I wonder why the term "flip-flopper" isn't applied to Trump like it was to Kerry when her was running? Trump can give any candidate a run for the money when it comes to 180-degree reversals.
"Just days into his new role as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump is walking away from key positions that have defined his anti-establishment bid — including his pledge to keep wealthy donors at bay. The New York real estate tycoon, who frequently boasted throughout the primary race that he was financing his campaign, is setting up a national fundraising operation and taking a hands-off posture toward super PACs...
The billionaire’s tendency to change his mind on policy matters is a hallmark of his unconventional campaign — a quality he casts as an asset, saying it shows he is open to new ideas. Even so, his latest reversals are striking, particularly when it comes to the financing of his presidential bid, a central part of his pitch to voters...
Throughout the primary contest, the Manhattan mogul bragged that he was the only contender unencumbered by alliances to rich backers. Even though he has been accepting donations ($12 million worth through the end of March), Trump’s proclamation of financial independence fed a sense among his supporters that he alone was standing outside a corrupt process. The candidate furthered that impression by regularly denouncing his opponents for leaning on super PACs, which can take unlimited contributions, and by disavowing groups that cropped up to support him.
But Trump expressed little concern this week that a super PAC called Great America PAC was emerging as the vehicle of choice for wealthy Trump supporters, and he praised one of the group’s advisers, longtime Republican consultant Ed Rollins. “I know that people maybe like me and they form a super PAC, but I have nothing to do with it,” the candidate said Wednesday on “NBC Nightly News,” adding, “So we’ll see what happens.”
He also acknowledged that he cannot personally cover the cost of a general-election campaign for the next six months, unless he is willing to “sell a couple of buildings,” as he said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Trump's a flip-floppin' fool, and cons are his tools.

...Throughout the primary contest, the Manhattan mogul bragged that he was the only contender unencumbered by alliances to rich backers. Even though he has been accepting donations ($12 million worth through the end of March), is a little misleading at best.....its no wonder people don't trust the media...
So, 19% of the 12 million came from Small Contributions, 6% from Large Contributions.....

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
Nice try. Trump reneged on his promise.
Poor Blabo.
