Yes Charley, Donald Trump is the Democrat's Best Friend. And a RINO!
Evidence is as follows,
Trump used to be a card carrying member of the Democratic Party.
At that time he said he was OK with partial birth abortion.
He also supported a Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren style wealth tax.
In 2017, when Republicans were putting together the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Trump wanted to increase taxes on upper income Americans. Ironically, Gary Cohn, a Democrat and Trump's economic advisor, talked him out of it.
At one point Trump supported Stacey Abrams for governor of Georgia over Brian Kemp, the Republican.
In 2016, Trump refused to say he'd support the Republican nominee for president, unless he were the nominee.
In early 2021, after he'd attempted to steal the election and lost support from many Republican politicians, Trump toyed with the idea of starting a new "Patriot Party." This would have drawn votes from Republicans and made America into a one party state, controlled by Democrats. Trump backed off when McConnell, McCarthy and others fell back in line.
Trump's PAC is running ads attacking DeSantis for supporting measures to make Social Security and Medicare solvent when DeSantis was in Congress.
Trump criticized Ted Cruz's father for allegedly killing John F. Kennedy. Please note that JFK was a Democrat.
Trump caused Republicans to lose control of the Senate in 2020. He ran off Jeff Flake, who would have easily won the general election in Arizona. He questioned whether Republicans' votes would be counted in the Georgia Senate runoffs. So why go to the trouble to vote? He later backtracked. But with Democrats fired up to go to the polls because of Trump's attempts to steal the 2020 presidential election, that did little good.
Trump caused Republicans to lose the Senate again in 2022. He supported losers like Herschel Walker. To get through the primaries, candidates had to pledge allegiance to Trump and claim massive voter fraud. This did not sit well with Democrats. They were fired up again to go vote. As a result, for the first midterm in a long while, Democratic candidates did better than the polls predicted. Pat Toomey, who would have kicked Fetterman's ass from here to Timbuktu, did not run for reelection, perhaps because he knew Trump was going to have him "primaried."
Yes, Donald Trump, the Democrat's Best Friend
