    Donnie was only a “staunch” Democrat because he was playing to the local crowd. Was he ever a true Democrat? Did he ever care about any of the traditional issues? No chance.

    Like Bloomberg they’re just Dem to fit in and not be ostracized. All those fucks are conservative Republicans in reality.

      “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat,” Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in a 2004 interview. “It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats. …But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we’ve had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans.”

      Even then a fucking moron who couldn’t rub two sentences together could get it. It’s been con ever since.

      He was playing to a national crowd.

      And Bloomberg is another great example (abet in the other direction). He was hosting Bush 43 at the Republican National Convention in 2004 and now he’s a Dem mega donor.

      All those fucks are conservative Republicans in reality.

      They’re all Business Conservative. And they’ve all got their investments in the various parties like casino magnets in Vegas working the crowds on the Strip.

      Different pastiche, but its all the same bullshit games and prizes once you get through the door.
