In 1999 Trump proposed universal health care to be paid for by a 15% wealth tax

as part of his abortive attempt at the Reform party nomination.

I still can't help but wonder in the back of my head if his whole point in this primary is just to torpedo the Republican nomination process and bring out all the worst elements of their coalition.

1. Trump will say whatever it takes to get the power.

There is not truth in him.

2. it sure is shaking them up ! I just wish

He would stay in as long as possible...for him to trash every one of them! Its enormously entertaining

3. by the way..the problem with the theory

Is that he is going at all of them isn't he?

4. That supports my theory I think: he's weakening every candidate among conservatives

Which means no matter who wins, he comes into the General with a wound on his right flank.

5. agree...guess don't know what u mean

About right? I actually think he is deep down more liberal on social issues than the rest..despite the immigrant comments. Doesn't give a shit about the personal stuff..just money and business

6. He has "evolved" apparently.

Similar to the way Obama evolved on marriage equality

7. Yep, he's a gadfly. Also find this entertaining.
