Donald Trump said Friday that he would not use torture if elected presidenta complete reversal from statements made just the night before, during Thursdays GOP debate, in favor of committing war crimes. In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, Trump now says he would not order the U.S. military to break international laws, despite previously proclaiming he would authorize the military to kill family members of terrorists and that he would use torture techniques a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding. Trump now would use every legal power that I have to stop these terrorist enemies, but he understands the United States is bound by laws and treaties and I will not order our military or other officials to violate those laws and will seek their advice on such matters.

(21,570 posts)and Bush basically destroyed his entire campaign by calling him a flop flopper? And people were following Kerry around in flip-flop costumes? And people when asked why they voted for Bush says Kerry is a flip flopper? And no one ever actually pointed out any sort of pattern in Kerry's history of constantly changing his mind, but everyone believed he was a flip-flopper anyway?
so............. is trump a flip flopper? and if so how can those braindead teabagger types that wore the flip flop costumes possible support him?
THESE IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!! I bet they are voting for trump!
