Is this much different (other than scale) than what government already does for inheritances, estates and the like? But I seem to recall that the U.S. already has one of the highest corporate tax structures. You can go nowhere but down if you want to compete. Staying at the top of that list, you won't.
Trump won't get a hard leftist bunch like the RINOs and the Donks to go along with the sort of tax cuts which WOULD work and attract fresh industry. It's the same as the 12-year tax abatements at a state level (Michigan) to build and operate a large business. TWELVE YEARS! Imagine federal income if "too many" companies want to come here...to succeed.

QuoteIt's not especially remarkable that House Democrats once summoned fellow liberal Donald Trump to Capitol Hill to testify about the alleged adverse effects of Ronald Reagan's 1986 tax reforms. What is somewhat remarkable is that this clip wasn't dug up by a conservative opposition research team, but rather by Trump's own campaign -- which proceeded to blast it out into the public bloodstream as evidence that "Mr. Trump" is an all-caps EXPERT on economic matters. And what conclusion did his "expertise" produce? I'll let Trump answer that question in his own words. Again, this comes via Trump's social media director, who -- ta da! -- can't vote for his boss today because he's not a Republican:
What's remarkable about this? SIX YEARS of Reagan tax cuts, the economy turned around, while everyone was celebrating and benefiting from a revived, robust economy - the Democrats trot out... drum roll.... Mr. Negative - Donald Trump.... to deny the obvious..?
Quotefrom the transcript:
So this tax act was just an absolute catastrophe for the country, for the real estate industry, and I really hope that something can be done — as Congressman Thomas recently said, that something can be done to change at least parts of it, because it has taken all incentive away from investing in real estate, and real estate really means so many jobs...by having cut the high income tax rates to 25 percent, as an example, people don't have the incentive any more to invest. They're saying, "Why should I take a chance on investing in low or moderate-income housing? I might as well just pay the tax." But the fact is, that 25 percent for high-income people — for high-income people — it should be raised substantially with the understanding that if you invest, you can get it down and down substantially below that number...I was asked to come by the Chairman, and I make this plea that, if something isn't done to put the incentive back — I mean, we're no different right now than the Soviet Union. They have no incentive, and we have no incentive. And if something isn't done to quickly put the incentive back, this country is going to be in very deep problems.
sigh... :thumbdown: Trump's claims were dead wrong, the roaring economy lasted through over a dozen more years. 4 out of the 5 candidates want to raise your taxes - guess which one is most like Reagan and wants to cut taxes?

Driving down the road, sometimes.... this kinda stuff just hangs with ya, "What is it about these Trumpettes, that they would trade liberaty, and freedom for "getting" the GOPe?" Then it occurred to me,
Trump supprters are literally ONE ISSUE voters.For a moment, mentally run through the REAL things that make America the greatest country in the world, and ask yourself, to which candidate holds those positions. Clearly, it is Ted Cruz. Ted thinks like a constutional conservative, talks like one, and has a convincing track record as a solid conservative.
Now ask yourself, "Of the socialism, populism, communism, liberalism positions, who holds those positions? Let's say EMBRACES those positions?" Even if we threw out decades of supporting the most liberal positions, and started with the last 6 months - Donald Trump is still the standardbearer for Liberal causes.
Are Trump supporters ignorant of these problem areas?
NOPE. They still like Donald Trump.
With Donald Trump switching positions, from conservative to liberal, are supporters abandoning him in droves?
NOPE. They still hang on, fanatically. it's something else, some emotional attachment.
What is the common theme among democrats, liberals and conservative (so called), who are ardant Trump supporters... they feel left out, disenfranchised, stepped on, abused by the Dem & Rep - they want someone who will Stand Up for them and take the fight to these elitists. Listen to Trump's speeches, it's all about "getting even" with somebody.
Call it the "get even" party platform. Trump supporters don't care WHAT position Donald takes, just so long as he takes the fight to the "bad guy" ... who today is actually someone just like himself, rich, aloof, uncaring about women, etc., and tomorrow could quickly become those who like the 1st, 2nd, etc., amendments - you and I.
This is LIBERALISM on parade, their tactics, their liberal policies, their socialism...
These Trump supporters would rather burn down the house, than call the pest control and weed out the vermin. So long as they follow him, he's ok with that.
The Get EVEN Party.

Driving down the road, sometimes.... this kinda stuff just hangs with ya, "What is it about these Trumpettes, that they would trade liberaty, and freedom for "getting" the GOPe?" Then it occurred to me, Trump supprters are literally ONE ISSUE voters.
For a moment, mentally run through the REAL things that make America the greatest country in the world, and ask yourself, to which candidate holds those positions. Clearly, it is Ted Cruz. Ted thinks like a constutional conservative, talks like one, and has a convincing track record as a solid conservative.
Now ask yourself, "Of the socialism, populism, communism, liberalism positions, who holds those positions? Let's say EMBRACES those positions?" Even if we threw out decades of supporting the most liberal positions, and started with the last 6 months - Donald Trump is still the standardbearer for Liberal causes.
Are Trump supporters ignorant of these problem areas?
NOPE. They still like Donald Trump.
With Donald Trump switching positions, from conservative to liberal, are supporters abandoning him in droves?
NOPE. They still hang on, fanatically. it's something else, some emotional attachment.

Then he needs to fire himself. :laugh:
The price of flying privately does not come cheap. The Trump campaign has paid a company that Mr. Trump owns more than $3 million for campaign-related travel since he announced his candidacy.
The price to register an aircraft, however, does come cheap: It costs only $5, and the registration is valid for three years.

Solar I"m not understanding something here. How is it that the FAA and airports are allowing a plane, that is unregistered to fly in U.S. Airspace.
Man we don't even allow a car to go down the road unregistered in the U.S.
But a plane? After the attacks of 9-11? That's hard to believe Solar.
And if it is true, then I would suggest we as a nation need to have a very serious discussion.
Because the TSA, FAA, and the United States Army and Airforce. Aren't doing their jobs.
And in the process are creating a very serious national security issue. As well, all of us should know now that we are post 9-11.
