Everyone selectively forgets, Trump is not a career politician, he's a rich guy that has opinions. I'm ok with people changing their opinion or position. In fact that's a right I hold near and dear as an American. As someone that was a die hard Republican from a very young age, I'm really tired of the belief system that it's all or nothing with each party. I like things from both parties, neither are completely wrong or bad.
I'm glad the artist formally known as "just another Bush" opened this can of whoop *ss on himself.
There must be at least 300 hours of him and/ or his family members flip flopping on positions available on YouTube today! BTW, not when being interviewed as a citizen ( as mr trump was here) but while holding state and federal office. How many times did W talk in complete friggin circles while standing IN the Oval Office?
I don't dislike "Jeb" but I'm actually going to get my popcorn ready for the shat show that's about to start now!
2016 marks the death of labels. For decades they have toyed with us and appealed to our “conservative” side but when elected we never heard from them again. McCain became a huge conservative two weeks before election. This time around people don’t care about labels so you can loop Trump’s conversion, which was almost 20 years ago, and it won’t make a difference. What he can do now is important.
Is Jeb Bush's campaign at all familiar with the concept of attack ads? You know, the part about making your opponent look bad?!
I can't believe it, this "attack" ad actually makes the subject looks good. It shows him being composed and answering questions thoughtfully. WTF?
No need to overthink this: just grab some footage of him jarring with Rosie O'Donnell, wrestling in WWE, making hyperbole on Apprentice; and intercut with Gary Busey being lunatic. Finishes off with Trump saying he'll make Mexico pays for the wall and cut to Busey saying something crazy. Done.

bush digging up stuff from 1999. in politics that is ancient history. opinions change, people change.
Trump would have been about 53 in 1999. By age 53 most people have formed pretty definite opinions, especially on things like abortion and gun control. It's possible that he had a genuine change of mind, but it's also possible that he is just saying what he needs to say to stay afloat in the GOP primaries.
In a case like this you can only guess. Mitt Romney went through similar changes, but persuaded many conservatives that it was genuine in his 2012 CPAC speech. Trump hasn't said anything yet to persuade me that he's not just saying what he needs to say to stay afloat in the GOP primaries.
As for the poll, the ad (excellent, btw) does not change my mind. I was already aware of all of this, but props to Jeb Bush for working to make more people aware.
edit: note to OP--next time choose the 'public poll' option when making a poll like this. This allows everyone to see which poster cast which vote. Otherwise you will get a bunch of libs responding to "I'm conservative and support Trump," making the results worthless.
People who still label themselves and everything else as either liberal or conservative, are living in delusion land by thinking these terms have any real meaning. They don't.
Does this change your mind about Trump (both those who support him, and who don't).
Made me laugh. I don't support him but this is so chopped up I can't take it seriously.
