More on The Donald - or Donald the Moron

Jack Kemp

Here are some choice nuggets that Jonah Goldberg dug up on Donald Trump. Try running for President with this in your closet.

Here are the the link and the quotes from a fine article:

Consider Mitt Romney. Nearly every conservative in Christendom not on Romney's payroll -- and some who are -- insists that his "RomneyCare" law in Massachusetts is a political albatross given its similarities to ObamaCare. Well, here's Trump in his book "The America We Deserve": "We must have universal healthcare. Our objective (should be) ... to find an equivalent of the single-payer plan that is affordable, well-administered, and provides freedom of choice." Trump's flip-flopping now, as he is on his past support for Democrats, raising taxes, etc. And changes of heart are fine. But forgive me if I don't equate the word "Trump" with "sincere."

That may be true. But how will "the blacks" feel after the DNC starts distributing excerpts of "Trumped," an unofficial biography by a former employee who writes that his old boss hated having a black accountant because "laziness is a trait in blacks," and, "The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

Oh, and any fiscal conservative smitten by Trump's vaunted business acumen should at least keep in mind that the only reason he survived bankruptcy was that he was "too big too fail" for his bankers. Trump is a protectionist who made billions gaming some of the most corrupt and politicized real estate markets in the world (and, according to documents on Smokinggun.com, his philanthropic foundation is stingy beyond reckoning).
