The Deal On The Donald

That's an important question posed by Brittany Pounders. And she attempts to answer it in this article:

Is Donald Trump Conservative Or Liberal?

According to this Pounders, this is a partial history of Trump's political donations. Granted, as a businessman, Trump may have given irrespective of party affiliation. After all, It makes good "business sense" for him to contribute to politicians that represent districts where he is doing business or is considering business ventures. That would explain the contributions below.

• 11/8/2010- $2,700-Democratic Party of Delaware.
• 10/21/2010 -$2,400- Anthony Weiner (D)
• 9/20/2010- $10,000 – Democratic Committee of NYC
• 2/18/2010 – $2,000- Anthony Weiner (D)
• 4/7/2010 -$1,000 Charles Schumer (D)
• 3/26/2009- $2,400 – Harry Reid (D)
• 8/11/2009 -$2,000 – Bill Nelson (D)
• 5/20/2009 – $2,000 -Charles Schumer (D)

His businessman's mentality can be an asset, but it also has its draw backs. Some things need to be based on principles, not back-room deals and contributions.

Can we trust his new-found positions on same-sex marriage and abortion? He's told us he's pro-life, but he won't tell us if he would make abortion illegal. He told O'Reilly: "I'll get back to you, you let me think about it." Respecting Gay marriage, he told O'Reilly --- "It just doesn't feel right." So he has not reasoned out his positions. He feels things; he doesn't think through. That's what Liberals do. Which is why they die with their brains in unused mint condition.

So The Donald lives in world where there appear to be no moral absolutes. He may sound like a straight talking populist, but he's just he's looking to me more and more like a Wall St. con-man. He says the right things, he's yet to prove he has the moral compass to back them up.
